On Tuesday, law enforcement released images of a sighting of Cavalcante after security at Longwood Gardens received trail camera footage on their property, later confirmed to be Cavalcante. Longwood Gardens is a botanical garden In Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, about 40 miles west of Philadelphia and 11 miles south of West Chester, where Cavalcante escaped.

According to authorities, who have issued a $10,000 reward for information leading to his capture, he was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, gray shorts and white sneakers.
He's also wanted for a 2017 murder in his native Brazil, the district attorney's office said.
Officials didn't say how Cavalcante escaped, but said he was last seen by an eyewitness Sunday afternoon in Pocopson Township. The acting warden of the prison, Howard Holland, earlier said Cavalcante "physically escaped," but said he didn't cut any fences to do so.
