Starts right now. La laura . You know, ive been to graceland. I have not, actually. First of all, tennessee, lovely area, memphis. And graceland, they had a whole car thing. Im not that into cars. But i did taste whatever Peanut Butter sandwich thing he had. It wasnt for me. It wasnt for me. Thats not where i thought this was going. It came back to food is where it came back to. Thats actually very wholesome, and i love it. Well, good. This is a family show and a family hour, abby phillip. Thank you so much. Nice to see you. You too. Have a good show, laura. Well, good evening, everyone. Im laura coates. Welcome to cnn tonight. Breaking news. We are six days into the manhattan, and a community is on high alert tonight as the search expands now for that escaped murderer in pennsylvania. Danelo cavalcante, who was sentenced to life without parole for stabbing his girlfriend to death in front of her two young children. Hes been now caught on Security Cameras at longwood gardens, a popular tourist spot with many Hiking Trails through the woods, including, by the way, one that loops around the very prison he broke out of thursday morning. The d. A. Has also now released video from a Home Security camera from over this past weekend. Law enforcement is now warning residents again tonight keep your doors locked. Keep your cars locked. At least one nearby School District will be closed for the second day in a row as police are hunting for the extremely dangerous fugitive who, well, hes got absolutely nothing to lose. Also, a chilling near miss. What happened when one resident woke up in the middle of the night. The sound of someone, he thinks it was cavalcante, someone down stairs in his own home. Now police are urging anyone who has information to call their tip line at 1877wanted 2, or 9268332. Plus, tomorrows news tonight, to get you ahead of the game, there is a major hearing in that sprawling Georgia Election subversion case, and now were just a few hours away. And it could tell us a lot about whether all 19 of these, will they be tried together . And if so, when might that happen . And did i mention the hearings are expected to be televised. Remember, its state court, after all. Well tell you what to watch out for in the hearing tomorrow. Weve also got some Breaking News tonight. A late court filing from none other than special counsel jack smith. He is accusing former President Trump of what he calls are daily statements that threaten to prejudice the jury in the federal election subversion case right out of washington, d. C. And he was convict to have had brutal murders of his own wife and son a few months ago. You may remember alex murdaugh. He is now demanding a brandnew trial amid accusations of jury tampering, and by a Court Official no less. The big question tonight, what happens now. I want to bring in our Breaking News tonight with the urgent manhunt for a crooked murderer danelo cavalcante, escaped from a Pennsylvania Prison just six days ago. Joining me now is robert clark, a supervisory deputy of the u. S. Marshals services. Im so glad that youre here tonight, robert. Look, this is day six. Youve been following this case all along. And the big question of course people are asking is how did it happen in the first place. But now how has he been able to evade capture, you think, over six days . Hey, good evening, laura. Thank you for having me this evening. Its an interesting question. How has he been able to evade capture for six days. You have to remember when he scaped into the woods, it was large area. It was a mile and a half to twomile radius that we were searching. And we kept getting tip after tip and sending people into woods that are very thick. The foliage is very thick over here. There is a lot of ravines, a lot of tall fields, a lot of grass, a lot of Hiding Spaces for a guy that is 5 foot, 120 pounds. For the first five days we focused our search area, specifically in a certain seconds up here. And we got a break last night that cavalcante was caught on a camera, on a trail camera, just south of where we were searching. So today we brought in more resources, and we focused our Search Efforts in a different area in hopes that perhaps we can flush him out in this new search grid. This is a dangerous game of tactical hideandseek. And it takes time. It takes time. The searches are nothing new to the Pennsylvania State police, to the u. S. Marshall service, but they take time. A very important point, and the word danger pops out for so many people. Because youre talking about somebody who has already been sentenced. He is not accused of the crime. He has been convicted of it. He is not awaiting sentencing. He has been sentenced now to life without patrole. That might translate to people exponentially more dangerous now. He has nothing to lose. The alternative if he is captured is a life behind bars. Expanding that perimeter and trying to search for him, how does that factor in to his calculus of what he might be willing to do if he is found by your team . Well, were taking no chances with mr. Cavalcante. Everybodys been warned of his criminal history. Were treating him as armed and dangerous, even though nothing suggests that he is presently armed due to his criminal history, due to the violent nature of his crime, and due to the fact that he also has an open homicide warrant in brazil. Not only does he have the homicide here and the conviction, he also has an open homicide in brazil. This is a dangerous, dangerous man. Hes