Hundreds of law enforcement officers are scouring southern Maine for the suspect, Robert R. Card Jr., a 40-year-old Army reservist.
The first 36 hours of the manhunt underscored the challenges of finding a fugitive in thickly wooded terrain.
An outdoorsman who has spent years in the military, Mr. Card knows guns and knows the region.
Maine is vast and sparsely populated, with about 1.3 million residents spread across more than 30,000 square miles of forest.
The state is dotted with campgrounds that by this time of year are no longer filled with summer tourists.
