Margie Carranza and her 71-year-old mother had more than 100 rounds pumped into their blue pickup — despite the fact that it was a completely different model and color than the ex-cop on the loose. That's why they're getting four times the still controversial reward total.
The Riverside City Council in California wants to make it perfectly that when they offered $100,000 for the "arrest and conviction" of the fugitive cop-turned-killer, they meant arrest and conviction — not "burned to death in a mountain cabin."
The case of the L.A.-cop-turned-L.A.-cop-killer may have closed with his fiery death, but now authorities have to figure out who, if anyone, should get the cash reward for leading them to the once and former most wanted man in California.
Police finally and definitively identified the charred remains inside the Big Bear Mountain cabin as former cop and suspected cop killer Chris Dorner on Thursday evening. Let the martyrdom begin.
After they say they were stalked, bound, gagged, and tied up by the most wanted man in America, Jim and Karen Reynolds seem to be doing ... fine. They also have a lot of answers about the last hours of the manhunt.

There's one big question on everyone's mind today as one of the biggest manhunts in history came to a conclusion with a gunfight, a cabin blaze, and one set of charred remains on Tuesday: Are we done with the Christopher Dorner saga?
This whole thing "Don't Shoot Me" thing might be pretty funny if people weren't spotting random black guys near L.A. and ID-ing them to the cops as Dorner — and if the LAPD weren't firing on innocent people who don't even match his description.
Eleanor Clift on State of the Union stakes, Andrew Brown on the pope's resignation, Marc Thiessen on Jack Lew's offshore investments, Connie Rice on the LAPD's culture, and Fouad Ajami on drones.
The Internet erupted with some pretty shocking news yesterday: that the police were using drones to find wanted cop-killer Christopher Dorner. If true, it would be another odd turn in this massive manhunt, but despite claims to the contrary, he wouldn't be the first human target on American soil.
