LAS VEGAS » Local, state and federal authorities in Las Vegas say they’ve found no sign of a former Los Angeles police officer wanted in three killings in Southern California
Records show Christopher Dorner owns a small two-story home in a neighborhood about 9 miles southwest of the Las Vegas Strip.
No one appeared to be inside today.
Dorner is suspected of killing a couple over the weekend in Orange County, and killing a police officer early this morning in Riverside.
Freeway information boards in Nevada are posting notes about Dorner’s gray 2005 Nissan Titan and license plate number, with instructions for anyone seeing it to call 911.
Las Vegas police, the Nevada Highway Patrol, FBI and U.S. marshals are looking for Dorner and the pickup on Interstate 15 and other southern Nevada roads.
