Suspected pedophile kills himself when confronted by predator hunter at his South Dakota home

A suspected pedophile killed himself moments after he admitted to watching child pornography to a predator hunter outside his South Dakota home.

Donald Letcher, 60, described the graphic detail of the disturbing videos that featured children as young as infants to Predator Poachers founder Alex Rosen, according to footage shared by the “Breanna Morello Show” podcast.

Letcher described his atrocious viewing pleasures, which featured males holding down babies as they “ejaculated” on them.

After hearing enough evidence, Rosen called in a police officer and got Letcher to admit his heinous act to the cop.

As the officer called his supervisor, Letcher walked inside and a “pop” was heard.

The crew outside say they didn’t think much of it because it “wasn’t a loud shot,” but it was later revealed that Letcher shot himself in the head with a .22 bullet.

“The cop breaks the door down and then one of my camera guys goes around the window and sees him (Letcher) on the ground with a hole in his head bleeding out of it,” Rosen said.

Letcher was airlifted to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Rosen.

The pedophile had reached out to Rosen’s team, who were posing as a preteen girl, and asked for “nudes.”

“This guy messaged us first in April, and all the messages he was pretty sexual, asking us for nudes thinking we were a 12-year-old girl,” Rosen said.

The predator hunter said he had Letcher graphically describe the videos to ensure the creep admitted to the crimes for video evidence.

“When they describe basically everything they see, it leaves no doubt they’re guilty of watching and possessing that stuff,” he added.

Letcher reportedly molested a 9-year-old girl in 1996, a fact unknown to Rosen at the time of his conversation, but the case was overturned by the South Dakota Supreme Court.

“The justice system never held him accountable,” Rosen said.

Letcher was also hit with DUI and hit-and-run charges after he ran over a 6-year-old girl in a “non-pedophile” incident in 2022.

Where to watch SDSU at South Dakota men’s basketball today, time, TV

The South Dakota State men’s basketball team has a chance to get some payback against South Dakota today in both teams’ final game before the Summit League Tournament begins.

The Jackrabbits (14-16, 7-8 Summit League) have won three of four and just beat Kansas City 73-59 on Thursday, Feb. 26. The Coyotes (15-15, 7-8) are headed in the opposite direction, having stopped a three-game skid with an 89-72 win over Omaha on Wednesday, Feb. 25.

Here’s how to watch the two rivals battle again.

South Dakota State at South Dakota prediction

Paul Cifonelli, Argus Leader: Like the first time these two teams met, this is a matchup between two squads headed in different directions. Somehow, they’ve managed to flip roles in just three weeks.

South Dakota looks like it is running out of steam quickly after impressing and threatening the third spot in the Summit League in early February. South Dakota State has rebounded from losing five of six nicely, giving themselves a chance at hitting .500 on the season.

I expect the Jackrabbits to continue playing inspired and hard, and for them to overwhelm a Coyote side that has shown more fight than anyone could’ve imagined.
