Eric Frein, the man who eluded police in the Pocono Mountains for seven weeks after shooting dead a trooper and wounding another, today headed to court for a preliminary hearing. The 31-year-old self-taught 'survivalist' sported neatly combed hair and glasses as he arrived at a Pike County courthouse in Milford, Pennsylvania in handcuffs around 8am on Monday. It came in stark difference to his appearance following his capture after a lengthy manhunt last year, when he sported a bloodied nose, bruised forehead, straggly hair and a mustache. At his hearing on Monday, surveillance footage was played of the moment he allegedly shot dead Corporal Bryon Dickson and injured Trooper Alex Douglass outside their barracks on September 12.
