Ex-LA Cop, Murder Suspect, With Ties To OK, Sent Parcel To CNN Anchor

Law enforcement officials are inspecting a package CNN's Anderson Cooper received from a former Los Angeles police officer who allegedly killed three in a shooting spree.

CNN spokeswoman Shimrit Sheetrit said Thursday that a parcel containing a note, a DVD and a bullet hole-riddled memento were sent by Christopher Dorner and addressed to Cooper's office.

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith says LAPD robbery-homicide detectives will inspect the package for clues.

The package arrived Feb. 1, days before the first two killings Dorner is accused of.

It contained a note on it that read, in part, "I never lied."

Dorner was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements.

A coin typically given out as a souvenir by the police chief was also in the package, and riddled with bullet holes.

Dorner also had ties to the state of Oklahoma.

According to the Enid newspaper, the Enid News & Eagle, Dorner named Enid in his manifesto as one of the places he has lived. The newspaper even did a feature story on Dorner more than 10 years ago when Dorner was a student pilot at Vance Air Force Base.
