For the last 14 days, Deisy Tapia was wary when going out at night. She asked people to walk her to her car. If no one was around, she’d call a friend for company over the phone. Every door and window in her apartment was locked, especially the ones that face nearby woods, where a murderer may have been lurking.

“It was nerve-wracking,” she said. “I had a lot of anxiety.”

For Tapia, 30, and her family, that fear and apprehension finally ended Wednesday morning with the arrest of Danelo Cavalcante, who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison and was the target of a massive two-week long manhunt throughout rural areas in the southeastern part of the state.
