The Coast Guard is suspending a search of a sailboat off the coast of California after a series of distress signals. The man who radioed The Coast Guard stated that there were a couple and two children on board. The search has costed a few hundreds of thousands of dollars. The possibility of a hoax is being brought into question. The Coast Guard has claimed that they receive many hoax calls and they take it very seriously. In 2011 they had 54 probably hoaxes out of 7,247 mayday cases. On Sunday afternoon, they received another distress signal from the same source that stated "This is the Charm Blow, we are abandoning ship." The Coast Guard has looked into several data bases and still can not find any boat with that name. The search area for the boat is about the size of West Virginia. 

Christopher Dorner, a former Los-Angeles police officer is accused of three murders and is currently in hiding. Christopher Dorner posted an 11,000 word facebook rant about the apparent corruption in the police department and other agencies. He believed he was cheated out of the police force. an investigation is also ongoing about the details of Dorner's discharge from the police force. For the time being, Dorner has declared "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare." He has sworn revenge on his old colleagues who are now being placed under protection. A massive manhunt for Dorner failed when they found his torched truck. The LAPD has had controversial incidents as a result in this manhunt, accidentally shooting at civilians suspected to be Dorner. LAPD shot at two different trucks that was thought to be Dorner's, injuring a 71 year old woman and her daughter and another man in the other truck. Due to the incidents and the failed manhunt, authorities in California has offered a one-million dollar reward bounty for Christopher Dorner, thought to be one of the largest in California state history. Antonio Villaraigosa, Mayor of Los-Angeles, has warned the public that he should not be engaged because he is most likely armed and extremely dangerous.
