 by 'crab-walking' between two walls and up onto the roof of the prison – the same method used by another escapee in May. The previous escapee, Igor Bolte, was caught less than a mile from the prison and razor wire was placed on the roof to 'correct those vulnerabilities' – which failed when Cavalcante made his escape, CNN reports. The escape wasn't spotted by a guard in a tower overlooking the exercise yard nor the officer monitoring the prison's 160 cameras. Acting prison warden Howard Holland said the tower guard is on administrative leave and their actions are being investigated. Since his escape Cavalcante has been spotted multiple times on surveillance cameras – most recently on Tuesday as he moved into the woods near a house on the eastern side of the routinely growing search perimeter. He'd also reportedly been spotted inside someone's home.

A murderer is on the run after escaping a US prison – and his extraordinary method was caught on camera.
Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was imprisoned at Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania last month after being found guilty of murdering his former girlfriend, Deborah Brandão, in 2021.
He made his escape last Thursday (August 31) by ‘crab-walking’ between two walls and up onto the roof of the prison – the same method used by another escapee in May.
