Fox News correspondent Nate Foy has more on convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante’s escape from the Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania on ‘Special Report.’ 

Pennsylvania authorities said convicted killer prison escapee Danelo Cavalcante was possibly spotted around noon Thursday.

Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said during a Thursday press conference that Cavalcante was possibly seen near Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. He said a search of that area has been underway since the possibly sighting.
