Captured

Eric Matthew Frein (born May 3, 1983) is a captured American fugitive, suspected in the 2014 Pennsylvania State Police barracks attack that led to the death of Corporal Bryon K. Dickson II, a trooper with the Pennsylvania State Police; and the injury of Trooper Alex Douglass, another state trooper in Pike County, Pennsylvania, on September 12, 2014. Frein is the 503rd person added to the Ten Most Wanted List of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Frein was captured on the night of October 30, 2014 at an abandoned airport.

Eric Matthew Frein was born on May 3, 1983, in New Jersey. At Pocono Mountain High School in Pennsylvania, he was often a top scorer on his school's rifle team. He was described by police as a "self-taught survivalist" with a grudge against law enforcement personnel. An early report citing friends who said that Frein was an Eagle Scout was repudiated by the CEO of the Boy Scouts of America Minsi Trails Council, where Frein had worked.
