Infrared technology, K-9s used to capture Pennsylvania escaped inmate | USA TODAY

Danelo Cavalcante, the convicted murderer who broke out of a Pennsylvania prison nearly two weeks ago, was captured Wednesday, concluding an exhaustive manhunt that bore down on rural areas of the state, closed schools and jangled the nerves of local residents.

Cavalcante was apprehended around 8 a.m. after his heat signal was detected hours earlier by a plane with a thermal imaging camera west of Pennsylvania Route 100, north of Prizer Road, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a news conference.

That minor bite wound wasn’t MINOR at all. We all saw it live & it was bleeding badly & down his face when they caught him. He was cleaned up for show. Just to be accurate.

Congratulações para a polícia da Pensilvânia. Este cara tem que apodrecer na prisão. Parabéna.

Celebrate, people like this should be locked up for life. I'm sorry to say this but some of this behavior is cultural. The treatment of women as subordinates and not as equals. The big question remains how did he get into this country, and start a family, all while being an escape felon from another country?
