I for one believe he's more then likely dead...
I'm not into conspiracies with this or anything but something I do find interesting is not once yesterday did they identify the man in the cabin as Dorner... not ONCE. From him shooting the 2 cops yesterday to being chased on foot into the cabin to the snipers and binoculars the police had not *ONCE* was the man inside identified as Dorner.
I mean really? Not even a slight description? All the technology in the world & you can't tell if the person you're shooting at is black, white, skinny, tall, hair, bald... nothing? They just kept referring to him as "suspect" believed to be Dorner. They could've identified him as a black man or matching the description but not once did they do it.
I know a few cats will be like "well they didn't want to make a mistake" but they seemed to jump the gun a lot yesterday on everything except whether this man they chased into the cabin was Dorner let alone fit the description...
I just find that a little crazy...
