Escaped prisoner Danelo Cavalcante continues to elude capture as the massive search to find him presses on into Thursday, a week after he fled the Chester County Prison by crab-walking up a wall, the same method used by another inmate who escaped in May.

The manhunt has brought hundreds of law enforcement officers using drones, helicopters and dogs to southeastern Pennsylvania, disrupting the lives of thousands of residents, many of whom are on edge about the fugitive’s whereabouts.

At a Wednesday press conference, authorities released video of Cavalcante’s brazen escape and announced a shift east in its perimeter after a resident saw Cavalcante in a creek bed behind their house in Pennsbury Township, a suburban residential neighborhood several miles east of Longwood Gardens, a botanical garden where Cavalcante was seen on camera Monday night.
