A truck found abandoned and burning near a Southern California ski area belonged to a fugitive former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three murders, authorities confirmed Thursday afternoon, as thousands of officers searched for the suspect across three states and into Mexico.

The suspect has been identified as Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, and he is considered extremely dangerous and armed with multiple weapons, authorities say. He is accused of killing a college basketball coach and her fiance last weekend, then following through on a vow to kill police by opening fire Wednesday night on three officers, killing one.

The killings appear to be retaliation for his 2008 termination from the Los Angeles Police Department for making false statements, authorities say. Dorner posted an online manifesto that warned, "I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty."

>> “Burning his truck is a sure fire way to pinpoint his location and time. Now they know he was there within a few minutes. unless he had another car there, he probably stole another one.” <<

.
My guess is that the burning truck is a decoy, and he rode out of there on a motorcycle that he carried up there in the truck.

I may be not seeing/reading everything, but it sure seems odd that he waited 3 whole years after being laid off to retaliate. Does it take that long to plot a murder spree?

Thank you.

I didn't see anything in this record that said that he told his training officer he was waiting for probation to be completed so that he could sue the department.

If I may ask, where did you get this information?

Source: "Evans would later tell internal affairs investigators that Dorner confessed to her on the first day they worked together that he was unhappy with the way the LAPD handled a complaint he made against some of his classmates in the academy, according to police records. He believed the LAPD was a racist organization and told Evans he planned to sue the department at the end of his probation period, Evans reported."
