Just in time for America’s 250th birthday, follow Dan Taberski (*Hysterical, 9/12, Missing Richard Simmons*) as he sets off on his most complicated quest yet: to reclaim the manifesto and write his…
Dan TaberskiHostInterviewed Guest, Supermarket Protest StoryGuestPolice in Irvine, California are investigating the double murder of a young couple in the parking lot of their apartment complex.
27-year-old Keith Lawrence and his fiancée, 28-year-old Monica Quan, 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.
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.
Irvine 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.
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.
A particular interest at this point in the investigation is a multi-page manifesto in which the suspect has implicated himself in the slayings.
Trace, this manifesto from this suspect who's targeting cops, it's stunning.
It is stunning, Shep, and it says-
He's been very well-trained.
You know, LAPD, some of the best trained officers in the country, and I tell you, this manifesto, it scares the hell out of me.
