In addition, ^ the newly clean-shaven and be-speckled "survivalist" now faces terrorism charges because his crimes were committed "with the purpose of influencing the policy of government." A letter Frein wrote to his parents, found on a computer hard drive after his Oct. 30 capture at an abandoned airplane hangar in the Pocono Mountains, formed some basis for these new charges.
Frein, described as having a vendetta against law enforcement, was identified as a suspect shortly after the shootings when a passer-by found his vehicle partially submerged in a small pond near the state police station and was captured 48 days later.
Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty if Frein is convicted.
