Why can't police find the escaped prisoner in Philly?

[Anonymous]

I don’t think he has any intention of being caught alive. He’s just going to let the hunt play out, and force the fatal shot.

They are Keystone State cops, so…

Worse than keystone cops. None of them should be cops. How many cops does it take to find 1 man who was wandering around in a public garden for more than a week? He may have gotten tired of wandering around, and may have found a way to shave and has found a vehicle to take off in...........

They are accepting applications. I am sure your Excel and PowerPoint skills will be greatly appreciated.

Philly has nothing to do with this.

Did you see the video of his escape? Don’t get me wrong - I want him to be caught but that was an impressive escape

Op here. Totally agree.

Seriously after watching that there’s a part of me that’s rooting for him. That was awesome.

pp I can not believe you are rooting for this guy. I bet you would feel differently if it was your family member he stabbed.

Probably.

Yeah now he has people helping. I mean he's on the Ring camera at his sister's friend's house and is opening up a box. He apparently also showed up at 2 former coworkers' homes but they weren't home/didn't open the door. On Ring cam is where you can see he's shaved and looks different and is sitting there opening a box. The box is says clorox on the outside but I imagine inside is probably stuff he needs to survive, maybe a weapon etc.

He stole the van at like 7 pm yesterday - a mile away from their stupid "perimeter" and ditched it sometime this morning. So they spent all this time hunting for a van when he's probably now taken off in a different vehicle.

I mean the cops sat there with their perimeter but it seems like they never actually went IN to the garden or the woods or anywhere else to actually find him. As if he was just going to poke his head out of the perimeter at some point and be like ok I surrender. He figured out where the perimeter was, escaped in the opposite direction, stole a van from a freaking mile away and off he went.

I mean the sister's friend is supposedly "helping" the cops [though after giving him supplies - unless it's totally coincidental and they didn't open their door and just had amazon packages on the porch in which case he legit is walking around with clorox wipes - lol ??] but when they called saying hey this guy showed up on our Ring cam, they dismissed the friends for a few hours saying it was some other intruder. Only to go back a few hours later, do facial analysis and be like hmm same guy - clean shaven now . . . .

They are giving this guy HOURS of lead time on anything he wants to do. If he wants to head south, by now he's probably at least in the Carolinas if not further south in a different stolen car. Why wouldn't he just slip into a city with a homeless population and just blend in there for a bit while he figures out how to skip the country? Like are they gonna go look at every homeless person on the beach in Miami to verify it isn't him? They can't even handle someone walking around a botanical gardens for 10 days.

Any resident in PA who shoots this guy on sight should not be charged with any crime. Law enforcement is really coming up short and people are feeling scared and vulnerable.

It's bad enough to live in Phoenixville, and now you have this guy running around? Yikes.

The US wants him to serve time his time here first before extradition. Kinda a win fir the gut, though, given how notorious Brazilian jails are.

Confused; how many is a brazilian?

More than one person is saying they saw him at Wawa last night - gassing up the van. They didn't know it at the time bc he had already changed his look and those pics didn't go out until this morning. So yeah he's out and about. You'd think he would have skipped the region now in a different stolen vehicle. Given that they spent all morning looking for the van, in that time he could've gotten out in some other vehicle that is less conspicuous that a diary truck with a refrigeration unit on top. I mean I don't think this is getting national media to the point where everyone up and down the east coast would know it if they saw him. I feel like I'm only following bc I'm from that region.

Honestly PA is hunting country - i.e. first day of hunting season is a day off school/work just an hr or so east of where this is going down. When he was in the woods, they should've brought in the hunters. Those guys know how to sit in a tree all day looking for the slightest movement. I mean I'm not usually a proponent of vigilante justice but you have 400 LEO who wouldn't actually go INTO the woods/the gardens to seek him out!? Perimeters box people in but he wasn't gonna give up and stick his head out of the perimeter to turn himself in + their perimeter wasn't even tight enough to box him in since he waltzed out of there, stole a van, and drove 40 miles!?

I would think a whole mess of bloodhounds could find him quickly. They have his scent on his stuff from prison.

He was already serving life. How is he getting food? Is someone helping him?

In cases like this, the police usually put surveillance on the big three that usually tend to lend aid: family (parents, siblings, very close relatives), spouse/partner (or their last ex), and BFFs. They also visit other close contacts for information and to issue warnings. And they work their CIs on the street for intel.

But as someone with a relative in this area, this person is probably holed up in a vacant house. Many of the homes in that area are used as 2nd homes or vacation homes. My aunt's home is their 2nd home and it stays pretty well stocked throughout the year. Other family members use it and she only asks that we replace the items we use before leaving. Someone could easily exist for months in her house. Her pantry is packed with non-perishables. She also has those Costco-sized buckets of flour, sugar, grains, etc. She also has a deep freezer on her property with a bunch of meats and frozen convenience foods. My aunt has tons of cameras on her property but she's told me that other neighbors don't have any. Very surprising.

Unlikely - he got himself a van. Drove himself to Phoenixville where his sister/sister's friends live. Clearly got some help w razors, clothes, money etc. Ditched that van by morning bc he wasn't gonna drive around in a big honking delivery truck with a refrigeration unit. While the police spent all morning looking for that car, he likely jacked another car that blends in and is out of the region. Mexico is only a 30 hr drive from that part of Pa and he's already had 8+ hrs today. And IDK if this is making SUCH national media that people who spot him at a gas station in Tenn or Indiana or something will recognize him. Sure whatever car he jacked will be discovered stolen and they'll start tracking the ez pass - but I imagine he'll keep switching cars for that reason - esp if he now has a gun. Or even if he doesn't - he's brazen - cars are parked overnight at car dealerships etc with no one around.
