Is Dorner Dead? Or Is This Another LAPD Fakeout?

by Monica Davis

A mountain cabin where fugitive alleged cop killer Chris was reportedly holed up, went up in flames. But  not before allegedly killing another cop in a shoot ouit.  Dorner had supposedly barricaded himself up inside the cabin, along with a massive stash of weapons and bullets. News sources say he had  been surrounded by a heavily armed team of law enforcement officers, but many questions remain–the most important of which is: was Dorner really holed up in that cabin and is he really dead? 

Christopher Dorner, who hours earlier had killed one San Bernadino sheriff’s deputy and wounded another before barricading himself in the cabin, in the San Bernadino mountains, was believed to be inside. Dorner, who vowed not to be taken alive, had been surrounded inside the cabin since early Tuesday afternoon. It was not clear who set the fire in the rural Big Bear community where Dorner apparently has been hiding since sometime last week. Read more: 

Authorities say he had been held up in a mountain cabin, along with the occupants of the cabin.  Dorner reportedly left the cabin in a pick up truck  belonging to the occupants. And here is where it gets smokey.

Dorner allegedly left the two people tied up in the cabin and escaped in a white pick up truck. One of the prisoners managed to escape and call authorities who supposedly caught Dorner in another cabin, where he exchanged fire with officers, wounding one. 

What is interesting is that this cabin blew up. Now, how did it “blow up”? Was Dorner stashing explosives or ammunition in that cabin? Again, the public must ask hard questions.

The media was allegedly posting tweets in real time, giving Dorner a source of information to use as  weapon against police. The authorities used the media in several ways: one, telling the media to stop tweeting, therefore cutting off a source of information, and two, they used the media helicopters to get realtime aerial information–as the copter became caught in a crossfire between Dorner and the police.

Authorities tell news sources that they don’t think there are any hostages inside the burning cabin and are unsure if Dorner is or actually was inside the cabin.
