Pennsylvania investigators release footage of prison escape | ABC News

As a Pennsylvania manhunt for an escaped killer went into its seventh day, an investigation has found he followed a strategy used by an inmate who bolted from the same county facility in May, officials said.

Fugitive Danelo Cavalcante absconded from the Chester County Prison on Aug. 31 by scaling a wall to gain access to the roof and pushing through razor before jumping down to a less secure area to make his getaway, Howard Holland, the acting warden of the Chester County Prison said at news conference.

The 34-year-old Cavalcante, who was at the facility awaiting a transfer to the state prison after being convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, followed the same method of escape and route used by an inmate at the Chester County Prison, Holland said.
