Pennsylvania investigators release footage of prison escape | ABC News

As a Pennsylvania manhunt for an escaped killer went into its seventh day, an investigation has found he followed a strategy used by an inmate who bolted from the same county facility in May, officials said.

Fugitive Danelo Cavalcante absconded from the Chester County Prison on Aug. 31 by scaling a wall to gain access to the roof and pushing through razor before jumping down to a less secure area to make his getaway, Howard Holland, the acting warden of the Chester County Prison said at news conference.

The 34-year-old Cavalcante, who was at the facility awaiting a transfer to the state prison after being convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, followed the same method of escape and route used by an inmate at the Chester County Prison, Holland said.

Sooo crazy, I practiced this move in my hallway as a child constantly!! Good to know it's applicable in the real world.

"Prison Wardens hate this one trick"

[thetransphobe.]

You have to give this guy credit, that's a daring, audacious escape.He climbed that wall like he was spiderman.

[violett]

This shouldn’t be funny 😂 but omg we got an escape artist over here 😂

[lisaosmun]

Total embarrassment to the system. Where the hell are the guards?

[SunkissedPeony]

Is that all it took to escape? Smh...wow

[emmasigala]

If this is all it took for a dangerous murderer, to escape from your prison, then you should be ashamed of yourselves ! You might as well just hand him the keys, it couldn’t have been any easier for him to escape!😡

I swear on everything I love the story is true I was in my local county, and one of the trustees in the kitchen stole the maintenance man’s spare clothes and threw a fresh mop, head on his head, press the button to get out and told the guard he forgot something in his truck and they let him out the CO that open the door had been there for like 20 years and fucked up that bad😂

[Norego.Newzealand]

If Michael Jackson and Spiderman had a child.

[JohnnyPHX]

What kind of shoes he got on? The grip goes crazy!

[Rodrigomalucman]

I can only imagine J. Jonah Jameson screaming "Spider-man is a criminal!!!"

[heclove]

Ok.thats the beginning, now show us the other one when he flew over the fence..

[bobcourtier]

It’s easy to escape when the guys chasing you eat too many donuts.

[patriciawilson]

So whose suppose to be watching the inmates? That was easy.

[janiquechambers]

The other prisoners punching air right now😂😂😂

[brianmerrill]

wow... as Dennis Miller would say,

I haven't seen security that tight since the Lee Harvey Oswald prison transfer

[drandadeleon]

I bet when he was a toddler they couldn't keep him in his crib

[patriciashirley]

Wow, that's total negligence. All areas should be grilled with no open spaces. Smh. Hope they catch him soon.

[elviedelarosa]

He knows he's being watched - he's looking at the camera.

[sylvesterbestertester]

That was pretty good.
You got to give him some kind of break for pulling that off.
