The husband and wife who say they surprised Christopher Dorner in their home, hours before he was killed in a dramatic standoff, described their terror as he bound their hands and feet. Jim and Karen Reynolds say they came to the home just before noon on Tuesday to find the fugitive had been staying in an upstairs room.
Mrs Reynolds said that Dorner seemed 'calm and methodical' when he approached them, but her first instinct when she saw him was to run away - and Dorner chased after her.
She tried to run up the stairs but was quickly caught by Dorner, who dragged her away.
Mr Reynolds said that after first trying to keep them calm, Dorner tied up their hands and feet with zip ties before stuffing washcloths in their mouths.
He then covered their faces with pillowcases and wrapped electrical cords around their heads.
'I really thought it could be the end,' she told reporters on Wednesday night.
The Reynolds said that despite early reports, it was them - and not their housekeepers - who had encountered Dorner in the home.
They said that he tried to keep them calm and told them repeatedly that he was not going to kill them. Mr Reynolds, who has been married to Karen for 36 years, added: 'He said he just wanted to clear his name.'
Mrs Reynolds added: 'He said he needed transportation out of big bear. He continued to say to us quite frequently he would not kill us and just asked us to do what he asked.
'He knelt down beside me and said "you're going to be quiet, right?"'

Clearing the Fred unit worked. And they say tech support is worthless! (Well, it only is where I work since they outsourced it to India. Why India??? It’s the most difficult accent to understand in the world.)
Sorry that was proved incorrect, call came from Oregon not SoCal. has been reported on local stations.
When I was in Nam, the Navy M-14 issue was without the selector. Only designated individuals were authorized the SAW - squad automatic weapon (auto selector switch/rod) in the M14E2 configuration. In ‘65 the preferred SAW weapon was the M-60 because the M-14 was susceptible to jamming when it over heated.
Okay, that I had not heard.
