Ten years ago yesterday, former Navy reservist and LAPD officer Christopher Dorner died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after committing a series of killings across Southern California that began on February 3 and ended on February 12.
What follows is a brief excerpt from Melissa Mecija's 2-4-23 10News.com report entitled "Meeting a Murderer: One Man's Encounter with Former Cop Christopher Dorner":
[San Diego fisherman Mike] Flynn met Dorner in early February in Pt. Loma. “He came down… maybe about two in the afternoon. He was just kind of walking around the docks,” Flynn said. “I guess he was trying to find a boat.”
At that point, Flynn knew nothing of the murders or the search to find Dorner in a nearby hotel at the [Pt. Loma] Navy base.

Meeting a Murderer: One Man's Encounter with Chris Dorner
Here's an excerpt from Kyla Calvert's 2-7-13 KPBS report entitled "Mountain Manhunt For Ex-Cop Accused Of Killing 3 Continues":
In San Diego, where police say Dorner tied up an elderly man and unsuccessfully tried to steal his boat Wednesday night, Naval Base Point Loma was locked down Thursday [Feb. 7] after a Navy worker reported seeing someone who resembled Dorner.
Navy spokesman Kevin Dixon said a Navy person reported someone matching Dorner's description in the area. Dozens of local police, sheriff's deputies and federal agents were at the base.
The Navy reports Dorner checked into the Navy Gateway Inn on the [Point Loma] naval base on Tuesday, Feb. 5 and was supposed to check out the next day, but never did. [According to Wikipedia, Dorner "skipped checkout procedures when leaving."] Brad Fagan, another Navy spokesman, said Dorner was honorably discharged from the Navy Reserve on Friday, Feb. 1.
