Since his Aug. 31 escape, 34-year-old Danelo Cavalcante had been changing his wardrobe — this included a black baseball cap and yellow or green hoodie that he was seen wearing over the weekend.
Police reported he had ditched that hoodie earlier this week and did not know what he was now wearing. But on Wednesday, as he was escorted by camouflaged law enforcement, he wore a hooded Eagles sweatshirt. It was easy to see the stained hoodie had seen better days. ... It's assumed Cavalcante stole the sweatshirt sometime during his flight from the law. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro promised during a Wednesday press conference to make whoever the victim is whole.
"Folks, whoever had their Eagles' hoodie stolen," Shapiro said. "If you could let us know, I'll do my best to get you one of those new Kelly Green ones." ... The governor was referring to the alternate jersey the Birds will wear in two home games later this season.
