Trooper ambush suspect Eric Frein taken in handcuffs of murdered officer



Prosecutors vowed to seek the death penalty for Eric Frein, the suspected cop killer nabbed Thursday night in rural Pennsylvania after a seven-week manhunt that ended with the self-styled survivalist shackled in the handcuffs of his alleged victim.

The search ended Thursday night when U.S. Marshals arrested Frein in an airport hangar near Buck Hill. 

Frein was slapped with the handcuffs of the Pennsylvania state trooper he allegedly shot and killed, making it a fitting end to the 48-day manhunt. Cpl. Bryon Dickson was 38-years-old when Frein allegedly opened fire outside the Blooming Grove state police barracks on Sept. 12.
