San Bernadino County Sheriffs confirmed in a Friday morning news conference that cabins are being scoured in the snowy mountains surrounding Big Bear, where Dorner, a former LAPD officer with military training, has a cabin of his own.
Police earlier found Dorner's burned-out pickup truck and tracks leading away from the vehicle off a wooded road near Big Bear. Authorities say Dorner's alleged wave of violence was retribution for having been fired in 2008 after making false statements.
Dorner said he would stop the killing when the LAPD publicly proclaimed his innocence and restored his reputation. "The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse," Dorner wrote in a document that he called his "Manifesto."
He continued: "I know I will be vilified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."
Police departments throughout the sprawling Los Angeles area continue to help try and capture Dorner, who is said to be armed with assault rifles and multiple other weapons.
Dorner's alleged victims are said to be two Riverside, Calif., police officers, ages 35 and 27, who were parked in their squad car. The elder officer, an 11-year-veteran of the force, was killed, and his partner seriously wounded. In addiiton, Monica Quan and her fiancé, Keith Lawrence, were found shot to death in their car Sunday night, according to Irvine Police Chief David L. Maggard.
