US murder suspect surrenders to police
Print Edition
AN American man charged with killing his girlfriend and posting pictures of her body online, and writing that he wanted authorities to find and kill him walked up to an officer on Wednesday night and surrendered, police said.
David Kalac, 33, was arrested at a transit center in Wilsonville, about 30 kilometers south of Portland, Oregon, Clackamas County sheriff’s Sergeant Nate Thompson said.
An officer was patrolling the area when a man came out of a wooded area near a parking lot.
“He basically said, ‘I have a warrant for my arrest’,” Thompson said.
Police in Wilsonville said Kalac was cooperative. He was charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of Amber Lynn Coplin, who was found dead by her 13-year-old son on Tuesday in her apartment in Port Orchard in the neighboring state of Washington.
Kalac was believed to have fled in her car, which was found abandoned on Wednesday afternoon in Portland, about 260km south of the crime scene.
Kalac has a criminal history in Washington state and Virginia that includes convictions for assault, burglary and drunken driving, Kitsap County, Washington, sheriff’s Deputy Scott Wilson said.
Deputies have confirmed that gruesome photos posted on a website are of the victim and the Port Orchard crime scene, Wilson said.
“He’s our primary suspect,” Wilson said on Wednesday.
“It stands to reason that in all likelihood he is the person who posted those photographs.”
