EXCLUSIVE: Poconos cop killer taunts police as he's spotted AGAIN before fleeing into remote
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 28, 2014 | Martin Gould

Fugitive gunman Eric Frein has again evaded the massive police dragnet that has now been hunting him for 16 days as he ran into woods after being spotted in the Pocono Mountains.

Frein, 31, wanted for murdering one state trooper and critically injuring another, managed to flee, although MailOnline understands they have a jacket that he left behind.

Frein, who is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List, was seen just outside the perimeter of the five-square-mile search area that up to 1,000 cops are manning at any one time.

The sighting led to a huge shift southwards as heavily armed cops were forced to rethink their tactics in their frustrating task of finding the expert woodsman...

Wow. Good thing the government has its own money to fund manhunts like this...

"...the perimeter of the five-square-mile search area that up to 1,000 cops are manning at any one time..."

So, anywhere between a quarter of a million to three quarters of a million a day in taxpayer money to get this insolent peasant murderer, eh?

Fascinating.

PSP has been doing its share of taunting, too.

The Lt. Col. has repeatedly called him a “coward” in news conferences and late last week said that the Troopers had found “used diapers”.

For a dragnet, there are certainly lots of state troopers concentrated in one area. Kids got five days off school over the last two weeks. If dogs can’t catch his scent, it’d be better to use pigs, which have a better sense of smell.

I'm speculating that the 'used diapers' bit ticked him off, as it may have been planned to do, and so he rubbed their noses in the ground once again.

He’s leading them into a prepared kill zone.

But that might offend a Muslim somewhere. So you know we can’t do that.

Uhhh - - - aren’t there some 1,000 of them already on site?

The best way to go is to start placing networked game cameras on all the trails around there. The newer cameras are pretty amazing and work really well for the ability to immediately ID the object caught by the camera.

Good thing. We wouldn't want a repeat of the Christopher Dorner incidents, and have the Pennsylvania pretend military mistake a school bus full of kids for a single guy in Serbian military garb on foot in the woods...

Every now and then, it occurs to me that it would not take too high a percentage of folks that had nothing left to lose to completely overload the machine. Just an idle thought, certainly not advocating anything, but just a thought.

Didn't think of the economics of it. Better to let this scumbag go free. /s

Farm boys all over Pennsylvania are taking note. The uLEO's are out of their element in the boonies.

Head for the hills!

I don’t approve of what this guy did. He deserves to be brought to justice.

However... his ability as a lone wolf to evade, and to some degree humiliate, a HUGE (1000:1) dragnet focused on hunting him down is quite interesting to me.

Maybe we 100 million gun owners armed with over a BILLION guns — many of us rural, and many of us with similar skills — DO actually stand a chance against a tyrannical fedgov.

Should it come down to that. I pray it doesn’t, but if it should...

Drones, networked game cameras, tracking by cell phone and vehicle.

The Police State net is closing on the patriots of the United States.

And I'm not talking about Eric Frein.

I always hate when the media, law enforcement, politicians, etc, used the canned and phony, “his cowardly acts” when talking about any type of extremist. they are either nutcases or sane who just believe strongly in a cause. but they are anything but cowards.

The very same thought has run through my mind more than once. Just saying.

Remember that other Eric? Eric Robert Rudolph, perpetrator of the Atlanta Olympics bombing, among other crimes?

He disappeared into North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest for some five and half years. The feds mounted massive man hunts, and the FBI offered a $1m reward. He was finally caught by a rookie cop while raiding a dumpster behind a grocery store.
