It's been nearly two weeks since Danelo Souza Cavalcante escaped the Chester County, PA prison and so far he has completely eluded capture.
As we enter day 13, the stakes have been raised as police warn that the double murderer Cavalcante is armed with a rifle.
The word on the street is that Cavalcante stole the rifle after breaking into a house, which he has attempted multiple times in the area.
If you see Cavalcante, keep your distance. He's killed before and he's desperate.
More from WaPo:
The type of weapon and how Cavalcante became armed remain unclear. Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens is expected to give more information at a news conference in Chester County on Tuesday morning. Bivens told reporters this week that Cavalcante was "extremely dangerous," and authorities have treated him as though he may be armed.
Hundreds of officers, as well as drones, choppers, and K9s, have been on the lookout for Cavalcante nonstop for nearly two weeks and keep coming up empty.
