Eric Frein Caught and Charged

The 31-year-old survivalist from Pennsylvania, Eric Frein, was captured on October 30th when he was found near a small run-down airport in the Eastern area.

A huge operation that lasted seven weeks, and during this manhunt there was said that thousands of armed officers were searching for Frein. After they detained the "most wanted man", police had found an abundance of various food supplies, clothing, and weapons with ammunition; a laptop, first-aid supplies, shave kits, DVDs, contact lenses and a copy of his New Testament that he wrote for his parents. This was obvious evidence that he was a well-equipped to survive weeks-months in the wilderness. Frein told the police he used a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, which allowed him to access wireless connections and use the internet.

Frein was charged with first-degree murder, and terrorism-related charges. He told the police in his confession how he wanted to "wake the people up", and make a change in the government, "it is far from what is should be."  

Frein allegedly, when he was found, did not put up a fight. He surrendered, let the officers' hand-cuff him, then was placed in the backseat of the slain trooper's car. Then he was escorted back to the barracks where had made the ambush on the officer. There he waits for the prosecutors to finalize their decision on the death penalty.
