    Man, 27, who 'sexually assaulted and shot lesbian couple' almost two years ago in Texas park arrested

    By Zoe Szathmary
    Colorado Newsday

    A man who allegedly shot and sexually assaulted a teenage couple in a Texas park in 2012 was arrested on Friday.

    David Strickland, 27, allegedly committed the 'heinous assault' against the teens in Portland on June 23, 2012, the United States Marshals Service Lone Star Task Force (LTSF) said in a statement.

    The bodies of Mollie Olgin, 19, and Mary Kristene Chapa, 18, were discovered by a couple in Violet Andrews Park, Portland police said at the time.

    Olgin was found dead at the scene. Chapa lived, but suffered a brain injury.

    Authorities arrested Strickland on Friday, the LSFTF said.

    The LSFTF said it worked with the Texas Rangers and the two agencies discovered Strickland 'hiding out' in a Helotes apartment.

    'Task force officers and rangers conducted a brief surveillance and approached the apartment,' LSFTF said. 'Task force officers and rangers entered the apartment, identified themselves, and made contact with Strickland. Strickland was then taken into custody without incident.'

    Strickland faces capital murder, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated assault with a weapon charges, the agency said.

    Also arrested on Friday was his wife Laura Strickland, 23, Portland police said in a release published to their Facebook page. She allegedly tampered with evidence.

    'We are confident that we have the person responsible for this horrific crime in custody,' Portland police said. 'There is still a lot to do in order to prepare the case for prosecution. The families involved will never be the same, but it is our hope that the Olgin and Chapa families will at least feel some form of closure on this chapter of life.'

    Possible Connection in Portland Shooting Case

    INGLESIDE - For the first time since an arrest was made in connection to the fatal shooting of his daughter, Mario Olgin spoke exclusively with KRIS 6 News about the break in the case.

    Mollie Olgin was shot in the head at a park in Portland in June 2012. Her girlfriend, Kristene Chapa was also shot; she survived.

    Mr. Olgin says he first learned of the arrest on Facebook, and hasn't spoken with investigators yet because the details, he says, are too much for him to handle right now.

    Olgin says the past two years have been rough for the family, but he continues to keep Mollie's spirit alive.

    "I see things or hear a song and think, Mollie would've liked this, " he says.

    Mr. Olgin says he doesn't believe his daughter knew David Strickland, the man facing charges for her death. But says his wife, Laura, who is charged with tampering with evidence in connection to the case, used to play soccer with Mollie's sister.

    A trial date has not been set, but Olgin says he's unsure if he'll be able to sit through most of it, because the testimony may be too difficult to hear. He does hope prosecutors seek the death penalty.

    Wife of man accused in double shooting to face judge

    By Nadia Tamez-Robledo

    SINTON — Laura Strickland will go before a judge Monday in the 156th District Court for a bond hearing.

    Portland police believe Laura Strickland, the wife of David Malcolm Strickland, wrote a letter and left it at a Sinton home on June 11 detailing the 2012 assaults and shootings of Mollie Olgin and her girlfriend Mary Kristene Chapa. The letter was addressed to Chapa's father and written from the perspective of a hit man hired to kill her by David Strickland's friend and former roommate in Utah, according to arrest affidavits.

    David Malcom Strickland, 27, was arrested in his Helotes apartment this month on suspicion of capital murder, aggravated assault with a weapon and aggravated sexual assault. The most serious offense, capital murder, carries a punishment of life in prison or the death penalty.

    Laura Strickland was arrested on suspicion of tampering with evidence.

    Wife of Accused Portland Shooter Gets $150,000 Bond

    PORTLAND (Kiii News) - Laura Strickland, the 23-year old wife of the man accused in the 2012 double-shooting of Mollie Olgin and Kristene Chapa, appeared in court this morning for a bond reduction hearing.

    Strickland's bond was set at $150,000 and she must wear a GPS monitor and live with her parents in Ingleside. She faces a charge of tampering with evidence in the Portland shooting case.

    The couple was initially denied bail. Laura and her husband, David Strickland, were arrested June 20 in Helotes, Texas, after a break in the case earlier this month led investigators to believe that David Strickland was the man who shot and killed Olgin, and severely wounded Chapa, back on June 22, 2012, at Violet Andrews Park in Portland.

    If bond is posted, Laura Strickland will not be allowed to have any contact with the victims' family, and will have to be wearing a GPS monitor before she is allowed to leave the jail.

    Kiii News Reporter Anayeli Ruiz was at Monday's bond reduction hearing and came back with the details.

    Man indicted in death of Mollie Olgin

    By Beatriz Alvarado

    David Strickland was indicted on capital murder charges in connection to a fatal 2012 shooting in a Portland park, said San Patricio County District Attorney Michael Welborn.

