Alleged SD pedophile takes his own life when faced with arrest
CANOVA, SD (KELO.com) — The New York Post is reporting a disturbing story from South Dakota of an alleged pedophile killing himself earlier this week when confronted by a predator hunter. 60-year old Donald Letcher reportedly gave graphic detail of disturbing videos featuring children – including infants – to Predator Poachers Founder Alex Rosen. Rosen’s crew recorded enough to use as evidence and called in police, and persuaded Letcher to admit his crime to an officer. Letcher then walked inside his home and took his own life with a gun. Letcher was convicted of molesting a 9 year old girl in 1996, but that conviction was overturned.
