The sister of the suspected Pennsylvania sniper who killed two state troopers is questioning how her brother got facial injuries before his arrest.

Tiffany Frein, sister to suspected survivalist and gunman Eric Frein, suggested in an interview on Monday that the police's claim that Frein received a bloodied nose and a mark across his brow from running through dense foliage in the Pennsylvania woods is untrue.

"I think we all know for a fact he didn't get it in the woods," Tiffany Frein told Reuters in a recent interview. "That's an obvious thing."

According to Reuters, police maintain that they did nothing "inappropriate" when arresting Frein last Thursday. Frein was reportedly captured only 30 miles from where he allegedly shot Cpl. Bryon Dickson and Trooper Alex Douglass back in September.

The suspect was reportedly hiding near an abandoned airplane hangar, and police say he was frail and meek and surrendered to police while unarmed, although he had two weapons hidden in the plane hangar.

As far as if she thinks her brother is guilty, Tiffany Frein told Reuters: "I don't know what to think." When asked what the rest of the family thought, Tiffany replied: "We don't really talk much."

When Frein was arrested Thursday evening, Sam Rabadi, chief of the Philadelphia office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said in a statement that Frein had been "stripped of his guns, his bombs, and now his freedom."
