Mollie Halpern: The FBI adds alleged cop killer Eric Matthew Frein to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week. Frein is wanted for shooting a Pennsylvania state trooper to death and injuring another earlier this month.

Joseph Campbell: Our joint investigation shows that Eric Matthew Frein deliberately attacked the Pennsylvania State Police.

Halpern: That was Joseph Campbell, the assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division, who says the Bureau is working closely on this case with the Pennsylvania State Police and its other law enforcement partners.

Campbell: We’re adding him to the list in order to generate publicity regarding his egregious crimes.

Halpern: An up to $100,000 reward is being offered for information directly leading to Frien’s arrest.

Campbell: We believe that Frein is armed and that he is dangerous.

Halpern: If you have any information about Frein, call your local FBI office. Frein is the 503rd fugitive on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
