The man accused of killing a Pennsylvania state trooper has been spotted several times, sometimes wearing a dark hood, at various times of day. But he keeps far enough away that his trackers believe he may be intentionally showing his face only to taunt or play games with them.

“In some ways, I almost think that some of this is a game to him,” said State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens, who has been leading the investigation.

Lt. Col. Bivens said police have kicked bears out of their caves and enlisted locksmiths to break into cabins and houses during the search. Officials will also run DNA tests on the soiled diapers that they believe Mr. Frein left behind in the woods.

“We're testing certain items to determine whether he’s used them,” Lt. Col. Bivens added. He did not elaborate on what those items were.

"You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Fein was the best."

The police manhunt grew from nearly 200 officers by September 17[16] to 400 officers by September 22[18] to nearly 1000 on September 24.[19] Officers included police, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.[18] Equipment included more than 40 police vehicles,[20] armored BearCats,[17] at least four helicopters with thermal imaging equipment, and a 13,000-pound, $245,000 Ring Power armored siege vehicle dubbed "The Rook" described as "six tons of pure responsive force", equipped with an armored platform that can be elevated up to 11 feet to deploy snipers, featuring "bat wing doors", gun ports with sighting windows made of bulletproof glass, and capable of fitting equipment for breaching fortified structures.[15] The FBI displayed Frein's image and the number of a state police hotline (866-326-7256) using hundreds of digital billboards in Pennsylvania and five other states that are controlled by Outdoor Advertising Association of America.[20][21][22]