    On June 23, 2012, 19-year-old Mollie Judith Olgin and her girlfriend Mary Kristene Chapa were sexually assaulted and shot in the head. Both women were left for dead in a grassy area of the park, but were later found by a couple passing by. Olgin died at the scene, but Chapa survived.

    Strickland also faces felony charges of kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and robbery, Welborn said.

    The United States Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and Texas Rangers arrested Strickland on June 20 at an apartment in the 12000 block of Bandera Road in Helotes.

    He will be arraigned in about two weeks, Welborn said.

    Strickland is being held in San Patricio County Jail with no bond.

    Lesbian Shooting Suspect Pleads 'Not Guilty'

    By Janelle Bludau

    SINTON - The Texas man accused of shooting a lesbian couple near Corpus Christi back in 2012 has pleaded not guilty to capital murder.

    27-year-old David Malcolm Strickland was arrested back in June in Helotes, near San Antonio.

    He is charged with capital murder in the 2012 Portland park attack that left 19-year-old Mollie Olgin dead and her girlfriend, 18-year-old Kristene Chapa seriously injured.

    Officials said Strickland, who waived arraignment on Thursday, has been held without bond since his arrest. He now faces trial October 27th in Sinton.

    Investigators said the two women were sexually assaulted and then shot.

    Strickland also faces felony charges of kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and robbery. His wife, Laura, has been charged with tampering with evidence in the case. She's free on bond.

    Crowd rallies against hate crimes before Strickland hearing

    While many have rallied for the speedy conviction of a man accused of raping and shooting two women in Portland, the man’s family say he has already been convicted in the public’s eye.

    Before a Friday morning hearing for David Strickland about 20 people rallied outside the San Patricio Courthouse in support of Kristene Chapa and her girlfriend Mollie Olgin.

    The women were in a Portland park on June 22, 2012 when someone forced them to duct tape each other’s eyes and mouths, according to an arrest affidavit. They were then sexually assaulted and shot in the back of the head, the affidavit states. Olgin and Chapa were left for dead, but were found the next morning by bird watchers. Olgin died at the scene, and Chapa survived. Chapa was in critical condition for weeks and the right side of her body was left paralyzed from the shot.

    Strickland, 28, is charged with capital murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping charges. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted of capital murder, Strickland faces an automatic life in prison sentence or the death penalty.

    San Patricio District Attorney Michael Welborn said Friday his office has not decided whether to pursue the death penalty.

    The shooting garnered national attention, and vigils for the women were held from California to Washington, D.C. It is widely believed the incident was a hate crime, but Welborn said Friday no evidence supports that theory.

    “No, we are not calling it that (a hate crime). We have found no evidence that this is a hate crime,” Welborn said.

    Because of the widespread attention, court officials and attorneys have discussed holding the trial in another county, Welborn said his office will not ask for that and, so far, defense attorneys have not requested a change of venue.

    Gay rights groups Pride Corpus Christi and a San Antonio LGBT alliance organized the rally that brought supporters from as far as San Antonio and Harlingen. Supporters held signs reading “Stop hate crime” and “Love conquers hate.” Chapa joined the group in a parking lot outside the courthouse but did not go inside the courtroom. She said the District Attorney’s Office advised she not attend the hearing.

    A couple who are friends with Strickland’s parents stood across the parking lot, mostly silent and watched the rally. Just before going into the courtroom to sit with Strickland’s parents, Hector Atkinson approached the group and asked them to remember a suspect in the U.S. judicial system is innocent until proven guilty in court.

    “You’re not guilty until proven. If he’s found guilty, then let him pay the price,” Atkinson said.

    But Chapa’s family already knows the facts of the case, her sister, Patricia Hernandez, responded.

    There’s no way Strickland could have committed this crime, his father Larry Strickland told the Caller-Times.

    “He’s been convicted in the news media without evidence. The truth will come out,” Larry Strickland said.

    David Strickland was escorted into court wearing a protective vest and isolated on one side of the courtroom. A sheriff’s deputy stood watch just feet from Strickland.

    Strickland’s wife, Laura, was also arrested on suspicion of tampering with evidence but the charge has since been dropped because of a lack of evidence, Welborn said.

    Portland police suspected Strickland’s wife wrote a letter from the perspective of a hit man and left it at a Sinton home on June 11. The letter detailed the assaults and shooting with information that had not been publicly released. The couple lived in a home near the park at the time of the shooting, according to an arrest affidavit.

    David Strickland voluntarily went to the Portland Police Department five days after the shooting and said he saw a white car at about midnight driving down Bayview Boulevard, near where the women were attacked. Bullet casings from a pistol David Strickland had at the time match casings found at the park where Olgin and Chapa were shot, according to the affidavit.

