Dorner remains identified, now what about that million dollar reward?

However, as certain tragic events come to a close, such as the funeral of Riverside police officer Michael Crain, many questions linger. The public questions if police officers’ use of seven tear gas canisters, nicknamed “burners,” intentionally led to a fire that burned the cabin and Dorner. How did over 200 police officers swarm Big Bear and not find the suspect hiding just a few doors away? And, who gets the $1 million dollar reward?

It’s been twelve days since Christopher Dorner was suspected of killing Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence, and this whirlwind pursuit ended yesterday when charred remains from a burning cabin was identified as Dorner. The residents of Big Bear are entering back into their routines since LAPD lifted their tactical alert and witnesses have recounted their stories.
