Police said they have found evidence of alleged cop-killer Eric Frein's presence in the Pennsylvania woods - including soiled diapers and Serbian cigarettes. 'We believe he's in that area,' State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a Wednesday news conference. He said officers hunting Frein have spotted the fugitive from a distance and that local residents have reported seeing a figure dressed in black. Police have pursued Frein, but because of the rough terrain, 'he has had the ability to disappear,' Bivens said.
Frein, 31, a military-reenactment buff, is accused of gunning down Cpl. Bryon Dickson and wounding Trooper Alex Douglass during the Sept. 12 ambush on the Blooming Grove barracks. Investigators have said Frein has a vendetta against the state police but have provided few others details. 'We believe that Frein has prepared or planned extensively for months, or even years,' Bivens said.
