Suspect In Deadly Trooper Ambush, Gives Away Location, Police Say

Authorities searching for accused cop killer Eric Frein in Pennsylvania got a big break when the suspect slipped-up and used his cellphone to contact his parents.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the Sept. 18 call lasted only seconds, but that was long enough for investigators to draw a bead on his whereabouts.

As a result of that call the manhunt for Frein was narrowed to a five-square mile perimeter in Monroe and Pike counties, the paper said Friday citing sources with knowledge of the investigation.
