Crime Coast Guard vet turned OnlyFans model pleads guilty to killing accused rapist in national park

Article (archive)

A Coast Guard veteran turned OnlyFans model has pled guilty on Tuesday to murdering a man who she alleged raped her four years before she executed him off an isolated hiking trail in an Ohio national park.

Chelsea Perkins, 35, traveled more than 300 miles from Virginia to Ohio in an arranged meet-up with Matthew Dunmire at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on March 6, 2021, according to the US Attorney’s Office.

While in the park, they began hiking off-trail into a wooded area where Perkins took out a handgun she had been concealing and fatally shot Dunmire, 31, in the back of the head, prosecutors said.


Chelsea Perkins pleaded guilty on Tuesday to murdering a man who she alleged raped her four years before she executed him.

Hikers discovered his body three days later.

Prosecutors said FBI investigators used GPS data, DNA, social media, phone records, and ballistics analysis at the crime scene to link Perkins to the murder.

According to a criminal complaint, Dunmire went out drinking with a co-worker four days before he was murdered and told them he was meeting up with a girl who was staying in the area for the weekend.

Dunmire’s co-worker saw a woman with brown hair pick him up in a white smart car, which investigators later discovered was registered in Virginia and belonged to Perkins’ husband.

Witnesses also later told investigators they saw a woman matching Perkins’ description on the park trail on the day of the murder. Hikers in the park also reported hearing a gunshot between 11:30 a.m. and 11:50 a.m., according to documents.


Matthew Dunmire was murdered by Perkins while hiking with her in an Ohio National Park.

It took the FBI nearly nine months from when she killed Dunmire to arrest her.

Authorities discovered three 9mm pistols, one of which had bullets with “similar characteristics” found inside Dunmire’s head, while searching Perkins’ Alexandria, Va, home, documents show.

Dunmire was an aspiring musician who grew up in Virginia before he moved to Cleveland.

Court documents show that Perkins and Dunmire knew each other before the killing and were in high school together from 2005 to 2009.


Prosecutors said FBI investigators used GPS data, DNA, social media, phone records, and ballistics analysis at the crime scene to link Perkins to the murder.

In 2017, Perkins filed a report with Virginia Beach police alleging that Dunmire had raped her but didn’t have enough evidence to file charges against him.

Perkins then had a brief stint in the Coast Guard, where she met her husband, according to court documents.

She left the service and went on to become an OnlyFans model under the name Sabrina Savage, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.


Perkins started an OnlyFans after serving in the Coast Guard.


Perkins and Dunmire knew each other prior to the killing and attended high school together from 2005 to 2009.

Perkins pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and using a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence on federal property — a week before she was set to stand trial.

Following Dunmire’s murder in March, Perkins was suspected of killing but had still not been arrested.

In November 2021, Dunmire’s mother, Tommie Lynn Dunmire, and father, John Nelson McQuillen, drove to Washington, DC, intending to kill Perkins, according to the US Attorney’s Office.

Dunmire’s mother, dressed as a UPS driver, knocked on an apartment door and shot a woman she mistakenly thought was Perkins twice in the abdomen.

Dunmire’s body was found off a hiking trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park three days after he was murdered.

The mother and father fled the scene, changing the license plates on their vehicle to avoid being caught, but were tracked down by police.

Tommie Lynn Dunmire shot and killed herself after being pulled over in Florida.

The woman she shot by mistake survived her injuries.

Federal agents arrested McQuillen, who later pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to assault with intent to kill and was sentenced to three years in prison.

Following her plea deal Tuesday, Perkins faces between 20 and 25 years in prison.

She is set to face sentencing on Sept. 9.

It's a tough one man, on one hand he does look like the prototypical soyboy male feminist rapist, but on the other hand she looks like a woman who would lie about rape.

But this piece of shit went to go hangout with a crazy bitch who accused him of rape and tried sending him to prison while his gf and kids are back home. No sympathy for him.

theoretically this is why getting consent during sex should be very important

But also a woman can just say "I felt pressured into it, like I had to say yes, so it was actually rape."

Dollar Tree Styx meets Dollar General Razorfist Ex...murder ensues...what an odd world.

Nothing you said is correct. I don't know what world you live in where a man can't overpower a woman. The only rapes happening without struggling is using booze or drugs.

What women are laying there not participating in sex? A freezing trigger response? What the fuck are you smoking, nigga? Are you a virgin? Have you ever touched a minge?

Supposedly, most rape occurs between family members, so I'd bet it's much more like how he said, odd though it may sound. As for women lying there like a limp sack of potatoes, that's famously the female version of being bad at sex.

 

[Made In Wales]

Dude looks like every redditor ever.

For a moment, I thought it was Styxhexenhammer.

He should have been charged with breaking and entering instead.

 

[beautiful person]

Idk if you people are just joking, but skinny men absolutely can and do overpower "buff" women. Have we learned nothing from tranny athletics? The strength disparity between men and women is so great that even a scrawny man will almost always overpower a well-built woman. That's why it's so socially unacceptable for men to beat on women, even when the woman is being a cunt who is blatantly taking advantage of the fact that it's socially unacceptable for men to beat on women.

But also, this chick is fucking stupid.

FBI agents say they subsequently unearthed a draft of a suicide note on Perkins’ phone, which she attempted, unsuccessfully, to delete,

Perkins posted to her Facebook page, “Dead men tell no tail [sic.]”

The two headed for an Airbnb Perkins booked using a credit card in her own name,

[Perkins] then left him in the woods, walked back to her car and drove to Detroit to get a tattoo.”

