SAN DIEGO — A Miramar-based Marine pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder for strangling his 19-year-old stripper bride of two months while she slept in their Mira Mesa apartment.
According to authorities, Lance Cpl. Patrick Thomas Poteat, a 22-year-old electronics technician, killed Kalyn O’Barr-Poteat Jan. 5 and then tried to slit his wrists but was unsuccessful. After leaving a confession on the refrigerator, he fled to Joshua Tree, where he was arrested.
He is expected to be sentenced to 15 years to life in prison Nov. 10.

The young woman worked as a nude dancer at Goldfingers Gentlemen’s Club under the name “Darla.”
