CA - Christopher Dorner kills 4 in tri-county rampage, Feb 2013 - #3

[Seajay]

Yeh, they seem pretty adamant about anyone who helped him being in big trouble.

 

[SCHMAE]

WTH,,, yeah I just watched that too.
So these unconfirmed reports are pretty detailed.
The one about dental records I was wondering how they had
dental records handy at the site of a burning cabin up in the woods.
What is the truth here, guys ?

 

[danzn16]

NBC trying to save their butt and sticking with their "high profile source". still saying they have found the body and working on dental records at the scene

 

[danzn16]

He said in his manifesto ANY officers that got in his way would be killed.
He never claimed it would only be LAPD.

oh okay. i didn't read his entire manifesto. Thanks for the info

You are watching the same network I am. LOL They were covering their butts and making excuses and justifying them jumping the gun. "We never said it was LAPD".

I realize it doesn't make it any better that he only killed cops/cops family members.

But it is psychologically interesting that he did so.

If he had just killed those ladies at that cabin, he may have escaped again. But he didn't do that.
I wish we could know what was going through his head.

It sounds to me like he truly believed that the cops were the problem.
Maybe he really just wasn't willing to take out people who had nothing to do with the cops, even if letting them live got him captured.

I'm not trying to defend him, I'm trying to understand him. That's why I follow these cases.
To try and understand, to try and prevent these things from happening. :twocents:

 

[shadowraiths]

I can't believe all these reporters blabbering.
:furious:

I can. As I said earlier, they should reassign them to report on... monkeys fighting at a zoo, or something.

I'm thinking along the lines of Robin Hood...even some killers have standards.
^i^

 

[SpriteGal]

So do they suspect him to have at least been in the cabin? Did they mention any chance of him not being there? I am sure he was in there, but still no confirmation still leaves that .1 percent chance that somehow he got away.

 

[wfgodot]

Via tweet, KNBC, quoting NBC News, said their source was "within the [L.A.] mayor's office." (Not LAPD.) Another source - for the Riverside Press Enterprise - was Riverside's police chief, speaking to its city council. The chief subsequently backtracked, said he didn't know if it was Dorner.

 

[panthera]

Praying for the Sheriff's deputy at the hospital tonight........

raying:

........and by tomorrow that this case will have some resolution, either by recovering Dorner's remains from the cabin or if by some chance he is still alive, his arrest.



:seeya: Good night!

Riverside PD could be the source.

I have tweets in tabs from more than an hour ago sourcing "Dorner is dead" to Riverside PD and the Riverside mayor.

The Press-Enterprise has pulled a story sourcing "Dorner is dead" to RPD.

RPD Chief now being quoted as "cannot confirm."

Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz: #Dorner was in the cabin and is dead.

"They (LAPD) created the situation. I will harm no outside agency unless it is a deadly force/IDOL situation."

 

[SCHMAE]

Oh man, what if he had someone else's body in there? Like his friend JY ?
Ugh, surely this nightmare is over !

 

[shadowraiths]

Or a stranger.

That is one thing I considered. Esp considering the amount of ammo that was allegedly in the cabin, with no mention of him lugging it with him from the crashed truck. Alas, my Occam's Razor side says, highly unlikely.

 

[LinasK]

LinasK and others were right as far as him still being up there. I really thought he had made off the mountain. I gave him more credit than he deserved.

I've spent two summer trips and two winter trips there in the last two years, so I'm familiar with the terrain, in fact Highway 38 is how we went. So between that knowledge of the area, my Big Bear maps and the reports from the scanner thread, my gut told me he hadn't left.

 

[jandkmom]

The spokesperson sounds irritated everytime they ask a question...not a good trait for public relations

 

[LinasK]

Thanks, I'm in Florida so anything below 50 is freezing to me. Lol

And to see snow and never lived there, I get the shivers just looking at it!

Actually, what Herding Cats is referring to is daytime temps when it's 60 degrees during the day and you can go Springtime Skiing. You do warm up. But I've also been there in 0 degree weather and it was 9 degrees in the daytime, so it does get "cold-cold".
People think there is no snow in California, there is, you just have to travel to the mountains for it. Big Bear is L.A.'s mini-version of Lake Tahoe.

 

[LinasK]

there is no confirmation he was killed by sniper

I think they're CYA. Who else could it be???
