Danelo Cavalcante's run from justice transfixed Latin America, a region that admires U.S. strength while resenting its centuries of interference and exploitation.
BRASÍLIA, Brazil — Thousands of miles from Pennsylvania’s Chester County, where escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante led federal, state, and local authorities on a 13-day manhunt, Túlio Pires Bragança followed the fugitive’s run with an ambivalent kind of fascination.
Vera Iaconelli, a psychoanalyst in São Paulo, says the killer's emergence as a kind of cult hero makes sense. “I thought the police would kill him,” he said. “But now I really hope there is a film or documentary about him. I would like to understand his side of the story — but not the side of the murders he committed, the side of his escape. That escape was spectacular.”
