A convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison has been spotted at least eight times, a police official said, as a search that has been complicated by heat and high humidity stretched into its ninth day.

Lt. Col. George Bivens provided an update Thursday, telling reporters that law enforcement officers have been relentlessly searching for Danelo Cavalcante — while also battling grueling weather conditions.
