BARRETT TOWNSHIP -- It`s now the third week of the search for suspected cop killer Eric Matthew Frein.

"They keep saying they have him cornered so I hope they get him," said Denise Soehngen of East Stroudsburg.

State police have shifted their search along Route 390 in the Mountainhome area of Monroe County.

"I`m hoping that this change means he`s actually going to be found," said Darlene Fylstra of Barrett Township.

Law enforcement searched an area near the closed Barrett Township Elementary School, vacant buildings, and an old resort in the area.

"I hope they find the guy because it`s been long enough. First of all, he`s got all the caves in the woods and all these holes in the woods," said Teresa Demontreux of Barrett Township.

"I`m wondering if they even know where he is because it`s been so long, you know? It`s been two and a half weeks," said Jennifer Drescher of Barrett Township.

Troopers lined up along Route 390 in Barrett Township with their eyes and weapons trained on the woods.

"God bless them. They have to be getting worn down and you know, we`re all behind them and hopefully it will end soon. We`re all behind them," said Steve Mullet of Gouldsboro.
