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.

The latest update this morning was they have not had a sighting of him in three days. This menace will ruin the tourist season in that area. I read the overtime on this case is not at the tax payers expense. I'm sure if you had a killer in your backyard you would want the police presence I know I would.

The tale of Danny Horning is also instructive in this situation:

I see the situation regarding this Frien fellow hasn't improved much and now people are involved in verbal sniping matches and ad hominem attacks.

Now more on the subject if anyone has read Tom Browns book “The Way of The scout” there is a chapter where he is hired to run down a fugitive in the wilderness that LE has built up to be a some sort of Rambo superman that required enormous resources.

What he found was that the fugitive was just a better camper/outdoorsman than average but nothing special. All he did was go after him alone and track him and harry him to ground. Once the fugitive was so debilitated from having his supplies stolen, his weapon broken and his water purification compromised he was easily taken in.

This sounds very similar to this except LE has blood on their mind in this case. Those that suggested using small units of trackers, I believe are on the right track to bring Frein in.
