That report was on the latest press conference from the LAPD, who was quoting the San Bernardino Sheriff's office. I guess I will not believe there is a body until there is official word from San Bernardino.

they don't have roads blocked off, or hundreds of officers around the cabin to prevent him from escaping, so their behavior tends to indicate they know he's not going anywhere.

But who knows? How mysterious.

Navy. So there's bound to be extensive dental records on him easily accessed. They probably take extra dental xrays of military personnel just for the purposes of identification.

Apparently, the basement of the cabin is still too hot to sift through.

I'm sure he's there though, sure of it. As sure as knowing that every pair of size 11 shoes is going to fit me perfectly... lol.

in a short while

LAPD press conference was adamant that no one had entered the still smoldering cabin and no body had been recovered

also said it could take days or weeks to positively ID a charred body from a fire scene

That what Cindy Bachman, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Dept. just said on TV. "The investigators have not been inside because it is to dangerous..... The report earlier that a body had been found is unconfirmed. "

...the officers near the cabin told him they found a body so he doesn't know why the news conference said otherwise. He was probably the one that started the false statement.