Like, holy shit

whenever any stressful or dangerous situation happens a woman's first response is to freeze and wait for someone else to fix the problem. that's why you've hearing about so many large machines crashing or exploding as women are given positions of power traditionally carried by men. they cannot handle those situations like a man does, which is to spring into action and do something

and that's a normal and mentally sound woman. now take someone who was beaten or molested as a child and that response can get turned up to 11. some more details are described here (A)

Many survivors of sexual assault report ‘freezing’ during an assault. The researchers argue that this is an involuntary response to a threat which can prevent a victim from actively resisting, and that it occurs throughout biology.

Animal studies have demonstrated that severe, urgent threats, like assault or physical restraint, can trigger a freeze response involving fixed posture (tonic immobility) or loss of muscle tone (collapsed immobility). Self-reports of these states in humans shed light on an important insight into immobility. Namely, that we are unable to make voluntary actions during this freezing response.

Yet, quite frequently victims of sexual assault are asked to explain the freeze response, something which is further made difficult by the impaired memory and loss of sense of agency which often accompanies trauma.

yes, it sounds crazy as a man. your first question for a woman who was raped is why didn't you scream or fight back or do literally anything to stop a bad thing from happening to you? the main problem with all of this reasoning is that's how men think and act. not women

akin to the fable of how circus elephants are trained, you are asking why all the circus animals don't just run away if they're actually being abused so much, since they're so much bigger and stronger than the circus performers and are may only be contained by puny fencing they could easily break down

the other problem is centered right here in the article

“You never screamed for help?”

“Why didn’t you fight back?”

These are questions that lawyers asked E. Jean Carroll in her rape case against former president Donald J. Trump this spring.

all of what i said relies on good faith that women will always tell the truth. and yet this article is about a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted but waited decades until it was a politically opportune time to make tons of money to go public with the accusation, like many other cases in the last decade during the #MeToo movement

tl;dr

Islam is right about women.

Some people are more honest than others about what 'serving your country' really means I guess...

skinny men absolutely can and do overpower "buff" women

The average A&N poster has a hard enough time understanding causal relations, let alone how muscle fiber density differences between sexes is the same mechanism by which a relatively small chimp can have the strength of three men.

Cut them a modicum of slack.

Where do you guys find this stuff?

Lol neck tattoos, only fans and murder, what a combo!

Modern women believe that sex you regret later in life is rape. Seeing a picture of that guy, I could tell she fucked him out of pity, feels like an idiot for doing so, and did some mental gymnastics to convince herself that it was rape.

drunk sex more likely, the guy was a recovering alcoholic and I bet the gal was the type to get pickled off her ass too.

Question for legal kiwis: they have evidence of premeditation so why didn't they nail her with first degree murder? Are they that worried about her nonsense rape story with zero evidence?

 

[ZeCommissar]

I want to remind those ITT that physically weak men can, and do, easily overpower most women. I think she's a liar, or something like "regret sex" or "I was passed out drunk" happened instead of the 'ol "hold her down while screaming" rape, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

Now this guy isn't going to be raping some woman like prime Rachel Mclish, but weak men are still stronger than the vast majority of women especially in high stress physical situations. The only times women are stronger than men is if the men are like the victim in the OP, and he's facing off against women who've physically trained for years, and/or take steroids. Most rapists aren't going to pick the female bodybuilder as their target. Don't know how much these two weigh, but I'm going to take a guess it's a similar range. If that's the case, pound for pound, he would be able to beat her into submission unless she has a weapon or is really good at martial arts, and even then, it's not guaranteed she'll fight him off.

Fit Guys who work out every day? They will easily beat 98% of all women.

This is actually a huge mistake women make all the time. There are too many young women out there that think "I can fuck up a man!" until their skinny boyfriend play wrestles with them and has her pinned down effortlessly.

EDIT: @BulkForceFive I don't want to double post. I'm guessing it was in the plea deal, which is why she pleaded guilty. If she didn't she could face up to life in prison instead of the 20 years.

It was a plea deal. That's what they agreed to.

 

[The Ugly One]

Why'd she become a cam whore instead of an electrical engineer? Every engineering school in America was falling all over themselves to enroll women of color until the Trump admin put a stop to DEI.

Matthew Dunmire was murdered by Perkins while hiking with her in an Ohio National Park.

That is an autism stare if I've ever seen one. Poor Styx cosplayer probably couldn't read social cues well enough to know he "raped" this mentally stable woman.

 

[Mound Dweller]

Sloots be crazy yo.

Dunmire’s mother, dressed as a UPS driver, knocked on an apartment door and shot a woman she mistakenly thought was Perkins twice in the abdomen.

The mother and father fled the scene, changing the license plates on their vehicle to avoid being caught, but were tracked down by police.

Tommie Lynn Dunmire shot and killed herself after being pulled over in Florida.

The woman she shot by mistake survived her injuries.

Talk about burying the lead this is the real fucking story right here wtf.
Props to the parents for being ride-or-die but I do wonder what the real reason is.

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

drunk sex more likely

Then you have to prove that the woman was more drunk than the man. I've fucked women while blackout drunk while they had only 2 Smirinoff Ices.

That stat only exists because pakis rape their own family members.

haven't you seen the sign

 

[queue-anon]

It's wild to me that this woman did effectively nothing to cover her tracks and still it took the feds nine months to catch her. She couldn't even be bothered to shoot him in the chest so she could claim self-defense.
