Capture of escaped fugitive Danelo Cavalcante manhunt over

Residents of the Philadelphia suburbs where an escaped inmate has spent two weeks hiding in woods and fields, eluding hundreds of police officers engaged in a high-tech manhunt, said they could finally “open the blinds” again after he was captured on Wednesday morning, hemmed in by a tactical unit and subdued by a police dog.
