Just last month, on August 31, 2023, Danilo Cavalcante escaped the Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania after being charged with the first-degree murder of his ex-girlfriend using a butter knife. An interview with his mother about his childhood and word on the streets alleges that this may not be his only crime as he allegedly came to America to escape Brazilian law.
Today, we'll discuss his alleged crimes, childhood, escape from prison, two chaotic weeks on the run (with many sightings), and finally, his recapturing on September 14th, with input from a licensed marriage and family therapist.
Sending love and positivity to the families and friends of the victims and anyone who was hurt or affected by Danilo’s crimes.
