BLOOMING GROVE TOWNSHIP -- State police believe they are getting closer and closer to finding suspected cop killer Eric Frein after several sightings and what was discovered in the woods.
Authorities announced that beside several possible sightings of Eric Frein, they have also found Serbian cigarettes and soiled diapers they believe Frein has left behind.
Eric Frein is wanted in the ambush of two state troopers earlier this month outside the state police barracks in Pike County.
At a 3 p.m. news conference, troopers revealed evidence they've uncovered throughout this 12-day manhunt for Eric Frein.
That trail of evidence and multiple sightings of Frein have led them to zone in on Barrett and Price Townships in Monroe County.
Troopers believe that's where Frein still is on the run.
State police revealed a trail of evidence found allegedly left behind by Frein.
"Some of those items include Serbian cigarettes and soiled diapers that we have found in the area among many other things," said Lt. Col. George Bivens.
Troopers showed photos of those cigarette packs along with photos of Frein's jeep that was found in a retention pond near the Blooming Grove barracks.
Troopers also confirmed that law enforcement officials have actually spotted Frein.
"Law enforcement officers have reported, as well as members of the public have reported sightings," Lt. Col. George Bivens said.
But Frein remains on the run.
Throughout the past 12 days troopers have established a perimeter around about a five square mile area near Cresco and Canadensis where Frein has been sighted.
To date, law enforcement haven't found any bunkers, but say shelters have been uncovered and they're looking into whether or not they were built by Frein.
Barrett Township officials have been helping support the about 1,000 law enforcement officers who now are canvasing the woods around the clock and say it's something they'll continue to do, no matter the cost.
"When we do the budget for the township, we don't plan for a disaster every year. There's not a disaster line in the budget, but we make it work," said Barrett Township supervisor Ralph Megliola.
Residents are being asked to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity, including any vacant homes that appear disturbed or any information that could bring this manhunt to an end.
And although terrain continues to create challenges for search helicopters and ground crews troopers remind Frein that it's time to end this search.
"It's time to surrender. We will be here until we apprehend him," Lt. Col. Bivens added.
