we get a report tonight from nbc's ron allen. >> reporter: a very stark example today of how daunting this manhunt is. a huge tactical team scoured the massive buckhill inn, one of the largest resorts in the poconos. 900,000 square feet, 9,600 acres, abandoned some 20 years ago and now haunted by ghosts, according to local legend. police say they had information frein has spent some time at the site, but no sign of him. police have found evidence on a computer hard drive that frein planned his escape for years, researching topics such as how to avoid man hunts, police technology, survival skills. they also believe he experimented with explosives and may have set up booby-traps in the woods where he's been hiding for two weeks. >> you've not said you're closing in. do you believe you are? >> i believe we're close. i believe he's in the area. and i believe it's a matter of time before we apprehend him. >> reporter: police say they're still finding clues, items hidden or discarded by frein. but there hasn't been a possible sighting in almost three days. they're convinced he's still in th

nbc's ron allen has more on this latest case tonight from omaha. >> reporter: this isolation unit where dr. rick sacra fights for his life tonight is so unique, it's never been fully activated until now. it was created in 2006 because of concerns about bioterrorism after september 11th. with special air and sterilization systems, secure access, 35 staff on four-hour shifts it's the largest unit of its kind in the country. >> we have respiratory therapists, nurses, technicians, they all basically volunteer for this role. >> reporter: today, doctors say sacra remains in stable condition after arriving in omaha from liberia yesterday. >> are you optimistic about recovery at this point? >> we're going to very aggressively support this patient and hope for the best. >> reporter: sacra attracted ebola while working for fim. both brantly and sacra have spoken. sacra just returned as the epidemic spread. >> he is not someone that can stand back when there is a need he can take care of. >> reporter: now doctors here expect to treat sacra for perhaps several weeks, the usual time it takes ebola.

ron allen is live in blooming grove, pennsylvania. >> reporter: jenna, a terrifying night. a massive police operation. the man hunt zeroing in on a neighborhood where they thought the suspect eric matthew frein might be holed up. helicopters overhead. roads blocked off. hundreds of residents told to shelter in place. frein is on the fbi top ten most wanted list. the search has extendsed beyond this area to five other states. there is so much uncertainty. whether he is near or far from here by now. of course, this is a dangerous operation for law enforcement trying to track this man in the woods who is a survivalist. this is day eight as the search continues. jenna. >> ron allen, thank you. >>> new allegations of a growing wildfire in oregon. 30 homes were given evacuation notices and in gasden, 35 people are out of their homes. four homes have burned to the ground. 37-year-old wayne allen huntsman pleaded not guilty of setting the king fire. >>> in the skies, the russian fighter jets. american f-22s scrambled to get to war planes flying within 65 miles of u.s. air space on

ron allen is still with us.gs we saw in ferguson was the difference between the way that white people and black people viewed the situation on the ground. and i think what's interesting about that piece is it doesn't matter where you are around the country, whether you're in ferguson or martha's vine yard, right, the african-american community sees the issues in ferguson in part as racial issues. >> yeah. and there's a lot of focus on it because every time the issue of race comes onto the national agenda, it's a very sensitive and emotional issue. it's hard for some people to talk about. people at all ends of the economic spectrum are vigilant about how it's being discussed. it plays out differently in the streets of ferguson and plays out differently in martha's vineyard, for example. one of the women mentioned, i think in '90s, i think, a large number of black youths were partying on a beach. it was broken up by police. they wonder how race plays out in the media or elsewhere. >> whether you're in ferguson or

about three dozen under way now. >> ron allen, you've been on the ground. you've just interviewed the mayor and police chief. let me play a little bit of their response to this anticipated investigation. >> if that's what they are going to look at and that's what they are looking at, policies, procedures and practices, i'm confident we've been making strides over the past several years to improve that and i hope the department of justice will recognize that. >> we've done an excellent job policing this community. and we continue to police the community every day. we answer calls and respond to the citizens. >> ron, is that the reality that you've been covering there on the streets of ferguson? >> not necessarily, andrea. when we were here last week and the week before covering the michael brown incident, there were countless people who came forward with stories about being harassed by the police. young african-american men being stopped for no apparent reason. they claim excessive force. there's just seems to be a real disconnect between the heart of the ur

