 The search for convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante has entered its sixth day after he escaped from prison last week. Cavalcante, 34, escaped from Chester County Prison in the Philadelphia suburbs on Thursday morning. He has managed to elude police, state, and federal investigators ever since. Cavalcante was convicted on charges of first-degree murder after repeatedly stabbing his girlfriend, Debora Brandao, in front of her two young children. According to prosecutors, Cavalcante was upset after Brandao threatened to notify the police that he was wanted for murder in Brazil. Cavalcante was spotted at least four times since he escaped from prison on Thursday (Picture: Datawrapper/metro.co.uk) 'I don't know what he is capable of doing,' Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan said. 'If he's already engaged in murder in broad daylight in front of her two children there is no stopping him from doing something more egregious.' On Monday, police began using helicopters and patrol cars to blast a message in Portuguese from his mother, asking him to turn himself in. 'As desperate as he is, maybe he has a change of thought and hears his mother telling him to surrender, and his family cares about him,' said Robert Clark, a deputy US Marshal for the eastern district of Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, police in the area have received over 100 potential sightings of Cavalcante by concerned citizens. They have been able to confirm four of those sightings.
