Suspected Killer Found Dead In Cemetery

"UNIONVILLE, OH — An act of violence ends in more violence as the man who stalked and murdered a school teacher is found dead.

"Mahoning County Career and Technical Center teacher Stacey Sutera was ambushed and shot to death early Wednesday outside her Canfield condo by 64-year-old Robert McLaughlin, a man who stalked her for years.

"Ever since the early morning shooting, police began to cast a wide net for the Painesville man.

"An off duty Madison Township police officer discovered McLaughlin's body and his rented van around 1:20 p.m. Thursday afternoon at the tiny Harpersfield Cemetery in Unionville, Ashtabula County.

"He was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, slumped over his mother's grave.

"`We believe that Robert McLaughlin was aware that law enforcement was hot on his tracks,` explained Canfield Police Chief Chuck Colucci. `And eventually drove to a cemetery and that's where he decided to take his own life, one gunshot wound to the head, with a small caliber handgun.`"