got nothing to lose. But i can tell you this, his desperateness will not outlast the resolve of our Law Enforcement officers here. We have now a couple hundred officers up here. The Pennsylvania State police have incident command. Theyre doing a fabulous job controlling the boots on the ground. The Marshall Service has our investigators here, some of the best in the country. And were going prove once again why were the best at finding people that dont want to be found. So what happens when you find him . Do you have orders in terms of how to bring him in . Or is there a directive to bring him in regardless of his state . Well, when we find him, were going bring him in and make sure that he goes to a secure facility. I dont want to reveal where he is going to go. But hes going to be brought in and placed in a secured facility where he is not going to be able to break out again. I can assure you that. So the suggestion is he is not going back to where he already broke out of . He may be processed there, laura. Im not sure. But ultimately, were going to find the most secure facility around here for him, whether thats the same facility or perhaps another state facility. Im not in decisionmaking for that. Im more involved in the investigation. That decision is going to be left up to somebody else, the dolphins, and perhaps the county detectives here. I understand. One of the phrases ive been hearing a lot, the goal is in the strategy with all the resources to quote, unquote try to stress cavalcante. What does that strategy look like . Try to stress it . I know youve already had i think audio of his own mother, speaking in portuguese, trying to lure him in essentially to the custody of the officers searching for him. But what is that stress test of sorts look for in the strategy of how to get him . So the idea of stressing him came from Colonel Bevins of the state police who has incident command, and i fully agree with his decision. We plan to stress him. He we plan to move him. We plan to have him make mistakes, which he has already made now. He has appeared on camera two times. By stressing, we mean were going get boots in the woods. Were going let him know were there. Were going leave no rock unturned. Were going to check every little hiding spot. Should we miss him, were going to go back in the next day and try to keep him moving. One of the tactics we did use, like you mentioned earlier, we slitted a statement from his mother. And she said essentially we love you. Do the right thing. Turn yourself in. We dont want to see you get hurt. And that was broadcast to him over a loudspeaker from the Pennsylvania StatePolice Helicopter and some of our patrol cars. So were trying to use some of that psychology, maybe, that if he is tired and he is desperate, and he is thinking about maybe this will put him Over The Edge so we can get a peaceful surrender. Robert clark, thank you so much. Well follow along. Thank you for having me, laura, appreciate it. I want to bring in chief Law Enforcement analyst john miller, and former fbi Deputy Director andrew mccabe. You both heard the conversation now, the idea of stressing him, trying to basically circle the wagons, so to speak, and try to use even psychological tactics to try to get him to peacefully surrender. That phrase, of course, sticks in my craw because this is a man who has already been sentenced life without the possibility of patrol i believe. John, when you hear about these mistakes that are being alluded to, i think five credible sightings, one man thinks he was actually in his home late friday. Listen to what that man had to say. I woke up my wife. I said hey, i think there might be somebody downstairs. You know, get on the phone. What i decided to do was flip the light switch on and off three or four or fife times, pause, and then he flipped the light switch from downstairs three or four times, which was the moment of like oh my god, this guy is down there. John, what does that Interaction Signal to you . You know, thats a new one for me, laura. The idea of communicating in morse code through your light switches with a burglar. But i think essentially, the homeowner flashed the lights to say is someone there . And he flashed the lights back to say yeah, and stay out of my way. He is a desperate man. He is looking for clothing, food. He may be looking for cell phone or a tool. But more urgently, he may be looking for a weapon. Whether thats a knife, the weapon he used in his last two homicides, or whether its a gun. He is in an area that kind of securities between rural area woodlands, farmlands, and suburban tracks of houses. So if you look at the sightings theyve had, a lot of these have been at night, where he has been kind of tracking the edges between woodlands and backyards, where he is looking for that opportunity to get in somewhere, get some food, get some clothes, maybe get some cash, whatever he can. You know, for some reason im thinking that light flashing scene, wasnt that in what we call parasite . Wasnt there a scene i dont want to do a spoiler alert, there was a scene where the person who was living in the home, wasnt supposed to be was using a light morse code. Forgive me, im thinking about the movies, which the guy who the basement. Right, right. It reads a lot like whats happening. This doesnt seem real. But in fact andrew mccabe, it is real. He has been quite brazen, it seems. He has been spotted. He is not exactly hiding behind cover of darkness. Although a lot of