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.

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.”

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.
