I think he's playig with them, he knows he'll probably wind up DEAD

Police brought in a bulldozer to help them get through the rugged mountain terrain in their search for Eric Frein, the man who allegedly shot and killed a Pennsylvania State Trooper and critically injured another officer. NBC10's Doug Shimell is live in Price Township, Pa. with more on the manhunt.    
    Authorities have called Eric Frein a self-taught survivalist with a vendetta against law enforcement
   Eric Frein obsessively collected military memorabilia, dismissed his fellow war re-enactors as dilettantes, and took his hobby so seriously that he spoke French during a simulated Vietnam War-era interrogation, according to a filmmaker who interviewed the man now suspected of ambushing a Pennsylvania State Police barracks.
    Frein appears in an upcoming documentary about Vietnam re-enactors called "Vietnam Appreciation Day,'' identifying himself by name and saying that re-enactments are "about teaching the public and showing the equipment that was used, talking about the history of it all."
     In it, Frein talks about the difficult terrain where a re-enactment took place - the same area where authorities believe he is now hiding.   MORE OF STORY
