PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) – Authorities are searching for a man suspected of killing his 30-year-old live-in girlfriend in Washington state after graphic photos posted online appeared to show her body hours before it was discovered.
David Kalac is suspected of second-degree murder in the death of Amanda Lynn Coplin, according to court documents from Kitsap County.
Photos posted on websites appeared to be of the deceased woman and the inside of the home, according to a probable cause document. The person who posted the photo commented on how the woman was killed and wrote of planning to be fatally shot by police. It was unclear if the online photos led to the discovery.
