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...

Rusticus Mus vs Urbs Mus
The romans knew this more than 2200 years ago

“Are the beards to make them look like Navy Seals?”
Or other SpecFor, probably yes.
Wait a minute - a thousand cops set up a perimeter, and he's OUTSIDE it?
Why don’t they post a 1 million dollar reward, back off and allow all of the local boys to organize and go get him? It would be far faster.
Look on the bright side - you have something in common with our Masters in CONgress & @ 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue...
Now now...
This what doesn't make sense. If why hasn't he killed anymore police if he supposedly hates them so much as reported by the media. Why not shoot more as those first driving to the scene exited their vehicles? Perfect opportunity. PA State police aren't the most professional or brightest bunch.
Exactly. He knows what he did, and he appears ready to pay the piper for the tune he called for.
At least the time he popped the NVA general that is what he had to do. 3 days!
Read his book, if you have not already done so.
It's pretty clear that he's not a danger to the "civilian" population.
I find it fascinating that no one is sharing the exact details of Frein's "general dissatifaction" with the policing element of society.
It's a telling omission.
Rent the Goodyear blimp and put 3 guys with IR scopes on board. Nighttime would work best.
Conversation this morning a question arose about military heat identification technology from low flying aircraft Is that a possibility ?
Imagine if every state was chasing one “expert survivalist”. How long before the budgets would collapse?
One guy standing and fighting half a thousand hired muscle & gunthugs, and their armored vehicles and automatic weapons proves what, exactly? That you're a SKOS (Special Kind of Stupid)?
OTOH, I can imagine a certain VP firing a couple of warning shots with his shotgun over the heads of the paramilitary gunthugs.
He also knows the cops are going to kill him the moment they find him. There will be no arrest - this is a search-and-destroy mission.
That’s a good point.
““If dogs can’t catch his scent, it’d be better to use pigs, which have a better sense of smell.”
Uhhh - - - aren’t there some 1,000 of them already on site?”
That cops = pigs thing is so 1960’s. See “hippies”, “Charles Manson”, “black panthers”....
Assuming that makes an ass out of you. It's already been noted by numerous sources that the converse is true.
We could probably reduce costs by a great deal if we could get the hired camo-muscle to cough up who REALLY started this dance. I'm sure they know.
It's not nice to not share with your fellow citizens...
It’s available for aircraft including helicopters. Trick is that with deer, bears, etc., blocking objects (boulders, trees, etc.) and a very smart prey they would have a hard time using it effectively.
As the one Freeper suggested, I wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t set up an ambush kill zone for a “final exit”. I personally wouldn’t be clomping around the woods with those clowns; however, a small team of experienced SF, Seals or Rangers would be a much better and safer bet.
