Danelo Cavalcante was sentenced to life for the murder of his former girlfriend earlier this month. He's also wanted for murder in Brazil, authorities said.
Local, state and federal authorities are searching for a recently convicted murderer who escaped a Pennsylvania prison Thursday morning.
An alert was issued to residents within a six-mile radius of the prison as members of the U.S. Marshal Service, Pennsylvania State Police, and Chester County law enforcement search for Cavalcante. Howard Holland, the active warden, did not detail how Cavalcante is believed to have escaped. The escape is under investigation, he said.
