US EditionPennsylvania prison guard on duty when convicted murderer escaped is fired
- A prison guard in Pennsylvania has been fired after a convicted murderer escaped under his watch. The guard, an 18-year veteran, failed to notice the escape for over an hour. The escapee, Danelo Souza Cavalcante, has eluded law enforcement for over a week and has been spotted multiple times since his escape. He was sentenced to life in prison for killing his ex-girlfriend and is also wanted in Brazil for another killing.
- The search for Cavalcante has attracted international attention and became big news in Brazil. The escape and subsequent manhunt have involved hundreds of law enforcement personnel and various resources, including tracking dogs, tactical teams, and helicopters. There is currently a $20,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
- The search is focused around Longwood Gardens, a popular botanical garden where Cavalcante may have been spotted. The gardens have been closed indefinitely, and people on the property were told to shelter in place while officers searched for the fugitive. The search area covers nearly 200 acres, and Cavalcante has managed to acquire clothing and other supplies.
