Can't believe they haven't caught Frein yet.

[Pat Riot]

More than a month now, right? I wonder if he's even in the area anymore.
Just trying to start idle speculation.

1. I was just thinking about that today, that I hadn't heard any more. n/t

[Kalidurga]

2. He is probably still in the area.

And not more than 10 miles from his parents house. He may have planned what he was going to do for month's that is enough time to lay in a lot of supplies and food somewhere that will be hard to detect.

3. it took years for Eric Rudolph to be captured in NC.

[Curmudgeoness]

5. That was my thought too.

Although I am surprised that they have not found him yet, we know that it is not impossible for someone who is well prepared and well trained in survival to go a long time without being found. Especially since he knows the area so well and has the advantage of knowing what he was planning.

10. But Rudolph was NOT a "Survivalist".

For months, maybe years, the fugitive hid near a small valley of brick houses and trailers, leading a life so reclusive he was nearly invisible - though neighbors suggest it wasn't just the chipmunks stealing all that squash from their gardens......

Rudolph, painted by some as a modern Daniel Boone, apparently needed them. While evading a dogged five-year manhunt, he clung to the fringes of society in a neat ridge-top camp only 200 yards from two strip malls and the high school - and a half-mile from Murphy's blue-marble courthouse. In winter, he could likely see the town from his camp; in summer, he could have heard the roar of trucks on the Appalachian Highway.

Instead of retreating into the deep mountains or urban anonymity, he stayed in a "comfort zone" at the edge of society. Experts say that choice shows Rudolph's limits as a survivalist, but also a distaste for total isolation - and, perhaps, a need to stay close to a network of conspirators.....


But the allure of living on the outskirts of society - albeit a society he rejected - may have worn thin. Many suggest that, after five years in the woods, Rudolph got lonely and basically gave himself up. True survivalism - total severance from society - might, at any rate, have eluded a man dogged by his past. "Being a fugitive would certainly cramp your style," says Reeve

4. Halloween is gonna be a bummer this year.

[JPZenger]

6. Halloween parade cancelled. Kids will trick or treat inside a school.

The local Halloween parade (which is a big event) has been cancelled. The kids are being told to trick or treat for candy inside a public school.

Just make sure that your kid doesn't walk around on Halloween night in camouflage, while carrying a fake rifle.

7. How about those Yankees? I think they're going all the way!

[Tree-Hugger]

8. Sightings in the past few days

Schools were closed today. He is still around.

9. I am worried about this guy:

I think some wannabe hero cowboy cop is going to gun him down.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/eric-frein-lookalike-stopped-cops-20-times-manhunt/story?id=26353799

A Pennsylvania man says he's been stopped by police more than 20 times as authorities continue to search the area where he lives for accused cop killer Eric Frein.

James Tully's walk to work crosses right through the manhunt area near Canadensis, where police have been searching the woods for Frein for more than five weeks.

Once, he said he was even ambushed at gunpoint by authorities who thought he was the suspect, Tully recalled.

Tully, who works for a metal manufacturing factory, has started wearing his employer ID card around his neck and a reflective vest on his walks.

Tully says overzealous officers have held him face-down in the gravel, knee in his back, while shouting at him to identify himself. He has taken to carrying photo ID everywhere to prove he is not one of America's most wanted men.
