Two days after a deadly shootout with police ended in a devastating mountain cabin blaze, the body of Christopher Dorner was officially identified Thursday.

The charred remains of the 33-year-old fugitive former LAPD cop who was linked to four killings, including two police officers, was found in the Big Bear, Calif., cabin and was formally ID'd by dental records, reported the Los Angeles Times.

The announcement from San Bernardino County sheriffs officials brought an end to the biggest manhunt in California history that had the LAPD on tactical alert for 10 days, and many officers and staff who had been named in Dorner's 11,000 word manifesto fearing for their lives.

Of the 50 or so families assigned protective details because of his rambling Facebook posting, about a dozen were still under watch Wednesday anxiously awaiting the news of the forensic identification.

“We have some individuals who are still in great fear,” said LAPD Lt. Andy Neiman, who went on to reveal that the investigation into Dorner’s alleged acts would continue until investigators “make sure that we have covered every base."
