A Declaration Of War

In Full



Update 11:04 a.m. est (2/10/13)

The search is still centered around Big Bear Lake where Dorner’s truck was found with a broken axle and burning on the property of a known associate. The manhunt through Big Bear has been difficult as authorities are dealing with single-digit temperatures and heavy snow.

Police have not ruled out the possibility that he has crossed state lines into Nevada but it’s more likely that he continued south and has crossed the Mexican Border as some of his personal belongings were found at the San Ysidro Point of Entry at the border.

Dorner was also spotted attempting to steal a boat at a San Diego Navy Base and he himself was a Navy Reserve Officer and would be familiar with the base.

At 270 pounds Dorner is not hard to spot yet a number of false sightings have poured in throughout the Midwest and far west regions of the country. One of the sightings resulted in the tragic shooting of two women (Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, 71-year-old Emma Hernandez), in a pick up truck matching the description of Dorner’s vehicle.



Updated 10:30 a.m. est (2/10/13)

Police are looking into Dorner’s employment record with the department and investigating his termination along with other allegations he made in an 11 page manifesto declaring war on the on the LAPD.

Dorner was fired in 2009 for allegedly lying about a case two years prior when he filed a complaint about a fellow officer. Since that time he has held a major vendetta against the department, which eventually hit a breaking point in early 2013.

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck made it clear that he wasn’t catering to the murderer’s wishes but wanted to show the public that the department is fair and transparent.





Update 5:24 p.m. (2/9/13)

California Police were targeting their hunt on the mountains: namely - Big Bear in San Bernardino as Dorner is known to be a survivalist and has contacts in the area. The intense manhunt has left the residents of Big Bear in a fear and "lock-down status" and there is ample reason to believe he’s in the area.

At the same time: leads and sightings of Dormer have come in from Last Vegas to the Mexican border but police remain convinced he’s in the Big Bear area.

The temperature in the mountains is in the teens and is being scanned via foot, helicopter and plane.

Dorner has declared war on the LAPD. At this point, there are three known officer-related deaths and two known injuries.



Update – 3:08 pm EST (2/9/13)

Dorner is heavily armed and suspected of five shootings totaling 3 killing and two injured. Two were in Riverside CA. Both victims were police sitting in a patrol car. An hour before the Riverside shootings an officer was shot at in Corona.

Dorner is also suspected of a double killing a week prior in Irvine, CA. The victims were the daughter of a retired police officer and her fiancée.

Throughout the weeks prior Dorner left many troubling social media messages. One was a 6,000 word article containing threats to specific officers on the LAPD staff. An excerpt from the article states: “There will be an element of surprise where you work, live, eat and sleep…. I have the strength and benefits of being unpredictable, unconventional, and unforgiving.”

Nine California Counties are under “blue alert.”
