GUILTY WA - Amber Coplin, 30, brutally murdered in her Port Orchard home, 3 Nov 2014

I did not know the victim personally as we have close to 1000 employees in Tacoma but according to the Facebook linked above she was a coworker. Praying for her family and friends that justice is served. I feel sick to my stomach that he would not only murder her in cold blood but would brag about it online.

Amber's sister Patti posted on her FB that Kalac is now on Washington's 'Most Wanted' list.
LE has pretty much confirmed that the pictures on 4chan are legitimate. Which we knew already, but that puts any doubts to rest.

:sigh: Wish they were fake.

The victim's car has now been found: http://www.ktvb.com/story/news/local/regional/2014/11/05/wa-murder-victim-car/18574647/

Kitsap County sheriff's Deputy Scott Wilson says police found the dead woman's abandoned gold 2001 Ford Focus 4-door car in southeast Portland around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Wilson says there was no sign of Amber Lynn Coplin's live-in boyfriend, David Kalac, now charged with second-degree murder in her death and the subject of an extensive manhunt.

Not the first time 4chan has had issues with stuff like this as well as child . Amazed that site is still around

 

[thefragile7393]

And not sure how the charges are second degree? This screams pre-medititation

David Kalac (allegedly) strangled Amber Coplin to death two days ago. At around 2:54PM, Kalac posted three images of Amber's body to 4chan, a very popular message board. You can read the text from that thread in post #2. Basically, he was showing off what he did and saying he was leaving the body there for Amber's 13-year-old son to find. And the poor kid did find her when he got home at 3:30.

The pictures are fairly easy to find, but I highly highly HIGHLY recommend you do not look at them if you are squeamish or have kids in the room. I'm rarely bothered by postmortem images ... but IMO there's something especially jarring and haunting about these, and I'm not going to be ''un-seeing'' them for a while. I think it's knowing that someone apparently hated this woman so much that he not only killed her, but posted pictures of her body online to further degrade her (and show off his 'handiwork') and then topped it off by leaving it for the poor kid to find when he got home from school.

Yep, I think the pictures are particularly disturbing because he was showing off what he did. Posting the photos on the net was part of the thrill for him and by viewing them you kind of feel like you're almost complicit in the crime. And that's a very jarring feeling.

There has been an unconfirmed sighting of Kalac in SW Portland. Police have a house surrounded.

More information on the unconfirmed sighting:

ETA: It would appear he is now in custody, judging by tweets from @KOINNews

 

[lucidtx]

He was taken into custody in Clackamas County, Oregon.

So, it would seem his "suicide by cop" plans never came to fruition. Apparently, he turned himself in.

 

[SStarr33]

Coward.

 

[chicagofa13]

I hope they find a way to upgrade those charges. 2nd degree hardly seems to be enough.

 

[cpaz33]

How horrible! I hope her poor family don't see those horrible pics [emoji20]

:sigh: Her poor child. I didn't see the pictures, thank God, didn't even click the link to try. From the sound of things I made the right decision. I also would like an explanation of the second degree murder charge.

Well he's in custody. Since suicide by cop fell through I'm hoping shanked in prison will be his next news blurb. :thumbup:

The evolution of technology is a beautiful thing, but the downside here is it enables sick people to be even sicker. Those photos basically went viral before police and family even knew, now not only are they preserved by the internet they will forever be etched in the mind of her poor teenage son who found her.

It's bad enough to kill someone but to totally desecrate them like this...no one deserves that. I feel terrible for the family.

Looks like charges could be upgraded to "aggravated first degree" at some point, which includes premeditation, at least from what I am finding. Even that carries a max of 45 years? Not sure, very confusing. Jmo

Hopefully he'll also be facing more charges regarding the theft of the victim's vehicle, evading arrest, dangerous driving and hopefully a charge regarding the pictures he posted online. I'm not too "in the know" about US laws but I'm hoping this will be the case.
