Though authorities have yet to identify the human remains in a burned out cabin Wednesday following the manhunt in California's San Bernardino Mountains for ex-LAPD cop Christopher Dorner, they did report finding a wallet with Dorner's California driver's license in the charred rubble.

USA Today reported:

• Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Andrew Smith said it was "highly likely" that Dorner had been inside when authorities heard a single gunshot and saw the cabin burning in Seven Oaks, a small community in the San Bernardino Mountains, about 90 miles east of Los Angeles.
• But Smith said that until Dorner's body is positively identified "or he's in shackles," the LAPD is continuing under "tactical alert ... as if he's still out there." Police will continue to protect dozens of officers and others threatened in Dorner's online manifesto.

Dorner, 33, was charged with one murder last week of a Riverside police officer and was the lead suspect in the murders of an Irvine couple found shot in their car.

According to the manifesto Dorner had posted on his Facebook page, he had detailed plans to seek revenge on authorities and police after his police badge was taken away from him in 2008.

Neon Tommy reported that the search for Dorner in Big Bear started on Feb. 6. He was found Tuesday afternoon after police received a call that a vehicle had been stolen by a suspect matching Dorner's description. A shootout followed and Dorner was believed to have been cornered in a cabin in Mentone, Calif., just south of Big Bear. According to Neon Tommy, authorities then shot tear gas into the cabin which began burning shortly afterward. One sheriff's deputy died during the shootout and was another injured.

While Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said he was relieved the manhunt seemed to be over, according to the L.A. Times, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said that "he would not consider the manhunt over until the body was identified as Dorner." Police have remained on tactical alert Wednesday until the human remains in the burned cabin are DNA tested.
