This is 24-year-old David Welker.
David Welker is well known to law enforcement in his area, having been arrested over 27 times now since 2002, including two arrests when he was 18 for theft.
David Welker has done a few other things as well, having been charged with battery on an elderly or disabled person along with grand theft auto.
It would seem that David Welker just doesn’t get it. It would also seem that the justice system doesn’t get David Welker, or for that matter, people like David Welker. The naive sentiment that the courts seem to adhere to - to society’s detriment - was best expressed by Oingo Boingo in their 1981 hit, Only A Lad, which you can listen to by clicking the play button below. Go ahead. Listen. We won’t go anywhere.
Yes, David Welker, despite being arrested 27 times since he was 18, was walking free. Free, broke and horny. That could be why David Welker was stalking his local Wal-Mart at 6 in the morning on the 8th of April, 2008.
For approximately 30 minutes, according to surveillance video inside the Wal-Mart, David Welker waited for someone vulnerable to happen by, which happened at about 6:15. David Welker followed a 35-year-old woman back to her car, pulled a gun on her and told the woman that he’d kill her if she screamed.
The woman had her 1-year-old infant with her, which probably constituted the vulnerable element that David Welker was looking for. And really, if you’re alone, female and have your baby with you, you’re going to do whatever the guy with the gun tells you to do.
Like drive behind the Wal-Mart where David Welker can rape you at his leisure.
Like handing over your purse and telling David Welker what your ATM pin number is.
Like getting into the trunk so David Welker can lock you inside while he makes his getaway.
And you know, if David had left it alone after raping this woman, he might have gotten away with it. She had a vague description - a white guy, in his 20’s, about 5′7″ and 130 pounds, with short brown hair and a light-colored SUV, possibly a Chevy Blazer - and that’s all the police had to go with. Not exactly narrowing the field down, but the woman had just gone through Hell behind that Wal-Mart so you can’t exactly blame her for not getting the guy’s license plate or having him sign a pre-rape disclosure form, you know?
But someone used this woman’s ATM card shortly after the incident, and that provided police with this picture, taken from the ATM surveillance camera.
Not only do police have that nice, sinister-looking photo, but they’ve also collected a gun, the jacket David Welker was wearing when he used her ATM card and David Welker’s SUV, which matches the description of the SUV that the woman gave.
As David Welker was being arrested, the press asked him if he raped that woman. David, who has had only the best of criminal educations, replied:
I don’t even know what you are talking about.

A piece of advice for all you would be killer/rapists. When you steal an ATM card and have a PIN number…every ATM machine has a camera on it (even if you can’t see it) and you will be seen, photographed and identified eventually. I’m in NC and an ATM picture solved 2 murders, one of a UNC student (surprised PYSIH didn’t cover that POS). Now this guy is caught because of an ATM picture.
What am I saying…please, please keep using ATM cards you stole because the police really never ever check those…honest
admin - One day PYSIH.com may bring in enough money to make it feasible to quit our day jobs. We doubt it, but who knows? Until then, we’ll trying to pick out what we consider to be the more interesting stories. Sometimes a story has already been overcovered. Sometimes a story just doesn’t inspire us. Sometimes, we just want to play Battlefield 2 for a while before we go into work.

Perhaps Ice-T would rework his cop-killer song, to something likr Scum Cleaner and this POS and others could provide background vocals!

i always waive to the cameras at ATM machines (well, the ones which location i know). it’s nice to know they’re installed at every single ATM machine in my country too :)

With a statement like that he has a shot at becoming president! I am sure that after her two terms, Hillary will Slick Willie campaign for this POS!
But really, this guy with a little more brain power could have gotten away with the crime and with that I wonder how many do.
This guy deserves to have the book shoved up his ass! I also wonder what he was like under 18, butthen again that’s probably sealed by now, so we’ll never know what type of a child grows up ti be such a liability to society.
This POS should have invested in a blow up doll, saving himself the trouble of having to be up at 6 a.m. and us taxpayers of the cost of housing, food, protection and atty fees.
When this POS gets out, part of his sentence should be to pay the cost of therapy for both the victim and possible that of the child.
Debt to society? That is bullshit, debt to victim can NEVER be fully rerpaid!

Mr. Fred,
I do believe that if we force POS’s to be the subjects of pain-torture audio CDs, we can give the proceeds to victims. I’d buy the CD’s! The cover would have their mug shots on it.
Imagine a POS screaming, begging for his life, and the buzz of a chainsaw in unison. Absolute bliss!

Can he stay in prison a little longer this time? Geez
Where was his probation officer?
Where was his half-way house?
If you look at his criminal record, you could bet he’d fuck up again. Duh.
This guy is begging for a long prison stay.
Oblige him.
You know what?
The police dept. and justice system owes that poor lady an apology.

