PRICE TOWNSHIP -- It's now been more than a month since Eric Frein allegedly shot and killed a state trooper and badly injured another in Blooming Grove.
Hundreds of state troopers have been working around the clock since that shooting, trying to track down the cop killer in the dense woods of the Poconos.
On Monday, state police have pulled back on the number of troopers searching on day 31 of the manhunt in the Poconos.
Troopers, FBI, ATF, and other agencies have been working around the clock to find Eric Frein.
About 300 state troopers per day had been searching for the cop killer. On the Columbus Day holiday, a state police spokesman told Newswatch 16 that fewer than 200 troopers were working three different shifts to track Frein. That's at least 100 fewer officers assigned to search.
Old vacant trailers and homes continue to be searched for any signs of Frein.
The owner of Alpine Mountain ski area still says he sees an active sweep of his property every single day.
"Usually in the mornings you see a parking lot filled of state troopers and then we have some at the top of the mountain as well. They make me feel safe, at least," said Alpine Mountain owner Kevin Fabiano.
Fabiano says troopers have asked him if they kept any food on site while this area is under construction. He also says there's plenty of nooks and crannies for Frein to hide on this mountain.
"There's 13 little out buildings and then there's a tremendous amount of woods that surround the trails."
State police won't say exactly how many troopers are working because they say it's a tactical disadvantage, but any troopers working today get holiday pay for the Columbus Day holiday, costing the state more money per officer to continue this search.
"They're still very active in the area, just not clustered in one spot."
Helen Blackmore lives on Snow Hill Road. Her home was searched a couple of weeks ago. She welcomes the police presence even after a grueling 31-day manhunt.
"No, never thought it. I mean, I realize how hard it is for people to be found up here. The woods are very dense. My own kids could hide out there for a month and they wouldn't find them," Blackmore said.
CNN is reporting that a second camp site of Frein's was discovered over the weekend, but troopers say they have no information regarding that latest possible find.
