State police searching for a man accused of killing a state trooper said on Tuesday they found two pipe bombs in the Pennsylvania woods during their manhunt.

Lt Col George Bivens said the bombs were fully functional but not deployed. He says they could have been set off by either a trip wire or fuse, but appear to be among items that were hastily discarded.

Eric Frein, 31, has been on the run since 12 September, accused of killing one state trooper and wounding a second outside their barracks.

1. They're calling this guy the 'Diaper Sniper'

Apparently he left a trail of dirty diapers throughout the woods. He even phoned his mom.

Eric Frein Manhunt: 'Diaper Sniper' Reportedly Phoned Parents

The prime suspect in a deadly shooting that left one Pennsylvania state trooper dead and another seriously wounded, reportedly placed a call to his parents' house after authorities launched a massive manhunt for his capture.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Eric Frein turned on his cell phone six days after he allegedly ambushed Pennsylvania state troopers Alex Douglass and Bryon Dickson during a shift change outside the Blooming Grove barracks. Dickson was killed in the attack. Douglass, who was seriously wounded, remains hospitalized.

Bivens said Frein, a 31-year-old marksman and self-taught survivalist, has been spotted in the woods several times. The suspect, Bivens added, has left a trail of empty cigarette packs and dirty diapers throughout the woods. The latter of the two has eared Frein the moniker "Diaper Sniper' and the creation of hashtag #DiaperSniper on Twitter.

9. Great (Bullshit) reporting...

To set off a pipe bomb with a tripwire would require a detonator-usually of the military type and not readily available. A fuse of course would need him to be waiting in the woods with a lit match ala Wily Coyote until men armed with scoped rifles walked within distance of his throwing arm...

11. Oh...

Well I stand completely refuted.
