Seems to me that, if this were to have happened 100+ years ago, a posse consisting of local militia types would have been formed to track him down. Now, they are bringing in all militarized law enforcement who are unfamiliar with the area. I know, I'm being an armchair critic here, but this is just an observation I had based on study of history.

It would not surprise me at all if Frein were to have already fled to Costa Rica or some place like that. This whole nonsense of the sightings is just an excuse to keep a de facto state of martial law in place.

This article, and the headline in particular, are almost celebrating Frein. The “Wilderness Ninja” outfoxed the police, like Robin Hood or some other popular figure. If he’s reading this, its only fueling his ego.

My bet is that he’s been dead almost from the beginning.

Why would they forecast their strategy to a crafty fugitive? Seems they can warn the public through means that don’t need to be on the non-stop blaring cable news cycle.

I assumed because it was a cop he shot they would really be on top of this search. It’s becoming embarrassing.

Well, familiar with the area or not, if they follow the basic protocols for a manhunt, they should be able to flush him out. That strategy doesn’t rely on the people using it to be familiar with the area, they just have to stick to the plan.

Still, I don’t see why they can’t use technology like FLIR cameras on helicopters to find him. Perhaps he planned for that and has some heat-reflective gear.

If he really did plan it for all that time I wouldn’t be surprised if he had an egress plan as well. Canada?

Its small game and archery hunting season in PA. The sighings are more than likely hunters. He is long gone.

The search is probably on for some homeless guy they can say is he.

This is a good ‘real world’ example of how one man can keep “100’S” of law enforcement people tied up in one area. just imagine what would be occurring in a SHTF or even CWII situation. There just isn’t enough LEO personnel available to handle it all.

The cop killer is making a laughing stock of the PD. It looks more like a modern day version of the “Roadrunner”! It would be interesting to see if the PD are making overtime on this case.

Mincio Donciev

Tracking The `Mountain Man’ — Expert Uses Footprints, Broken Twigs, Other Clues To Find Suspected Burglar

Donciev, 68, had eluded capture for much of the past decade, though authorities knew much about him:

He was a former policeman and convicted murderer from Bulgaria who had a criminal record here. They believe he tried to burn down the Seattle house of a former girlfriend in 1985, and then disappeared.

I’m surprised the dogs haven’t found him.

Did not Bill Ayers with the weather underground do the same thing and never spend a day in jail, hired as a college professor, write a book for the president, and freely walks the country?

The difference now is the thanks the militia would get would be the government still trying to take their weapons.

One an eluding 1000 LEO’s?
Imagine if it was FIFTY MILLION?

This is wake up call government, You DO NOT own us, WE OWN YOU.

Yes, this d-bag is a cop killer but that is not my point.
