(AP Photo/Nick Ut) A couple tied up and held captive in their cabin by rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner will be getting most of the $1 million reward in the case. The LAPD says a panel of three judges has decided to give 80% of the payout to Jim and Karen Reynolds, who called 911 after Dorner left and they managed to free themselves, the Los Angeles Times reports. A ski resort employee who contacted authorities after spotting Dorner's burning truck will get 15%, and a tow truck driver who reported seeing the vehicle will get the remaining 5%. Nine other claimants—including a camp ranger carjacked by Dorner—won't be getting a share. Read These Next One mystery is solved around chilling Holocaust photo.
