The nationwide manhunt for Danelo Cavalcante, a convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison on August 31st, is finally over. He was captured Wednesday morning without incident. But the experience has put many communities on edge in this largely rural area. Prior to his capture, he was spotted on Ring doorbell cameras in the vicinity. Authorities say he changed his appearance and stole a car and a rifle. The search has brought back dark memories of another escape in the same area—that of Norman Johnston, a serial murderer who escaped from prison in Pennsylvania 1999. Local journalist and former Fayetteville Observer reporter Rebecca Logan joins us with the latest developments from Pennsylvania.
