The reward for information leading to the capture of a convicted killer -- who was caught on video escaping from a suburban Philadelphia jail yard -- increased to $20,000 as the search for the escaped prisoner entered its eighth day.
The difference, Holland said, is that the inmate in May was caught"in five minutes," while Cavalcante's escape went unreported for some time.In fact, he said, the prison wasn't locked down until about an hour after Cavalcante had fled the facility.
Holland also said the facility had bolstered security following the escape in May, focusing on areas"from the yard to the roof area." Residents who were under siege as heavily armed police hunted for the fugitive roaming their neighborhood for several days described frustration with the search and anxiety at being locked down.
After awaking to a noise in the kitchen at about 11:40 p.m., he checked on his young kids, grabbed a framed picture of his family as armor, then flickered the hall lights from upstairs several times — and had fear pulse through him when the intruder flicked them back. Police came within a minute, but not before Cavalcante — if it was him — was on the run again, with a few pieces of fruit from Drummond’s kitchen in hand.
