Uh oh: LAPD walks back story about Dorner’s body

Not to single out AP, but this report about a charred body is based on one anonymous source: http://t.co/Sjm2hoHZ

@dankennedy_nu Odd, since AP took so long to get the info out in the first place. You’d think they were vetting it hard

Earlier tonight, Twitchy noted some L.A. media reports that a body found at the burned-out cabin in Big Bear was alleged murderer/ex-cop fugitive Christopher Dorner’s. Now, the LAPD is walking the story back.

"Body believed to be Christopher dorner" hahaha they don't even know if it's really him

LAPD 1.) no one has been in the cabin 2.) no body found 3.) behaving as if Dorner not dead 4.) anyone assisting him will be arrested

@SalenaZitoTrib I thought they confirmed Dorner was dead…

@ShawnCarterPGH LAPD said all of those reports are false. Just had presser.

The cabin is still too hot to search, reportedly:

To be clear: LAPD, citing San Bernadino Sheriff's Office, says reports of Dorner's body being found are FALSE. Cabin too hot to search.
