ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
The survivalist suspected of killing a Pennsylvania state trooper in a sniper attack in September was brought to a Pennsylvania court on Friday (October 31) after his capture the night before, follwing a 7-week-long massive manhunt.
Eric Matthew Frein, 31, could face the death penalty for an alleged sniper ambush outside a state police barracks in Blooming Grove that killed Corporal Bryon Dickson, 38, and wounded Trooper Alex Douglass, 31.
Frein's capture, about 35 miles south of where the ambush occurred, may finally shed light on the mysteries that have surrounded the brazen crime against law enforcement officers, and how the suspect was able to stay one step ahead of authorities for 48 days.
