FILE- This May 21, 2006 file photo, shows actor Charlie Sheen as he arrives for a screening for a film in Cannes, France. The accused killer and former cop Christopher Dorners' rambling manifesto, that he allegedly posted online to Charlie Sheen, “You're effin awesome,” Sheen asked the missing suspect to give him a call. It sounds like the plot line to a movie: He's a former Los Angeles cop on a violent, rage-filled rampage who will stop at nothing for revenge. Instead, police say, it is the latest real-life crime story to grip Southern California, a place where fiction frequently blurs with reality and pop culture often plays larger than the truth. Christopher Dorner's alleged killing spree hasn't just terrorized a section of the country, it has captured people's imagination and attention. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth, File)