    Detectives have said there have been another person involved but Welborn said Friday there are no other suspects.

    “We have our man,” he said.

    But in court, defense attorney John Gilmore told Judge Janna Whatley that Chapa pointed to another man in a photo lineup. Officials would not confirm when that was.

    The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Feb. 6. A trial date has not been set.

    The suspect's father is deluding himself, and should crawl into a hole until this is over. Below is an article that outlines the evidence against David Strickland.

    Letter gave police break in Portland double shooting case

    By Nadia Tamez-Robledo

    SINTON - The wife of a man accused of shooting two women in a Portland park tried to frame someone else but ended up giving authorities the lead they needed to solve the case, according to court documents.

    Portland police believe Laura Strickland, the wife of David Malcolm Strickland, wrote a letter and left it at a Sinton home on June 11 detailing the 2012 assaults and shootings of Mollie Olgin and her girlfriend Mary Kristene Chapa. The letter was addressed to Chapa’s father and written from the perspective of a hit man hired to kill her by David Strickland’s friend and former roommate in Utah, according to arrest affidavits.

    Court documents also detail David Malcolm Strickland’s behavior following the shootings that led police to suspect him.

    Olgin and Chapa were sexually assaulted and shot in the back of their heads at Violet Andrews Park in Portland on June 22, 2012. Olgin died at the scene, and Chapa survived after they were found the next morning by bird watchers.

    The letter found in Sinton contained information that had not been released to the public, 36th District Attorney Michael Welborn said, including the women’s whereabouts the night Olgin died and information on the sexual assaults.

    A witness told police a woman driving a car similar to one owned by David Malcolm Strickland left the letter at his home at about 6 p.m. June 11, according to the affidavits. GPS information from his cellphone showed it was located in Portland the next day, according to the affidavits. The letter accused Strickland’s former roommate, who lives in Utah, as Olgin and Chapa’s assailant.

    Sinton police notified Portland police about the letter, and Portland Police Chief Gary Giles contacted authorities in Utah. The man implicated in the letter told Portland police he had no knowledge of Olgin’s death and provided documents that showed he was stationed in California with the military when the shooting occurred.

    Utah police also told Portland authorities David Malcolm Strickland had been charged with stealing the man’s firearms in January.

    David Malcolm Strickland was arrested in Moab, Utah, where a search of his vehicle turned up evidence of interest to Portland police’s investigation into the attacks on Olgin and Chapa, according to the affidavits. Items found by Utah police include firearms and a backpack containing a condom, personal lubricant, bolt cutters, pepper spray and a lock pick kit.

    The affidavits state he voluntarily went to the Portland Police Department five days after the shooting and provided information on his whereabouts. He told police he saw a white car at about midnight driving down Bayview Boulevard, near where the women were attacked. Later that day, he approached a group of people in mourning at the shooting site and asked what they knew about the investigation, according to the affidavits. He told the group his girlfriend knew one of the victims, and a witness later told police she saw him searching the grass near the crime scene.

    The affidavits state authorities have evidence that shows bullet casings from David Malcolm Strickland’s pistol match the casings found at the scene where Olgin and Chapa were shot.

    Strickland, 27, was arrested in his Helotes apartment Friday night on suspicion of capital murder, aggravated assault with a weapon and aggravated sexual assault. The most serious offense, capital murder, carries a punishment of life in prison or the death penalty.

    Strickland’s wife was arrested on suspicion of tampering with evidence. They both remained in San Patricio Jail Monday and weren’t eligible for release.

    The affidavits states the couple lived in a home near the Portland park at the time of the shooting.

    Welborn said he’s confident in the prosecution’s case. The couple’s cases could be presented to a grand jury for indictments as early as July 7, and pursuing the death penalty has not been ruled out.

    “I can tell you right now it is definitely still on the table,” he said. “We’re going to make sure we dot all our I’s and cross all our T’s so the families and young ladies will have justice in this case.”

    Chapa at the GLAAD Awards


    Three Years After Brutal Attack Of Teen Lesbian Couple, The Only Survivor Looks Back

    Kristene Chapa likes to spend her spare time teaching her niece T-ball skills. She has plenty of wisdom to offer; at the height of her high school career in suburban south Texas, Chapa, who is now 21, was the MVP of her softball team.

    These days, she instructs on the field more so than she plays, since she suffers from paralysis on the left side of her body — the aftermath of a summer evening in June 2012.

    Chapa was on a date with 19-year-old Mollie Olgin, her girlfriend at the time. While the teenagers stood together atop a windy bluff in a quiet waterside park, Chapa remembers a man walking by, then reappearing a moment later with a gun. He instructed the girls to walk down the bluff, where they were told to blindfold themselves. At the edges of the water in which Olgin had been baptized, they were sexually assaulted and shot execution-style. Chapa survived; Olgin did not.

