(WHTM) – The Pennsylvania Attorney General's office is investigating the escape of Chester County Prison inmate Danelo Cavalcante, according to Acting Prison Warden Howard Holland. In a briefing on Wednesday, officials showed video of Cavalcante's escape as he climbed a prison exercise yard wall to access the roof and pushed through razor wire. Video of the escape has been turned over to criminal investigators. Cavalcante was recently sentenced for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Deborah Brandao in 2021 and is also a suspect in a 2017 death in Brazil.
