LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Ten years ago this week, we witnessed the largest manhunt in Southern California history.
Former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner was heavily armed and seeking revenge for losing his job. Dorner murdered four people before taking his own life during a fiery standoff in the San Bernardino Mountains.
In the beginning, it was a mystery: A double murder in Irvine - the victims were Keith Lawrence and his fiance Monica Quan. Irvine police had no leads.
But two days later, there was a break in the case: LAPD equipment found in a dumpster in National City, along with a notebook with the names Dorner and Evans written inside.
Detectives called LAPD but were told no one by the name of Dorner currently worked there, but there was an Evans - Sgt. Teresa Evans, who did remember a Dorner working there years ago. He had been fired.
She described an astonishing theory in which Dorner might have been trying to seek revenge against Randy Quan, who he blamed as the reason for him being fired. Quan's daughter was one of the Irvine murder victims.
Then an online manifesto was discovered in which Dorner listed several people with LAPD who he wanted revenge against.
ABC7 retraced Dorner's deadly trail in a special documentary, "True Crime: The Manhunt for Christopher Dorner." Don't miss the special on ABC7 or wherever you stream.

I remember this one.
This is the one where a member of I believe the LAPD used a known incendiary device, known to cause fires, to supposedly “smoke out” this guy from the San Bernardino cabin he was in.
It’s not like the guy was going to escape.
This stunk to high-heaven as, at least to me, it looked like an execution without the benefit of a trial.
All they had to do was wait the guy out or bring in a negotiator as they already had the guy surrounded.
color me shocked that abc is going to remind people of this one.
Let’s not mention the innocent people the cops tried to kill during their hunt for Dorner.
And let’s not mention the police audio stating they wanted to “burn him out” when they had him cornered.
Really makes you wonder who the bad guys were.
I had no problem with what San Bernardino County Sheriff's Dept did in that case...
Chris Dorner could have come out with his hands up...He chose not to do...
Dorner was not a great guy...I am not sorry that he is dead...Not really...
Dozens of rounds and neither was hit or at least not severely.
Another photo showing a White guy, sitting in a sedan, hands up with one cop with a pistol pointed at him, screaming and another cop pointing an AR at his head.
They couldn't figure out that none of these people matched the description of a large black man with a shaved head.

No wonder the police have the mindset they do.
They’ll be abusing their power and killing innocent people for many more decades.
Chris Dorner is the bad guy in this case...He murdered 4 people...2 law enforcement officers...Daughter of his lawyer...Her boyfriend...
This YouTuber located Dorner’s route and locations during his crime spree.

I like everything you said and even the way you said it.
How many chances should a person get to surrender while they are on a crime spree?
I know about the notion of “innocent until proven guilty”. But there is the fact that people have to be guilty to be proven guilty.
Don’t go pointing a gun at someone unless you are ready to shoot to kill.
They also shot up a man in a Honda SUV.
That’s no excuse for the cops trying to kill people WHO WERE NOT CHRISTOPHER DORNER.
What people lose sight of is, this x cop was targeting cops. That changes everything...
Yeah, great picture of the blue pickup the stupid LA cops shot up. Duh, "silver/blue", whatever, Open fire!! Not that I trusted cops before.
I remember that case well - he was on the loose in the LA area over the weekend before the standoff, which happened on a Monday.
On that Sunday, we took our dogs up in the hills on a popular hiking/bridle trail that is normally full of hikers/walkers and horseback riders. We walked about four miles and didn’t see a soul on that Sunday...
“I am sure some of you remember.” To the max. The anxiety was very high. Every law enforcement officer was nervous. Thus, mistakes were made. It was a very nerve-wracking time.
I’m with you - I have family in Irvine and this was a Big Deal (I also live in the area).
He killed four innocent people - and was on the loose for days terrorizing the Los Angeles area before the final standoff.
He saved us taxpayers a lengthy trial and appeals - and years of housing him in prison since the death penalty has been declared null and void by the latest Governor.
He got the justice he deserved. If that were one of my family members I’d certainly think so.
IIRC, those two women got a very hefty settlement after suing the SBPD.
Thank you...My opinion is that Mr. Chris Dorner had no intention of surrendering...He wanted to die in the cabin after killing many officers as possible...
By the way, I never heard of a lawsuit filed by the family of Chris Dorner...Wrongful death lawsuit...For burning down Dorner's cabin...
