Ohio man says he didn't know woman was dead during sex

[marmar]

WASHINGTON, Ind. - Police say an Ohio man accused of having sex with a corpse told investigators he didn't at first realize the woman was dead.

Richard Elwood Sanden, 55, of Geneva, Ohio, was being held on $500,000 bond Wednesday in the Daviess County Jail in Washington, Ind., on charges including abuse of a corpse and possession of marijuana.

The Washington Times-Herald reports police arrested Sanden on Saturday night after they were called to the dead woman's apartment.

The newspaper reports Sanden told police he was having sex with the 48-year-old woman whom he had known for a few months when he realized she wasn't breathing. He told police he administered CPR and called an ambulance.

The woman's cause of death remains under investigation.

[kctim]

32. Bleh

Been married 22 years, I'm entitled to have fun with standard stereotypes of marriage.

[seabeyond]

35. sure... all us women like tht standard, cute little stereotype of being corpses in beds. giggles

to be had.... insults to be made

for what?

male ego.

[kctim]

51. Male ego? LOL!

Here is the type of response I will get when I tell my wife about this story tonight:
"Poor girl, bored to death"
"Did you give him pointers?"
Female ego? :rofl:


It's called having a sense of humor, something most people have. Thankfully.

[HEyHEY]

66. I think he was refering to the "Thrill is gone" kinda of sex many couples have after a long time

[Kalyke]

75. CLUE: If men would remain romantic, women would remain

interested in sex.

It's not all our fault, dudes.

Oh, and we don't like it when you get flabby, either. We may still love you, but, if we have to be thin, then so do you.

Easy, peasy.

[Forkboy]

76. This is why I only fuck models.

[HEyHEY]

86. Where do I say anyone's at fault? calm down..

[cynatnite]

33. n/t

[uppityperson]

42. Funny, thanks for the laugh

I know, stereotyping and all that, but still, thank you from someone who has been married for many yrs

[Bozita]

11. I really thought that by now there'd be a dozen replies claiming to know that woman

I'm pleasantly surprised.

[H2O Man]

My ex-wife?

[Solly Mack]

13. I'm gonna exercise some self-control.

Privately, however....

14. "What do you mean, dead? I just thought she was English."

[Bragi]

38. I thought of that same joke!

But had the decency to keep it to myself : )

[foxfeet]

53. Decency has never been my strong suit.

:P

Edit: Spelling. Duh.

[Bigmack]

69. Damn! I wanted to use that one! nt

[JoePhilly]

[yoyossarian]

19. I dunno...

How many verified kills can you claim, using only your

I know that's the way I wanna go!

[Javaman]

18. Alright, since no one else will say it, I will. He didn't know the difference? nt

[AnneD]

20. I once had a College Biology Prof....

that once said that he hoped he had a heart attack on the upstroke so he could get a freebee going down.

I just think guys brains are really wired differently. Gotta love them.

[PCIntern]

21. ...but the dishes were piling up....n/t

[randr]

25. He didn't know "at first"?

And his second thought is "what the hell?"?

[guitar man]

31. Bada bump!!

:spray: :rofl:

[Urban Prairie]

23. The authorities must question him about what time it roughly was, when they (he) began to get frisky

After the coroner establishes the approximate time of her death of course, and perhaps his goose will then be cooked.

[BlueJazz]

24. The Man told Police: " I swear.. when I told her I needed a stiff one..."

[malaise]

26. True story

About a decade ago a good friend of ours was making out with his girlfriend and in the middle of the excitement she let out a loud sigh and then she was dead - she had a massive heart attack.
He can talk about it now but he had a very hard time explaining her death to cops in Fort Lauderdale.

[PCIntern]

29. Nelson Rockefeller, they say, died in the sack...

and although he may have been happy, he was not with Happy.

[malaise]

39. Bet his tombstone didn't say

He came and went at the same time. :evilgrin:

I know three men who died that way.

[yellowcanine]

44. According to Imus (I know, big dose of salt) his mistress tried to cover it up by dressing him

the fact but in their haste she and her girlfriend put his shoes on the wrong feet.

[antigone382]

56. I can't imagine how traumatizing that could be. n/t

[madokie]

27. I'll bet he left a lot of satisfied women in his lifetime

NOT. What an idiot in more ways than just that too.

[Forkboy]

30. For me it was just the opposite.

Imagine my shock when she moved!!!! Which raised the question, who buried her that way????

:hide:

[Control-Z]

40. I didn't even need to look up

at your name to know it was you who posted this.

[Forkboy]

48. LOL...thanks!

[Soylent Brice]

55. ...

62. Forky, you kill me!

Bad bad bad!

[Forkboy]

63. The blacker the chance for humor, the more likely I'll be there!

:D

[Kalyke]

78. That's not black - that's psychotic.

[yoyossarian]

80. Tut tut! Jokes are NEVER psychotic... fun IS fun, EVERY time, according to science!

Consider: Most real psychos have no discernible sense of humor... it's
part of their problem, the inability to laugh at life and one's place
in this crazed cosmic dance...

They never learn to dance. They never get comfortable in this
temporary skin, never realize that their trials and sufferings
are some of the common human experiences that binds us all together
as brothers and sisters.

