<\/p>\nPolice in Pennsylvania have identified an escaped murderer described as being "extremely dangerous", travelling by car just 22 miles from the prison he escaped from 11 days ago.<\/p>\n
Convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was spotted in northern Chester County near Phoenixville according to a statement released early this morning by Pennsylvania State Police.<\/p>\n
This follows several 'credible' sightings over the past few days, including a double sighting on Friday within a specified search area where over 400 officers are actively searching for him.<\/p>\n

Cavalcante was convicted of first-degree murder last month after brutally killing his ex-girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, in front of her two children in 2021 – and is also wanted for a 2017 homicide case in his native Brazil.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens, who is leading the manhunt, told reporters on Friday that there had been "eight or nine sightings of the fugitive since his escape."<\/p>\n
"He is clean shaven and last seen wearing a yellow or green hooded sweatshirt, black baseball style hat, green prison pants, and white shoes," investigators added early this morning.<\/p>\n
"He is operating an unknown vehicle, possibly white in color."<\/p>\n
Footage of Cavalcante's escape on September 2 showed him scaling a prison wall before pushing through razor wire to gain access to the roof of the facility.<\/p>\n

Initial inmate photos from Chester County Prison showed the man with a black moustache and beard.<\/p>\n
But the latest doorbell camera images show that he is now clean-shaven, in an attempt to conceal his identity as the search approaches the fortnight mark.<\/p>\n
He is the second inmate to escape from the prison this year and although the first escapee was caught in minutes, both used the same method to escape.<\/p>\n
