MANHUNT FOR KILLER SUCCESSFUL
K-9 Officer credited with take-down.
"Law enforcement’s big break came overnight as a plane fitted with a thermal imaging camera picked up Danelo Souza Cavalcante’s heat signal, allowing tactical teams on the ground to secure the area, surround him and move in with search dogs.
“They were able to move in very quietly. They had the element of surprise,” Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a news conference. “Cavalcante did not realize he was surrounded until that had occurred.”
Cavalcante — still armed with the rifle he stole from a homeowner’s garage — tried to escape by crawling through thick underbrush. But a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer released a search dog that subdued him, [as he] continued to resist as he was taken into custody after 8 a.m."
