Eric Matthew Frein, 34, was living with his parents in Lackawanna County, PA in 2014 when he shot and killed Trooper Bryon Dickson and seriously wounded Trooper Alex T. Duglass. Frein was captured, tried, convicted and sentenced to death. Trooper Dickson's widow has just filed a civil action against Frein's parents.
The widow's assertion is that the father, Eugene Frein, exerted significant influence over his son and passed along his skills, developed in the military, with explosives and small-arms. She also asserts that the parents were negligent in having several dozen firearms unsecured in the home and easily accessible to their son, who they knew had trouble separating reality from fantasy.
A similar action was filed by Trooper Douglass against both Frein and his parents. The parents have since left Monroe County, allegedly in an attempt to evade the civil action.
