Escaped double murderer Danelo Cavalcante caught after two-week manhunt

[NY Post] Convicted killer and escaped convict Danelo Cavalcante was nabbed by authorities Wednesday after evading search teams for two weeks by breaking into suburban homes for food and hiding out in the Pennsylvania woods.

Cavalcante — who escaped from the Chester County Prison on Aug. 31 — was arrested without incident and escorted into a van by a SWAT team shortly before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, as the search entered its 14th day, law enforcement sources told CNN.

Footage showed the double murderer wearing a gray Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt, which was cut off by officers, presumably to search for hidden weapons.

The investigators took pictures of his tattoos once his shirt was off, to confirm his identity, news station KYW-TV reported.

Residents in the area were alerted to his arrest via a reverse 911 call, CNN reported.

At the time of his arrest, Cavalcante was still in possession of a .22-caliber rifle he stole from a homeowner’s garage Monday night, officials said.

#2 They sure missed a chance to whip up anti-gun hysteria with all the hyped up armed citizens circulating about during the hunt. A friend whose son lives out that way said PSP grabbed some moron wearing almost the same exact clothing, apparently unaware of all the picture of the guy in the news. They easily could have shot first.

#6 Is the ambassador of whatever country he came from screeching about human rights violations in the hunt for him?
