It’s been over a month police say Eric Frein opened fire on two Pennsylvania State Troopers, killing Cpl Bryon Dickson and injuring Trooper Alex Douglass. Since that deadly ambush, an intense manhunt for Frein has been underway in the Poconos.
DNA results released Monday determined that blood found on two different porches in Barrett Township on Thursday is NOT from Eric Frein.
Meanwhile, on Monday a lot of police activity was reported in new search areas. Officers in camouflage, State Police and helicopters have been reported near the Swiftwater Post Office. Extra security has also been in place around nearby Pocono Mountain East High School in Monroe County.

State Troopers say a woman reported seeing a man near Pocono Mountain East High School on Friday night.
He was only about 20 feet away from her and was carrying a rifle with his face covered in mud.
Officials say there is a good chance that man was in fact Frein; not only was he spotted by his former high school but he also briefly worked nearby so he’s familiar with that area.
