The suspect in the Colorado cinema massacre posted a notebook
"full of details about how he was going to kill people" to a psychiatrist, it
has been reported.
The advance warning of the mass killing - sent to the
member of staff at the University of Colorado - lay unopened in a post room for
as long as a week before its discovery on Monday, a police source told
FoxNews.com.
It is claimed that FBI agents were called to the university's
medical campus in Aurora on Monday morning after the psychiatrist, who is also a
professor at the school, reported receiving a package believed to be from the
suspect.
It turned out to be from someone else, but a search of the post room
on the campus uncovered another package sent to the psychiatrist with Holmes’
name in the return address, the broadcaster reported.
The authorities got a
warrant from a county judge and took the package away Monday night, a second
police source said.
"Inside the package was a notebook full of details about
how he was going to kill people, there were drawings of what he was going to do
in it - drawings and illustrations of the massacre," according to the unnamed
source.
The source said the package had been in the mailroom since July 12,
though another source who confirmed the discovery to could not say if the
package arrived prior to Friday's massacre.
Both sources said the intended
recipient of Holmes’ notebook was a professor who also treated patients at the
psychiatry outpatient facility where the first suspicious package was delivered.
It was not clear why it had not been delivered to the
psychiatrist.
