Why Pennsylvania residents can rest easy…

The capture of an escaped killer. Yesterday, authorities said they captured 34-year-old Danelo Cavalcante after a two-week manhunt. Cavalcante — a convicted murderer serving life in prison — escaped from a Pennsylvania jail on August 31. He managed to pass undetected by crab walking up between two walls. In the two weeks that Cavalcante was on the run, he changed his appearance, broke into homes, and stole a van and a rifle. His escape grabbed the nation’s attention because of the way he broke out and how he managed to evade police for so long. Now, authorities say they were able to capture him by securing a perimeter, picking up his heat signal, and using police search dogs to find him and help arrest him. They also took some time to take a photo with him. The Chester County DA said, “Our nightmare is finally over and the good guys won.”

What’s giving us an E.T. dupe…

Mexico. Earlier this week, a self-proclaimed ufologist unveiled two alleged “non-human” corpses in front of Mexico’s Congress. The expert claimed the bodies are of deceased aliens that were found in Peru in 2017 and could be 1,000 years old. The bodies had only three fingers on each hand with elongated heads — looking a lot like Hollywood’s stereotypical aliens. The expert also reportedly said one of the bodies had been pregnant. The researcher’s claims have previously been debunked. Meanwhile, NASA has plans to share its findings on an unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) study at 10am ET today. Catch it here.

What’s feeling inflated…

Inflation. Yesterday, the Labor Dept announced consumer prices in August were up 3.7% from the same time last year. Experts said rising gas prices are to blame. This is the last big data set to be released before the Federal Reserve meets again next week.

…Oh and speaking of inflation, it’s the one thing not affecting Zara’s owner Inditex. It saw a 40% jump in half-year net profit. Those TikTok hauls seem to be doing the trick.

Who won’t be caught up in 2024…

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT). Yesterday, the 76-year-old senator announced he will not run for reelection and called for “a new generation of leaders.” It comes as more than half of the Senate is reportedly over the age of 65.