I was wondering when PYSIH would find this scumbag. Our local news (ABC Orlando) reported a while ago that this creep raped her while holding the gun to her baby’s head. Just sick!
admin - Dude, they just caught him like within 24 hours of our post. We do need to shower, eat, play Battlefield 2 and sleep at times, you know?

I probably should have written “if” instead of “when” but my apologies anyway. I forgot all about Battlefield 2!

Given the fact that this guy is an absofuckinglute moron, I suppose maybe he doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
[Reply]
i still wonder who the people are that consistently vote no. i don’t care about the “no” vote, but i’d like to see those windup merchants post some replies here.
[Reply]
Fred- I doubt Hillary would ever help this guy- she seems quite happy with her philandering non-rapist husband who’s ok with her questionable sexuality. But, nice segue into politics. And now I don’t have to ask who you aren’t going to be voting for!
As far as the blow up doll idea, I’m not sure that would work. I mean, there’s some really lifelike models out there nowadays- but I haven’t seen any that have the capability to fight back, cry or act scared. And I’m going to guess that’s the kind of blow up doll this POS would want.
I don’t even want to imagine how horrible it would be to have that happen, and then to go through all that testing for nasty diseases/pregnancy…. rapists don’t seem to like condoms.
And, what kind of POSx10 sets their alarm so they can wake up bright and early- to rape a Mommy?

I have a theory. I believe that when we commit murder or other kinds of violent crimb,the vast majority of people have a gene that activates and causes us to do incredibly stuipid shit (See David’s lovely portrait).
[Reply]
his phot looks liek he didn’t go quietly into Police Custody, and the police got a few hits in, that’s a good thing at least :)
[Reply]
Does anyone else think he looks a little like Christian Bale?
[Reply]
It looks like this guy is just mentally handicap retarded!!!! I wonder what kind of twisted child hood he had growing up!!!!
[Reply]
Maybe he “wanted to get caught”. LOL :) Yeah right! Obviously if you are patrolling a walmart at 6 in the morning with more than likely not to many people around intending on at least stealing (maybe the rape was spur of the moment) that has MANY cameras you have to know that alone might get you caught. And EVERY Tom, Dick, & Harry KNOWS at least that all atm machines have cameras! He should go to hell just for being stupid! What a MORON!
That POOR LADY! I don;t know what would be going through my mind had that been me and my baby with Mr. STUPID T. Sicko!
My guess is if he is that DUMB the police will probably have DNA evidence too since I am sure he didn’t go into the Walmart to buy a condom to hide his DNA! Cause that may require some thinking and this ASS HOLE only thinks about his own satisfaction and getting what he wants and could really care less! He seems to be arrogant too if he thought he could get away with this!

cash back baby
[Reply]
Well this ass hat, dumb fuck definitely deserves to go to hell.
For the people who voted NO!! just do you know while he was raping the mom, he didn’t hold the gun to the moms head it was pointed at the baby most of the time.
“Not only did the rapist attack the mother in front of her 15-month-old daughter, he also held a gun to the baby’s head. After the rape, police said a security camera caught Welker coming back where he dropped something on the ground. Investigators came back to look and found a condom.”
“The victim said Welker took a handful of red or orange condoms out of his pocket and then raped her. “While doing this he had the gun still in his hand and rested against the baby,” according to the arrest affidavit.”
It turns out David lived with 2 female roommates (Brandi Phillips and Amanda Rossman)
Amanda recognized David in the bank photo’s as well as the hoodie he was wearing and the SUV , turns out they both belonged to her. She calls crime stoppers and turns his sorry sick ass in. Brandie on the other hand says ” “I think the charges are ridiculous,” said Brandi Phillips. “Even if he did do it and had some proof I just know I’ve known him for four years and he’s been a good guy.” Guess we know one of the people who voted no for David going to H.E. double hockey sticks.
Hopefully david will spend the rest of his pathetic live behind bars were he belongs.

Come one guys. Let’s give Little David Jr a break. He didn’t want to rape or rob the woman, why she lied and that’s why he didn’t know what they were talking about.
Truth is, he had asked her where he could get a picture taken for her. You know, one to commemorate their first date. She just gave him the card and told him she new a camera that paid to take pictures. Why it was such a new and novel idea, to cut down on long lines they mailed you the picture after giving you a modeling fee of up to $500.00.
As far as him looking for the condom. He wanted to keep it to show their kids one day.
The trunk? Oh, he was being romantic, sorta like when guys would hide their dates in the trunk to save on drive-in movies.
And the gun to the babies head? Oh that little thing. He was letting the baby look at the gun instead of staring at them while they went at it.
So, instead of sending him to jail, let’s reward him. He can spend the next 100 years working the return counter at Wal-Mart the day after Christmas. Of course, only the best Wal-Mart will do. Recommend him for the one on the East Side of Cleveland.
