has been spotted five times. The most recent sighting occurred at Longwood Gardens in the borough of Kennett Square, about an hour southwest of Philadelphia. This is where security footage showed him moving around the area while carrying a duffel bag, a backpack, and a hooded sweater. After determining that Cavalcante had probably slipped through the original perimeter due to that sighting, officials expanded the search area farther south, but they claimed his activities indicated he was feeling the pressure of the extensive search and that his options were becoming more limited. Authorities advised locals to keep their homes and vehicles locked, while two nearby school districts decided to cancel classes on Tuesday as a precaution due to the expanded search. Additionally, they were instructed to search for any missing automobiles, bicycles, or other modes of transportation that Cavalcante might use to facilitate his flight, as well as the homes of

out-of-town neighbors. Authorities have not yet revealed how Cavalcante managed to escape, saying they are looking into that matter. Cavalcante had just been given a life sentence for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, a crime committed in front of her children. He slipped away while being transferred to a state facility. Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, officials have announced the death of a second victim in connection with a weekend shooting in Linn, a town about 10 miles northeast of Boston.