the Camera Footage weve seen, he has been in the darkness. Does it surprise you that he is being so brazen while he is on the run . Not at all. Not at all. So that that interaction between the homeowner and who we believe is the subject were looking for, i mean, that is the moment that weve all been kind of afraid of, right. When this desperate man, this desperate murderer, who has no ability to communicate. Hes got no transportation, very little food, just the clothes on his back, no shelter, he is forced to break into a house to steal the things he needs, and he confronts a homeowner. That is the moment when this situation could turn incredibly violent. And he is certainly somebody who has exhibited a propensity to go in that direction. So i think were all incredibly lucky, and certainly that homeowner and his family is that it didnt go that way. But that could happen at any moment in any one of these days that this search continues. It seems that he is moving at night and probably laying low during the day, which would be the smart way to do it. But he has got to keep repeating this activity of trying to supply himself with sustenance and some level of shelter. It is a very wooded area with large homes on large pieces of property surrounded by woodlands and manicured lawns and things like that. So there is plenty of places for him to hide. The such fact that he was able to get beyond their announced perimeter into kind of the next section south of that area tells you that his sense of movement has not been impeded yet. I think theyre doing the right thing and flooding the area with personnel to try to kind of pen in him in, but so far that has been unsuccessful. I mean, the schools are closing in the area. This is somebody who committed a homicide, a brutal one in front of children and with a lack of sleep, the stress factors that might be at play here, the danger could grow exponentially. John, there are about 200 to 250 personnel on the ground who are now searching for him. As theyre talking about closing that perimeter, and he was just south of one, theyre talking about the psychology that theyre trying to use now, including his own mothers voice over audio thats being broadcast in the areas they believe him to be in, hoping that might lead to a peaceful surrender. What do you make of the psychology now involved in trying to get him to surrender . I think the psychology is they know that at some point he is going to run out of gas. He is going to run out of the ability to stay awake, the ability to go with little food. And they want to make sure he does run out of gas by the message they keep sending him, which it will just be easier to surrender peacefully. Listen to us, if not us, listen to your mother. And remember who is doing this, laura. Rob clark, the guy you were just talking to. Is not just a deputy u. S. Marshall. He is the head of the philadelphia Regional Fugitive Task force. This is what he does for a living. He and his team are manhunters. Theyre extraordinarily expert in this field. Youve got George Bivens from the state police, who he mentioned. George was the guy behind the hunt for durham, who escaped in july from the Warren County jail. More notably, he was key in the 48day, 12 million hunt for eric frein. A trooper was tragically killed. This team, they know how to do this. Its taking longer than they would like, but a day is longer than they wanted. So i have a lot of confidence that they are going to get this done in the relative soon. John miller, andrew mccabe, thank you. It may just be a matter of time. Thank you both. Weve got some Breaking News tonight on another of the criminal cases against former president donald trump. This one is in d. C. Right here.

Judge scott mcafee saying that today the hearing tomorrow he will address scheduling for the trial in the Georgia Election subversion case. Its all happening tomorrow. The question whether or not the case should be broken up. Remember, there are 19 defendant, after all. Joining me to discuss all this and what it could mean for the trial, National Security attorney bradley moss and jamil jaffer, former associate white House Counsel to one president george w. Bush, everyone. Glad you guys are here. This has package on my brain all day. Over a month at this point in time. 19 defendants. All at once, she intended to try them together, within six month, fani willis said. Many lawyers chuckled, not because it wasnt possible to do so, but just thinking about the logistics here. This is a time when we dont even know if mark meadows is a part of the entire thing yet. Is it practical to think this could be a trial with 19 people in a courtroom, not broken up . I think its very unlikely at this point. Not just because of mark meadows. Youve also got jeff clark. You have speedy Trial Requests from ken chesebro and Sidney Powell. Any number of fights that donald trump is going to bring. Youve got Rudy Giulianis likely challenges over information. This is going to be a logistical mess. Will be interesting to see tomorrow is one of the things the judge asked fani willis to be prepared for, if you were to do all 19, how much time would you realistically need . Its not happening in october for all 19. There is no way this will be happening. Everyone wants it. To your point about speedy trial, it can work. The prosecutor said if it was only up to her, maybe it could, right . But its not. Its also the defendants who can say i want to go fast. And others are saying i dont
