Tijuana Strip Clubs: Marine Admitted Killing Wife: Detective
A Miramar-based Marine will stand trial for the choking death of his wife, a teenage stripper who was killed while she slept in the couple’s Mira Mesa apartment.
San Diego police found Kalyn Denise O’Barr-Poteat, 19, in a one-bedroom, second-story apartment on Hillery Drive Jan. 5.
Her 21-year old husband, Lance Cpl. Patrick Poteat, was arrested in Yucca Valley after a friend had called 911 instructing police to check the couple’s apartment.
After he was transferred into San Diego police custody, he was questioned by detectives. Poteat reportedly cried during the interrogation and admitted to killing his wife.
Poteat told detectives that he strangled his wife in bed with an electrical cord, San Diego police Detective Mike Holden testified in a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