    On a drizzly Saturday morning almost three years after the attack, Chapa spoke with BuzzFeed News in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan, where, later that night, she would receive a standing ovation at the 2015 GLAAD Awards. Chapa had never been on a plane before traveling to New York City for the event, which took place on the precipice of a new phase in Chapa’s life. Back in 2012, while still in intensive care after waking from the attack, she had used sign language, pens and paper to describe the person who shot her for a police sketch; now, in just a few weeks, her alleged attacker David Strickland is set to stand trial.

    “I’m tired of having to deal with this,” Chapa said. She was soft-spoken, even-toned, and steady-eyed. “I’m tired of having to relive what happened to Mollie and I. I just want the trial to start already, and get it over with.”
    Chapa relives the ordeal all too often. She is in the midst of writing her memoirs with a co-author, which has been both triggering and cathartic — a paradoxical blend that many survivors who narrate their own trauma will find familiar.

    “It gets frustrating,” she said about her book-in-progress. “I work a lot at night and need to get really into detail, which triggers my PTSD.” But, she added, “It’s very therapeutic to get my feelings down. It makes me feel better at the end of the day.”

    Chapa momentarily excused herself to dash off a quick message on her phone, deftly navigating the screen with her agile right hand while her left remained curled quietly in her lap.

    Chapa is in physical therapy three times a week, traveling more than three hours from her small hometown on the Corpus Christi Bay to a rehabilitation hospital in Houston, where she is working to regain mobility on her left side. She worries about facing a future in which she might not be able to hold her children with both hands.

    “I’ve gone through different phases,” she said. “At first, in the hospital, I was very angry, and in denial. Then I started coming to realize… it was very emotional. I would cry a lot. For a while, I wasn’t able to watch sad movies or listen to sad music. It was very hard. I’d be crying at night to where I was almost throwing up.”

    Through the emotional turmoil, her family and the south Texan community have been the backbone of Chapa’s slow but steady recovery. Supporters of various stripes are integral participants in Chapa’s GoFundMe campaign, which she and her family set up to offset the costs of her ever-mounting medical bills.

    When she was younger, Chapa was afraid of coming out as a lesbian, worrying that her very Catholic town and “old-school” traditional family would reject her. But after the attack, her parents said they wished Chapa had told them sooner — they would have liked to have met her girlfriend, about whom they knew nothing until the shooting that rendered that meeting impossible.

    In the immediate aftermath, debates flared over whether the shooting constituted a hate crime. Samuel Smith Jr., district attorney assistance for San Patricio County,told MSNBC: “I don’t have any evidence to say, oh, [Chapa and Olgin] were engaging in some activity that made someone think that they were in a relationship with each other […] Unless you can prove [a targeted hate crime], you don’t indict [an alleged attacker] for it.”

    Hate crimes are notoriously hard to prove, and rarely prosecuted. But Chapa believes that what happened to her and her girlfriend was, undoubtedly, hate-driven. “[Strickland’s wife] went to school with Mollie and Mollie’s older sister,” Chapa said.

    “Mollie’s Facebook was viewable to the public.” On the day of the attack, Olgin posted a Facebook status saying that she was about to go on a date, tagging Chapa with an accompanying emoji heart.

    Chapa and Olgin dated for four months, and were relatively public about their relationship online and at school. “It [would be] hard not to know,” Chapa said. “I do think it was a hate crime.”

    Smith, however, told MSNBC following the 2014 arrest that they only would have sought a hate crime indictment against Strickland “if we had the evidence to take to a grand jury.” Nonetheless, he said, Strickland was “charged for a crime which carries the highest penalty in Texas, which is death or life without parole.” Strickland is charged with capital murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated sexual assault, and aggravated kidnapping.

    Before the attack, Chapa kept her identity a secret from various members of her family and her community, fearing hateful reactions — but afterward, she was involuntarily outed on a national stage. “Pretty much everybody knows I’m gay now,” she said. “I’m proud to just own it, own up to it. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s who I am.”

    And the climate of LGBT acceptance in her small pocket of south Texas is decidedly warming. “My town is coming around,” Chapa said. “There are a lot more gay people. I’m freaking out — I’m like, man, where was all this when I knew I was gay [when I was younger]? They’re out, and they’re happy, and they’re not afraid to show their colors.”

    Later that night, Chapa stood onstage at the GLAAD Awards, reflecting on all the support she has received — support that Olgin will not be able to witness. “I just wish Mollie was here,” Chapa said. “She would have loved to see all of this, all the support from everyone. I know it’s a tragedy, but it also brings a lot of people together, and shows all the great people out there that [are] willing to help and have good hearts. It’s hard to be gay in south Texas, but I believe that God loves everybody — no matter if you’re gay or straight.”
