Fox News reported that Holmes' parcel sat unopened in a university mailroom for almost a week before it was finally opened Monday.
Law enforcement officers were called to the University of Colorado Anschutz medical campus in Aurora on Monday morning, after the psychiatrist reported that he received a package he believed was from the murder suspect. However, upon police inspection, it turned out to be from someone else. Upon searching the mailroom, a package with Holmes' name on the return address did turn up.
“Inside the package was a notebook full of details about how he was going to kill people,” the source told FoxNews.com.
Along with the lurid details of his plan, the source described seeing primitive stick-figure drawings of what Holmes was intending to do during the massacre.

Why did Holmes send the notebook in the first place? Was it a cry for help, a way to see if anyone really actually cared, to assuage his foreboding sense of guilt or just a way to find someone to convince him that there had to be a better way to deal with the crises that he was almost certainly aware he was living?
On the flip it may have been a capricious attempt to unsettle and taunt those at the school of what he had in mind….
