Killed girlfriend, posted gruesome photos of her body online

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.
Authorities confirmed the grisly online photos were of Coplin, 30, and the crime scene in Port Orchard, Washington, said Scott Wilson, a Kitsap County sheriff's deputy.
The images appeared on 4chan, an online bulletin board whose free-wheeling and anonymous nature has led to some of the Web's darker moments. Earlier this year, hundreds of private pictures of nude celebrities were posted on the site.
Police say they found her in a bedroom Tuesday after her 13-year-old son discovered his mother dead that day. Near her head was her driver's license with the word "dead" written on it. "Bad news" was written on blinds. And the words "she killed me first" were scrawled on a picture on the wall.
Coplin's son told police that his mother and Kalac argued loudly Monday night, court records show. Witnesses also said they heard what sounded like a violent argument and loud thumping and banging noises coming from the apartment in the city west of Seattle across Puget Sound.
The teenager told police he thought his mom was sleeping in and Kalac was gone when he left the apartment Tuesday morning, court documents say.
The fact that no one on 4chan called the police despite him explicitly saying he killed the woman and was leaving her body for her son to find, while included pictures AND a general area.
