Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police said that authorities are concerned that the inmate may attempt to steal another vehicle in a desperate attempt to remove himself further from the search radius.

Additionally, Bivens said that there is no longer a defined search area and that all tips coming in were being thoroughly investigated. The police officer said that authorities would rather go through "100 tips" than miss one crucial piece of information that could lead to Cavalcante's capture.

"Without information to the contrary, yes, I believe he is still in Chester County," Bivens said at Monday's press event. "But, with that said, we will always consider other options."

Bivens additionally noted that state police were authorized to use deadly force if Cavalcante was not actively surrendering, though other agencies may have different rules.

Bivens vowed that his agency would "aggressively continue" their efforts with the help of federal, state, county and local resources.

"This is a minor setback," the state police official said. "We'll get him, it's a matter of time."
