The search for Christopher Dorner has potentially come to an end, as a body was found burned in a California cabin. Officers are still unsure whether the remains belong to the 33-year-old ex-cop, according to The Washington Post.
Police offered a $1 million reward for information that would lead to Dorner's arrest and eventually got a few clues from neighboring residents that led authorities to the wanted man.
Dorner's wallet and license were found alongside the body, according to an investigative officer who spoke to The Associated Press. The body is in the coroner's office and remains to be identified as Dorner's. Investigation is underway on the actual cause of the fire.
Dorner began a deadly shooting spree on Feb. 3 that left a former captain's daughter and her fiance dead. Police then began a manhunt for Dorner on Feb. 6, when he tried to steal a boat to go to Mexico. When that failed, he started north and encountered two Riverside County police cars and shot and killed one of the three officers.
The trail to Dorner came to a head when two women were reportedly found tied up in a cabin on Big Bear Lake, located 30 miles from Highway 38. One of the women called police and told them the man fled with their car.
The California Fish and Wildlife Department found the stolen vehicle and indentified the 6-foot, 270-pound Dorner as the thief.
Dorner allegedly stole another pickup truck by force then fired at wardens. After returning fire, Dorner, supposedly injured, returned to the cabin where he blockaded himself and engaged in a shootout that left two San Bernardino County police officers dead.
The shootout escalated and the SWAT team was called to surround the premises and tore down the cabin walls. A single shot was heard before the entire cabin caught fire, according to officials.
