Suspect in slaying, posting death photos caught

Source: AP-Excite

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A man surrendered in Oregon after police say he killed his girlfriend, posted gruesome photos of her body and the crime scene online, and wrote that he wanted authorities to kill him.

David Kalac's arrest Wednesday night nearly 200 miles from the crime scene in Washington state came after a daylong manhunt. He's accused of killing Amber Lynn Coplin, whose teenage son heard the couple loudly arguing and then found his mother dead in their apartment.

Kalac, 33, texted a friend Tuesday morning to say he would read about Kalac in the news, then evaded police in the woman's stolen car until he emerged from a wooded area and turned himself in to a passing police officer, authorities said.

Authorities confirmed the grisly photos posted on a website were of Coplin, 30, and the crime scene in Port Orchard, Washington, said Scott Wilson, a Kitsap County sheriff's deputy.

Honestly, that face reminds me of the southern racists of the 1960's.

now murder porn.


Gee, I wonder why this guy thought he would find kindred spirits there when he posted those pics?


I'm glad for one thing: he planned suicide by cop, but apparently chickened out.

Now he has a loooooong time to ponder his life choices.
