The search for a fired LAPD officer accused in a series of revenge killings resumed at daybreak on Saturday in the mountains of San Bernardino.
Deputies were expected to comb the ski resort area of Big Bear, where authorities found former LAPD Officer Christopher Dorner’s burned-out truck Thursday afternoon.

More than 100 law enforcement authorities from numerous agencies scoured an eight-square-mile area in snowy conditions on Friday using police dogs and Snowcats, snowmobiles and armored personnel carriers equipped with chains to help navigate the terrain.
The search was called off, said San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon.
Sheriff's officials said the search would continue until Dorner was located or evidence was found indicating he was no longer in the Big Bear area.
Searchers found some tracks during the initial search, but investigators determined they did not belong to Dorner.
Dorner is accused of killing three people -- including a Riverside police officer -- and wounding two since Sunday, police said.
He was allegedly acting on an online manifesto that police attribute to him threatening LAPD officers and their families as revenge for his 2008 firing from the department.
