Listen Now: Dan Taberski’s Manifesto

Police in Irvine, California are investigating the double murder of a young couple in the parking lot of their apartment complex.

Reports of a homicide in neighboring Orange County.

27-year-old Keith Lawrence and his fiancee, 28-year-old Monica Kwan, were found shot to death in Lawrence's car late Sunday night.

Two young people, a couple recently engaged.

The guy was a public safety officer at USC, and she was an assistant basketball coach at a local university.

Murdered while parked in their white Kia Optima.

Investigators do not yet have a suspect

description

or a

motive.

And immediately, the details of the crime begin to add up to something bigger than a one-time thing.

Like, when their bodies are found by the police, the victim's necklace is still on her neck.

Her new engagement ring is still firmly on her finger.

Which means this isn't a robbery.

Also, investigators find evidence of 14 shots having been fired.

That's a lot of bullets for just two people cornered in their car.

But the number of neighbors who actually heard those 14 shots? Zero.

So maybe there was a silencer on the gun, which would mean the killer probably isn't new to this, that maybe they're a professional.

My detectives have been working day and night since this tragedy.

The Irvine police chief takes to the podium to tell the people of Southern California that they are going to have to buckle up for a ride.

Today, we have identified Christopher Dorner as a suspect in this double homicide.

Because the suspect, Christopher Dorner, is no ordinary suspect.

Dorner was an LAPD officer through 2009 and a reservist for the United States Navy.

Dorner is a former LAPD cop, and he's still out there.

And there's reason to believe that he's going to kill again, that maybe he already has.
