Did survivalist cop killer deliberately target trooper because he thought officer was having affair with his brother's wife?

Alleged copkiller Eric Frein knew of one of the state troopers who was shot in a shift-change ambush — and he may have believed the trooper was having an affair with his own sister-in-law, MailOnline can reveal exclusively.

Alex Douglass, who was critically injured after being hit in the pelvis, lives less than half a mile from the family of Frein's brother and was friends with the fugitive's sister-in-law Melissa.

Police say they have ruled out the possibility of an affair after 'extensive interviews' with Mrs. Frein, the wife of Michael Frein, which are understood to have included a polygraph test.

'We have investigated the rumor of the affair thoroughly after we learned about it', Pennsylvania Sate police spokesman Trooper Tom Kelly told MailOnline. 'There is no truth to the affair.

well I'm fairly sure something more led up to this. he didn't just randomly pick this kop. if so he could have found easier targets. as always there's more to the story.

7:16-True,but the agenda at hand will impede any and all efforts to vilify the suspect.

OF COURSE there was no affair.
they could NEVER admit that one of their high-integrity brothers could be messing around with someone's wife.
Cops NEVER do that.
They also never sell drugs, murder people, protect criminals from prosecution, rob people, rape handcuffed women, shoot little kids, and steal from the evidence room.
An affair? I can't believe it.
their integrity level is much too high for THAT.
Ok. I made that last part up.....

If true, it is very much relevant.

If the guy thought it was true, then it WAS true, if only to him.