Forkboy, on the other hand, is a good boy; he is a fine upstanding
citizen and a model of the old reliable forkboys of yesteryear. He
has ALWAYS adhered faithfully to the tenets of the sacred Forkboy code,
which states emphatically that one should never EVER stick one's fork
into any sort of mortar.

In short, he is NOT a mortar-forker.

He's a good boy.

[Forkboy]

96. Thanks for covering my ass!!!

;)

[yoyossarian]

101. No problemo!

And BTW: Keep 'em warm and save me some leftovers, huh?
(nudge nudge wink wink!)

[Swamp Rat]

71. LOL!!

:rofl: :loveya:

[yoyossarian]

81. OMG, that's a GREAT new pic, DUDE!

You rockin' it, baby! (wink, wink!)

:headbang:

[Forkboy]

98. That is one relationship I hope to never have to delve into!

:)

[Richard Steele]

74. Dude, she was just pining for the fjords!

You kids these days, Itellyawhut. :wtf:

Forky, I was MARRIED briefly when I was 18,
and even all these years later I can still
tell the difference between that and a real corpse.

[Forkboy]

95. She would have muscled up to those bars and VROOM!!!!

:D

[kimi]

84. Oh my gosh

That's awful!!!

And it's the best laugh I've had all day.

I'm gonna be giggling at this for the next few days at least.

[Forkboy]

97. Awesome!

What's scary is that I know people who have a darker sense of humor than I do. As you can imagine, I'm afraid to leave the house! :)

[cynatnite]

34. Obviously, this thread attracted DU's best and brightest...

:sarcasm:

[seabeyond]

37. yup.... nt

[Forkboy]

49. What does the fact that you're being sarcastic say about your appearence in it?

:P

[cynatnite]

52. I was willing to make the sacrifice...

:P

[Forkboy]

54. That's the spirit!

:D

[BlueJazz]

50. I has know idear what you meen.

[rucky]

72. Giggity!

[Odin2005]

41. That is fucked up.

[yellowcanine]

43. Ok that is definitely a headline you don't want attached to your name.

I definitely would change my name and move to another state.

[musiclawyer]

45. They would not have charged him with the abuse thing

If the time of death coincided with the time he said he was doing it with her. Or at least you would't think the cops would be that dumb. Assuming the cops are are not keystone, then he probably came accross her...... and well...... got all frisky
Yuck!

[Liquorice]

88. No, I believe he murdered her. There's no way anyone would just happen

upon a dead girlfriend and become sexually excited. I don't buy it for a second. That poor woman.

[montanto]

46. I had a girlfriend like that too once.

[Ezlivin]

47. "Officer, the marijuana is hers."

Damn. At least the guy could have done is offload that crime on the woman.

[flvegan]

57. Why were the police called to the apt?

Did he actually try cpr and call an ambulance and the EMTs called the police, or did the police automatically get called when he called for an ambulance? Or did someone else call and why?

I hate shoddy reporting.

[Zax2me]

58. True or not true, neither reflects him in

A positive way.

Impossible to spin!

[yoyossarian]

60. Oh yeah?

See my post #20 above...

[ismnotwasm]

61. Gross

Reminds me of Kevin Smith's "Clerks" movie

[somone]

64. FULL STORY --> The cops found and reviewed his videotapes:

http://washtimesherald.com/local/x857095990/Corpse-abuse-case-continues



...Richard Elwood Sanden, 55, Geneva, Ohio, was further charged with necrophilia and mutilating a corpse, along with his original charges of abuse of a corpse, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. His original bond of $4,500 was raised Tuesday to $500,000 following the additional charges. The charges all stem from the death of Rebecca Whitehead, 48, 900 S. Meridian St., Bldg. 3, Apt. 25, at around 8 p.m. Saturday night... Washington Police were called to the scene at 9:33 p.m. and Whitehead was found in the apartment. When Det. Mike Healy arrived at 9:48 p.m., Sanden was in the hallway. Daviess County Coroner Stephen Cullen was also called.

Sanden told police that he met Whitehead on a telephone dateline and had known her for three and a half months. He told police that the two were having sexual relations up until he noticed she was not breathing and called an ambulance. The last time he spoke to Whitehead was at 8 p.m. Sanden said he did not notice she was dead and as soon as he realized, he performed CPR on her. He also told police that the two had been drinking and smoking marijuana. During a search of the apartment, officers found a video camera. Sanden said he had moved the camera into the bedroom so the EMT would not see it. Whitehead’s body was then transported for an autopsy and Sanden was taken to the police station. After a viewing of the tape, additional charges were filed.

Sanden admitted the marijuana was his and gave background information. When confronted that he may have known that Whitehead had died, he denied he knew. He was then taken to the Daviess County Security Center. Sanden was interviewed again on Sunday and asked about previous sexual assault charges against him. The charges, made by an ex-girlfriend, were later dropped, he told investigators. Other videotapes were found at the scene, investigators said, and when confronted, Sanden said they were of other women he met on the phone dateline...

65. I think I know why she died.

He forgot to put the paper bag over HIS head.
