In 2002, Chief Superintendent Glenn Dumlao said that he, Mancao, and Senior Superintendent Michael Ray Aquino were the top architects and executioners of murdering Buddy Dacer. In a petition granted by the Court of Appeals (CA) in April 2002, he with Aquino, then-chief of operations of PAOCTF, and P/Sr. Supt. Teofilo Viña, chief of PAOCTF–Visayas, as well as another police officers, were charged as additional accused. [5] Mancao and Aquino escaped the country by August 2001, thus declared as officers in AWOL. [7]

[12] Lacson believes that Mancao was used by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, then-President who is criticized by Lacson. [13] [14] That is also caused for Lacson to escape abroad. [14]
But in 2011, the CA declared him unfit to serve as such, citing mistakes in his affidavits. He was subsequently removed from the Witness Protection Program. He escaped from the custody of the NBI in 2013; [15] he surrendered to the police in 2017. [16] He was acquitted later that year. [17]

In January 2014, a district court in North Carolina, United States was ordered him with former P/Supt. Aquino to pay Dacer's daughters $4.2 million in damages. The daughters used the Torture Victim Protection Act, allowing US courts to hear human rights abuse cases committed outside the said country. [18]
