There have been multiple false reports of sightings of Christopher Jordan Dorner, a Navy reservist fired by the LAPD who is believed to be armed with assault weapons, since the most recent killing early Thursday in the city of Riverside.

"We've been attempting to identify the owner of that vehicle," Miller said. "I have not been informed there have been identifying marks located on that vehicle. As I stated it was badly burned . . .

"Those are San Bernardino County sheriff's department SWAT officers, and we have as a precautionary reason, you know that the mountain areas are very remote, so we have deployed additional personnel up into the mountain areas because of their remoteness. . . .

"It's my understanding it was found on one of the forest roads in the area of Club View,"  Miller Said. "I believe it is close to Snow Summit."

Club View Drive is south of Big Bear Boulevard, also known as State Route 18, and west of Big Bear City, on the south side of Big Bear Lake.
