Officials Discuss How They’ll Distribute $1M Reward In Dorner Case
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Now that tests have proven Christopher Dorner perished in the Big Bear gunfight Tuesday, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says he plans on distributing the $1-million reward for information leading to the murder suspect’s capture.
The mayor and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck issued the following statement Thursday:
“Now that the search for Christopher Dorner appears to have concluded, we are addressing the issue of the $1 million reward. More than 20 jurisdictions and entities are involved in this reward, so all of them will be coming together to collectively determine whether any individual or individuals qualify for it. Our personal hope is that the reward will be distributed, but we must follow the rules and respect the procedures of each entity.”
The resort town of Big Bear had been the focus of a manhunt for Dorner since Feb. 7, when authorities discovered the former Navy reservist’s burned-out Nissan Titan near Big Bear Lake. Weapons, survival gear and a gas mask were among the charred items recovered from the vehicle.