ron allen has the very latest. >> today, fbi units looking ready for combat backed up state police on the hunt for eric frein, who they believe covered as many as 20 miles so far through thick brush, caves, mountains. an ak-47-style weapon, ammunition possibly used in the fatal ambush that killed one trooper and wounded another. >> i'm confident he'll be apprehended. >> you say you're pushing him hard. how do you know that? >> i know the sweeps and things we're doing, there's no doubt we're pushing him hard. >> today, check points still in place within a few square miles of a suspect's own house. >> things are still pretty tense here in the neighborhood where the frein family lives. the house that the family lives in is just down this road about 25 yards or so, and there are more troopers down there. >> police say there have been several possible sightings. while a two-day shelter in place order has been lifted, a killer still in hiding. it's hard to feel safe. ron allen, nbc news, bluming grove, pennsylvania. >>> investigators are looking right now into the death of a rutgers univers

ron allen is live in mount pocono, pennsylvania. >> reporter: good more than, lester. the shelter in place order for thousands of people has been lifted. this is still an evolving situation that's very dangerous and bizarre. police pulled back from the massive targeted service for eric frein without revealing any new information about where they think he is. or whether they even have a clue. at the edge of a community under siege, residents faced another night in the dark unable to get home. what are you going to do tonight? >> see what it's like. we will come up with a game plan and do something. >> reporter: for two days and nights, a policeman hunt ordered a lockdown for thousands as police zeroed in on an area they thought frein might be. the order was lifted but with an ominous warning. the pennsylvania state police are very concerned for the safety of the community, a statement said, they do not have train -- they don't have frein in custody. >> when someone like this say fugitive, they stay in an area that they know. there's nothing so far in the investigation t

nbc's ron allen joins us now from pennsylvania. i'm told that kids are supposed to stay inside still. what's the latest on this search? >> well, the search is confined to this one area. it's been that way now for most of the past 17 days. this is day 17 of all this. it's about a five-square area around frein's home. it shifts a little bit. but five square miles in these woods is an incredibly dense and rugged area. the area we're in now is relatively calm or easy compared to what we've seen out there and what the searchers are encountering. there are caves. there are mountains. there are swamps. there are countless places to hide. remember, frein is an experienced outdoorsman who was very involved in military re-enactments and he spent a lot of time in the woods. he's believed to be well armed. it's a very dangerous search. why the police and federal agents are proceeding very carefully, very cautiously. he did, in fact, already kill one trooper and perhaps -- and wounded another one very seriously. they're leery of the fact he may

right now we're joined by ron allen covering developments in ferguson.o give us an update. ron, an emotional meeting we just heard a piece of there in ferguson. how much of a theme has that is concern about poverty and some of the underlying issues in this community been in your conversations in ferguson? >> well, this incident brought out a lot of stuff bubbling under the surface for a long time. and you heard it in the council meeting. we heard it on the streets. it's poverty, it's race. it's class. it's it's culture. the people who live in the area where mike brown was killed lead a different life than the rest of ferguson and the rest of st. louis and the rest of the country. the unemployment rates are high. the prospects are bad. the school systems are bad. so people feel just a complete disconnect with the rest of nerg ferguson. so when this happened to michael brown, whatever the facts are, people saw it as not something that they were surprised by and something that was a symbol and a symptom of much deeper problems. >> what are you hearing about

ron allen spoke with james knowles and police chief ron jackson a short time ago. >> bottom too manye, in terms of the civil rights investigation, does that concern you? do you think that's warranted? >> well, an investigation is just looking into the facts and so i'm open to anyone looking into the facts and examining whether or not there's been an issue here. am i concerned? i am absolutely interested in knowing -- wanting to know the truth of what's been going on. >> i take no personal offense to it at all. in the end, the justice department is going to try to improve the quality of policing nationwide and that's their job. part of their job. so i welcome that. anything

bishop ron allen and mason tubbard. good morning, guys.oesn't marijuana have a reputation of getting folks off the couch and turning them into goal-oriented, driven individuals? >> well, marijuana makes you, number one, lethargic. it kills your motivation, for sure. i will certainly tell you underserved and poor and low income of berkeley do not deserve to be a part of berkeley ci city's sinister and reckless plot to keep these individuals high and in poverty. kills motivation. it affects judgment. these individuals will never get out of poverty with this plan from berkeley city council. >> what do you think? mason, on the other hand, you say that there is a real need for this and berkeley residents deserve to be treated just like everybody else. >> ultimately, the voters in california decided to make medical marijuana legal. it's something that 85% of americans think should be legal and available according to the last fox news poll. it's something medical societies around the country think is an effective treatment for all sorts of condit
