On Sunday morning, officials said that Danelo Cavalcante, who escaped prison more than a week ago, was spotted in Phoenixville and was operating a stolen van.
Cavalcante can now be seen without a beard and in different clothing, although still wearing what appear to be prison-issued green pants.
Cavalcante has eluded hundreds of law enforcement personnel, including tracking dogs, tactical teams in full combat gear, and police on horseback and in helicopters southwest of Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the ongoing search for Cavalcante didn't stop Kennett Square from throwing its popular annual Mushroom Festival on Saturday.
The botanical garden, sprawling across nearly 200 acres, is normally open to the public with paths winding through gardens, an outdoor theater, ponds, fountains and meadows, with structures including indoor gardens, treehouses and a restaurant.
