KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities have moved and expanded the search area for a convicted murderer who escaped from jail in suburban Philadelphia. That came after 34-year-old Danelo Cavalcante was spotted on a trail camera at one of the nation’s premier botanical gardens. The Chester County Prison inmate has been spotted five times since he escaped Thursday morning. The most recent siting came Monday night at Longwood Gardens, where surveillance video captured him walking with a duffel bag, backpack and hooded sweatshirt. That sighting led officials to move the search area farther south after they determined that Cavalcante had likely slipped through the original perimeter, but they said his movements show he’s feeling the pressure of the massive search.
