An enlarged photo of Eric Matthew Frein, suspect in the shooting and killing of a state troopper and wounding of another, is displayed.
As law enforcement officials, army personnel, friends and family gathered to pay their respects at fallen Pennsylvania State Trooper Corporal Bryon Dickson funeral Thursday, the manhunt for his killer has intensified as authorities vow to deliver justice.
According to reports, Dickson was gunned down alongside another officer at Blooming Grove barracks Friday of last week by a man named Eric Frien.

A few hours following Dickson's funeral, authorities put Frein on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted list and announced a $100,000 reward for any viable information that could lead to his arrest.
With the price on his head, the 31-year-old 'police hater' has been described by reports as 'extremely dangerous,' resulting in heavy police activity in the rural Pennsylvania community.
According to reports, Frein is a self-taught survivalist who often talked about committing mass murder.
Authorities described him to have a wide Mohawk, shaving his head prior to the incident to mentally prepare for the "cowardly act."
Meanwhile, the demised 38-year-old corporal was remembered by his family, friends, and colleagues as "no ordinary trooper" and commemorated for his unsullied service record and devotion to his work and family.
As a "steadfast soldier of the law," Dickson frequently put more time than necessary into his work and took immense pride in what he did.
During his eulogy, Corporal Derek Felsman, one of Dickson's closest friends, even recalled a comical incident when they decided to have dinner at a romantic Italian restaurant filled with couples on Valentine's Day last year.
"At first, he couldn't believe we were actually getting a bite to eat surrounded in an atmosphere of mushiness and romance. He quickly overcame those thoughts, and then jokingly asked me to sit on the same side of the booth as him," Felsman recalled.
