Dorner Manhunt: Hundreds of Tips, No Sightings

Joint task force seeks public's help in capturing former Los Angeles cop and triple murder suspect Christopher Dorner.

Since a $1 million reward has been offered on information leading up to arrest of accused cop-killer Christopher Jordan Dorner, there are have been reports of suspect sightings throughout Southern California.

Investigators said they received 600 tips, but no credible leads, according to the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. A report that the armed fugitive was at a Lowe's store in Northridge Sunday was a case of mistaken identity. Other callers said he was in Pomona fueling at a gas station, or in Covina. Glendora Police received one tip from a caller who believed they saw Dorner since the reward was offered, but like all the other leads, it was cold.

Detectives now say there is "probable cause" that Dorner is in Mexico.
