Authorities in Big Bear have spotted fresh tracks believed to be those of a fugitive ex-Los Angeles police officer wanted in connection with a series of shootings and are combing the area for him, a Fire Department official told The Times.
Big Bear Lake Fire Department Asst. Chief Mark Mills also said the burning pickup discovered on a forest road has been linked to Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, sought in connection with a series of shootings that have left three people dead and two wounded.
TV helicopters showed the pickup being readied to be towed from the scene.
The truck was discovered hours into an intensive manhunt for Dorner that spanned Southern California. Although sources said there had been multiple reported sightings of Dorner's truck in the Big Bear area on Thursday, the burnt truck was too badly charred to immediately confirm it was his.
Meanwhile, the mountain community locked down schools and closed the nearby Bear Mountain Resort as a fatigue-clad SWAT team walked through the woods, rifles drawn.
Sean Jacques, director of loss prevention for Big Bear Mountain Resorts, said that after the burning truck was discovered on a forest service road, local law enforcement told resort officials to keep an eye out for Dorner and provided a description of the suspect.

Yeah, and if I recall, McGarrett takes him out from about 300 feet away with 1 well placed shot from his .38 snub nose.
>>(Dorner) says he supports gun control, Obama, and Piers Morgan.<<
No wonder some of his colleagues want to kill him.
iirc correctly, rudolph was apprehended eating out of a dumpster.
Rudolph watched the search teams leave every morning. Let’s just say they weren’t working themselves to death to find him if he was within view.
I still watch those old reruns from time to time good way to kill an hour or so
This could get long and ugly. This guy has the initiative. Cops can only respond. And they haven't done that too well, considering the collateral damage already done.

Yeah, he is. His manifesto claims Colin Powell was his inspiration to join the military.
Must. Kidnap. Abbey.
According to Mark Levin just a few minutes ago this guy has a manifesto attacking the NRA and praising the hosts on MSNBC. Anybody heard anything along these lines? The few ABC radio news blurbs I’ve heard have described him only as “anti law enforcement”.
I guess not, but that's the first thing I thought ... "This is just like a movie."
He was just discharged on Friday.
Although they could have just said at..."the ready" ...
They are idiots...nevertheless.
“Must. Kidnap. Abbey. “
Some kids at my church went to LA and work with the homeless. Paula was at the church making sandwiches. She does it every week. That girl is sold out and working for the Lord.

Levin is right.
I just don’t see him heading up in the mountains for one last stand. I think the burning car is a diversion. He wants to kill more cops that he knows, or their families. He needs to stay near the city (LA) to accomplish this. I think he might have doubled around and is back lining up his next kill. Unless he has decided to go out in a blaze of glory on a mountaintop. Will be interesting to see what his next move is. Hopefully it doesn’t involve more dead bodies, unless it’s his own.
That’s just what I was thinking. If this guy is only half competent those cops won’t make it through the night.
