PA man suffocated girlfriend after crash


Recommended Posts

MANHEIM, PA (AP) ? A man suffocated his 17-year-old girlfriend by sitting on her head after he intentionally drove into a guardrail at about 100 miles per hour in the middle of the night, authorities said.

Police filed homicide and other charges Friday against 19-year-old Benjamin Daniel Klinger for the Dec. 4 death of Sammi Heller on an interstate near Manheim, in south-central Pennsylvania. Klinger is accused of crashing on purpose, then killing Heller by sitting on her until she asphyxiated.

"At first glance, this appeared to be simply another tragic vehicle accident," Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman told the Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era. "However, the police worked hand-in-hand with our forensic experts and saw this was far more complicated, sinister and certainly criminal."

Heller told a friend that Klinger previously tried to scare her while driving and that he had threatened to kill them both in a crash, authorities said. A witness told detectives that Heller said that Klinger would push her into walls and once pushed her down a set of stairs, police alleged.

A truck driver who came upon the 2 a.m. crash heard Heller screaming and was told by 911 operators not to move the crash victims. When police arrived, Klinger was sitting on top of Heller's head and torso, according to the arrest affidavit.

Detectives recovered marijuana, cash, a digital scale, a pipe, pills and a black air pistol from the wreckage.

Klinger was also charged with aggravated assault, drug offenses and driving violations.

I have to ask the obvious question:

WHY do you keep her as a girlfriend if you just want to abuse her, then kill her ??? :s

I thought the obvious question was "why do you keep dating a psycho that threatens to kill you and throws you down a flight of stairs"

No the real question is Why stay with a man who ....

Separately, he faces a charge of simple assault after being accused of running over Heller's foot in May and two counts of disseminating explicit sexual materials to a minor after being accused of sending out photos and video of Heller.

Wow, just...wow.

Im kind of curious how he managed to be mobile and conscious enough to do much after a 100mph crash though, that would total most vehicles and pretty severe injury to the passengers, even with today's safety devices.

Was she unconcious or something? Dude must have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge butt! :p

Maybe both since he was sitting on her head and torso, a crash at 160kmh should result in a blackout even with airbags.

I think that they need new forensic experts if they found this complicated. I'm no profressional but it seems pretty clear to me

Pretty much, I've had women openly admit that once you can satisfy them sexually you'd need a crowbar to get them off. its sad, I knew a girl who was in an abusive relationship, got the courage to leave and found a nice guy who actually looked out for her. She then broke up with him (before they got serious) saying it was happening too fast and she wasn't ready. Lo and behold three months later she's back with the abusive guy and four months later she has a broken forearm.

I don't know if its the primal instinct to seek the alpha male type but women pretty much gravitate to men who treat em like crap. Go figure.

See I've never found treating women like crap to work out for me...But being too kind doesn't work either...you get used and they leave.
