Not sure about this. If he had a vacant house to stay in, he wouldn’t be out and about. He’s seen someplace almost daily - once on the side of the road but slipped into the woods when chased; at Longwood Gardens multiple times. Seems like he’s relying on Longwood Gardens for food - in addition to the actual botanical garden, they own acres of farm land which includes fruit and vegetable patches. If he were staying in a fancy home, he’d have at least some food at hand - not be showing up at the gardens at night stealing produce. Meanwhile you’ve got him swimming all day and ordering Uber eats at night 🙄. I’m surprised he hasn’t hitched a cargo train out of there. Harder now as they’re likely watching all trains but 5-8 days ago, he could’ve slipped into one of the many cargo lines that run thru there and no one was checking every carriage of some train transporting grain. |

He’s got to be hungry and thirsty. Not very smart or strategic. Didn’t have a plan beyond getting out of there. He will probably be placed in shackles and solitary once they find him.
It is pretty unbelievable that they haven’t caught him in 9 days. I understand the heat is playing a role in making it more difficult. And….. |

Now that the weather is broken I’d be surprised if they don’t find him fast. With cooler night time temps, thermal scanners should be able to detect 98 degrees from above.
Also surprising that he escaped with no plan and didn’t use his first few days to plan/leave the area by train or however. I mean going in circles in a 10 square mile radius and going back to the same places repeatedly guarantees being caught. Though the longer this takes the dumber LEO looks. |
A smallish guy who grew up in Brazil, made his way to the US and across the border, and is obviously agile and pretty strong can likely handle a lot of hardships while on the run. Far better than most escapees. |
I guarantee he’s in better shape than 90% of the cops looking for him. |
+2 And the girlfriend's family (and the kids) is scared and can't leave their house. How are some of you "sorta rooting for him"??? |
| He did the same thing in Brazil , lived in the jungle to avoid capture for murder charges |
|
Op here. Another thing that I find interesting is that unless he has access to a cell phone, or is picking up newspapers at Longwood Gardens, he has no idea all the places he's been seen on camera.
I find the whole thing pretty fascinating, not because I'm rooting for him (I'm definitely not) but because I keep thinking of what I would do if I were on the run. The short story is, I wouldn't last long! |
| The police don’t look very smart either. |
Yeah I mean there are 400+ LEO on the ground and they haven't been able to get him in 10 days?? I realize not all 400 have been there the whole time. I don't think they took it seriously enough the first few days - bc reporters would be posted places saying - well LEO appears to be pulling out/leaving for the night?? Uh pretty sure he moves at night. Why weren't they at least setting up clandestine operations at Longwood Gardens at night to see if he showed up again to grab food?! Assuming he knows how to survive in the Amazon, I wouldn't be surprised if he just spends his days sleeping in a tree to not be seen and also to conserve energy esp in the heat and then moves at night to get food and water from the many nearby creeks. |
Not really. I don't think he is out mingling, but Kennett Square is diverse due to all the mushroom farms. Kennett Square's demographics: 55% Non-Hispanic white, 34% Hispanic, and 11% Two or more races. |
| will he be deported to brazil |
Why would there be an assumption that he knows how to survive in a jungle just cause he’s from Brazil? Is there some history of this from him? |
| Sounds like he is an experienced murderer and escapee. |
