Shifting gears now and Fox News alert on a massive manhunt for a fugitive ex police officer turned suspected murderer.
And cop killer for nearly a full day now.
Police locking down a mountain resort outside of LA where yesterday they found Chris -- -- burned out truck.
Right now weather conditions are getting worse is more than a hundred police officers.
Are going door to door roadblocks are in place local schools and businesses are closed again today but police say.
They may be the target is corners rambling manifesto online says he's out for revenge against law enforcement.
He.
Essentially it.
Communicated his sense that.
People with -- -- -- -- of grievance.
Per game and so where their families.
And so were any other police officers on -- off duty.
Rod Wheeler is a former DC homicide detective.
He's a Fox News contributor and Rodham so -- talk to you about this story which has so many people troubled.
Not only out in California but across the country and I've heard you say many times that when you're looking for someone that first 24 hour window.
Is very important we're about to slip out of that now what does that tell us.
Well that tells us that this guy has been very evasive -- up to this point now there's no information that just came out I'm not sure if you heard but the FBI they actually served -- search -- yesterday.
At this -- residence which is located not far from the Las Vegas Strip.
And you know it's really interesting is that they they didn't find this guy there obviously but they did take out several boxes.
According to witnesses that was there.
Of information possible evidence would be very interesting to learn what the FBI -- backed out at his residence in Las Vegas -- you know with the military with the police training that this guy has he's a lot smarter than your typical fugitive.
This is true yet that's right I mean this guy has been a law enforcement for -- -- time he'd been in military.
Look let me tell you this guy is an expert shot he's an expert -- he has a lot of artillery you know the guy hit rate reached a boiling point.
And as a result of that the guy just decided to just -- bizarre and so I think that's why he's doing what he's doing.
But he's very dangerous I mean this -- is extremely dangerous as we all know and that's why they have to find this guy hopefully sometime today -- Talk to us about the truck that was found that this.
Ski resort big bear mountain.
It was burned out some people say look what they've been pushed off to some kind of a clip there there is some of the videotape -- William -- -- that's was reporting for us a little while ago said that a lot of people in law enforcement feel that this was some sort of a diversionary tactic.
Are on the part of the suspect what do you think.
Well it's possible it cut it they -- been a diversion Tom although I honestly believe rape that that guy -- Chris is still up in that area that big bear mountain area.
Because here's the thing I mean there hasn't been any new reports of vehicles stolen in that area recently that's the first thing that the police -- expecting.
They're also checking to find out whether or not anybody had been carjacked in that area.
That hasn't happened and then they're trying to find out if he had any other vehicle that he rented recently.
Maybe -- -- park in that area burned up this truck dumped into the other vehicle and took off they're searching all of those kind of things now but I honestly think that guys on but.
Somewhere up in the big bear mountains probably hiding out -- one of those homes up there.
-- this is a guy who felt that he was wrongly fired from the police force.
He had been fighting that for years and it -- under.
All all of his appeals should someone have known that this was someone who could have snapped as a result of the grievance should there have been a red flag on this guy.
Absolutely Rick I mean there's always warning signs you know you and I have talked about these kinds of cases for years.
There's always warning signs leading up to this and let me just share this with you and the viewers -- clearly understand.
Mr.
-- concerns and his grievance says you know understanding how police departments operate the intricacies of the police departments but the thing is you can't take that.
That their feelings that you have ended to resort to violence you can't do that and I think.
That's what he did he felt like he was that a point of no return his back was up against the walking and that's why he's doing what he's doing now -- great insight from Rod Wheeler has always rod thanks so much.
Sure thank you --
