Convicted murderer Danelo Souza Cavalcante has become more dangerous since his Aug. 31 escape from Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania. Officials say he has stolen a .22 caliber rifle with a scope and flashlight mounted on it after a dramatic confrontation with a homeowner.

The gun was stolen the night of Monday, Sept. 11, in a chain of events that started when a motorist in South Coventry Township noticed a man crouched down near the woods. She turned her vehicle around to get another look, but he was gone.
