@snipsnapsnur. On what station are you watching it?

I'm a ways from there, but this guy could travel. I'm a little more conscious about things right now.

 I heard they canceled classes at West Chester University Friday. Does anyone know anything about that?

I only know what I've seen on the Philly news. They interviewed a man last night who thought the guy had broken into his home and stole food in the middle of the night.

I would watch but I don't know where to find the feed.

POCOPSON TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) -

 

'I think there might be someone downstairs.'

Police have responded to well over 100 tips from neighbors in the area, including allegations of possible break-ins to residential homes in the vicinity within a one to two-mile radius of the prison.

Ryan Drummond claims he saw Cavalcante inside his home on Friday night around 11:45 p.m.

"I woke up my wife and said, 'I think there might be someone downstairs,'" recalled Drummond.

After hearing a rustling downstairs, Drummond says he rushed to his upstairs landing.

"What I decided to do was flip the switch three or four or five times, paused, and then he flipped a light switch from downstairs. This was the moment of, 'Oh my God this guy is down there,'" said Dummond.

After making sure his children were sleeping in his bed, Drummond says he watched Cavalcante walk out of his home.

"I saw him walk out of the kitchen through our living room, open up that door, (and) walked out. He was wearing a white shirt, had a bag," he added.

Police arrived but the man escaped back into the thick wood and brush after taking some food.

"Peaches, apples, green snap peas were missing. We have a bunch of little steak knives and he could have taken one of those," said Dummond.

QVC is at the opposite end of Chester County and West Chester from where they are looking for him

It's only 11.6 miles from QVC's Studio Park to the Chester County Prison on S. Wawaset Road (and less as the crow flies).  The search is concentrated within two or three miles of the prison, in a residential, but wooded, area.

thanks for specifics. Traffic on Rt.202 and back roads can make it seem longer

I'd say it's pretty embarrassing to announce at a press conference that Cavalcante got through your perimeter and you are moving the perimeter south on day six.

Cavalcante was photo'd by a trailcam at beautiful Longwood Gardens last night. Longwood Gardens is closed today.

The New York Post is calling the five-foot high Cavalcante "the pint-sized killer."
