Man made false claim to be slain CHP officer's nephew (The Daily Breeze)
A man who claimed to be the nephew of a fallen California Highway Patrol officer at a ceremony dedicating a new freeway sign in his honor last week said Tuesday that he meant no harm.
"I had nothing to gain," said Beaver, a Long Beach resident. "It was not about me. It was about Merle. To me, he was my uncle. He called me his nephew. Even though, if you want to say by blood, OK, I wasn't. To me, he was."
