Danelo Cavalcante eludes capture after shaving, stealing a van and fleeing to northern Chester County

Cavalcante is now minus the mustache and beard he had when he escaped from Chester County Prison on Aug. 31. A state police official said: “This is a minor setback. We’ll get him."

Escaped convict Danelo Cavalcante is seen on camera near Phoenixville, according to surveillance footage released by Pennsylvania State Police early Sunday morning. He shaved his facial hair, changed his clothing, and was driving a white van stolen from a local dairy.
