POCONO TOWNSHIP -- The old Birchwood Resort where Frein was captured Thursday night is near Tannersville, and while there was an airport at that old resort, the arrest caused some confusion at a different airport near Mount Pocono in Monroe County.
There's been so much buzz about that airport hangar right around where U.S. Marshals found Eric Frein, but the word airport caused some confusion. Instead of going to the old hangar at the Birchwood resort near Tannersville, some police officers rushed to the Pocono Mountain Municipal Airport near Mount Pocono.
Aerial video taken with the help of Hi Tech Helicopters shows the actual airport hangar near Tannersville where Frein actually was found. This hangar is located at the former Birchwood resort.
New images Friday morning show police activity as investigators continued to collect evidence to make sure they didn't miss anything last night.
Because of the confusion over airports, a number of officers ended up at the Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport by accident Thursday night. One pilot we talked with said he was just finishing his workday when things got a little chaotic.
"No guns drawn thankfully. We were worried like maybe but we didn't know what was going on. They wanted to get into hangars and stuff and we said there was nothing going on here," said Brett Kita, pilot with Moyer Aviation at Pocono Mountain Municipal Airport.
Staff at the Pocono Mountain Municipal Airport say they were surprised when all the cops showed up because they were already law enforcement people there who have been using the airport's facilities during the seven-week search.
The staff got a lot of calls from national media but as we reported, Frein was actually captured near the old airport hangar at the Birchwood resort about 10 miles away.
Frein was brought before a judge Friday morning to be formally charged with murder.
