As the manhunt for a convicted killer who slipped out of a Pennsylvania prison continues for the 10th day Saturday, authorities conducting an intense 24-hour operation now have nearly 400 officers on search efforts.
Officials assigned additional law enforcement personnel to search for Danelo Cavalcante as the number of his reported sightings in Chester County has grown since his escape from the county correctional facility on August 31.
“We pulled more people in through the night last night,” Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens told reporters Friday, adding the reinforcements are from state police and other agencies. “We have got numerous tactical teams that are out doing searches.”
Bivens, who is leading the massive search, provided a tour of the command center on Friday to a CNN crew and other reporters to show how authorities are operating.
Police showed a live map of the general perimeter where tactical teams, K-9 dogs and a helicopter are scouring for any signs of Cavalcante. There were also multiple mobile trailers outside of the command center used for additional space.
Typically, law enforcement staffers are working 12-hour shifts at the command center, sometimes even longer, Bivens said.
“I want people to know it’s not a matter of having one call taker in here that’s answering a tip line and perhaps dispatching a police car to go check that out. There is a major operation underway to try and capture him.” Bivens said.

The escape, which was caught on surveillance video, was not seen nor reported by the prison tower guard on duty at the time. Officials fired him Thursday after serving the prison for 18 years, a source with knowledge of the decision told CNN.
Cavalcante was convicted of first-degree murder last month for the 2021 killing of his former girlfriend, 33-year-old Deborah Brandão, in Chester County. Authorities said Cavalcante stabbed Brandão 38 times in front of her two children, who are now in the care of her sister.
Cavalcante is also wanted in a 2017 homicide case in Brazil, his native country, a US Marshals Service official has said.
Who monitors the videos. Asleep at the switch.
Biden escaped?
Wouldn’t veteran Social Workers be able to get the job done?
C’mon, Man!
I live a mile from where they think they have had him pinned down. They have Longwood Gardens surrounded and have had what they believe are sightings in there. Longwood is around 1,000 acres. I don’t understand how/why they can not just line up police 3 - 4 feet apart and just sweep the entire area.
Right now we are just outside the perimeter of the search zone but as the zone has moved, our neighborhood has been inside.
What a suprise that a state that had a tranny Health Secretary, and elected a retard to the Senate, can’t find an escaped convict.
Hes already back in Mexico...
“Who monitors the videos.”
The same guy who monitored Jeffrey Epstein’s cell.
Ping
Don’t we have enough of our own to imprison? We should just ship these illegal criminals back prior to trail.
Where are the dogs?
I think he’s trying to get to someone...the guy had any visitors??
Thanks! I knew there’s be a FReeper here with the inside dope. This is the first I’ve heard of it, though it’s easily national news at this point.
Stay safe!
He shouldn’t even be in this country.

A real sweetheart of a man.
The Biden administration keeps telling us that diversity is our strength and that unfettered immigration enriches our country.
This guy makes me feel all enriched and stuff.
/S
Act of love or something.
See Yeb.
All this man power for one guy when there are thousands more welling in over the border.

Like being concerned with an overflowing plugged up toilet on board the Titanic after being introduced to the iceberg.
Alphabet soup gotta play with soldier toys.
Eric Rudolph was national news because he was a boogie man to the left. The Cavalcante story has been kept about as quiet as a story of this magnitude can be, because it involves an illegal crimmigrant.
