Portland man arrested in wife's slaying
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 56-year-old Portland man was arrested Thursday in connection to the March 2 slaying of his wife.
Lloyd Erp was arrested following his release from the hospital. He was booked on suspicion of murder in the Multnomah County Jail and will appear in court on Friday.
His wife, Lori Erp, was found dead of a gunshot wound the morning of March 2 at a residence in the 4200 block of Northeast Campaign Street.
The killing surfaced after someone who lives out of state called police early in the morning after receiving an email from Lloyd Erp. Police said the caller was concerned that Erp might be suicidal.
Officers arrived at the man’s home to check on him at around 5:40 a.m., but got no response from inside the home and left, according to police.
Nearly two hours later, Erp called 911 from inside the house. He said he was injured and there was a gun inside the home, police said. Officers kept him on the phone and convinced him to come outside where he was taken into custody.
Officers said they found the gun and are not looking for any other suspects.
Too bad these freaks don't kill themselves first. They'll kill their wife and children, then make a fake suicide attempt. OR kill their wife and kids, AND THEN kill themselves. Â
Jeesh, men can be so unthinking. Â If he knew he'd killed his wife, then he knew he'd be arrested...therefore he knew he'd have his picture taken. Â Couldda at least shaved.
looks like the kind of dude riding on a trimet bus, tapping his feet all nervously, looking around in all directions shiftily. maybe asking somebody if he could bum a cigarette...wait a second, that sounds like me!
Bastard
Whoa.........Way to zoom on the mug.
He was suicidal in an email then he murders his wife? Sounds like he just wanted to kill someone, or he chickened out at the last minute and decided someone else had to die instead. Doesn't make sense to me.
Lloyd Erp? - What an unfortunate name.
WHOA! I thought that was George Carlin for a moment. My bad.
Sure makes one wonder what prompted the situation.Â
Did he think he had some wild west blood of Wyatt Erp in him ?
March madness
Another lengthy trial punctuated by many mental health evaluations. Should by some miracle he be found fit to stand trial, he just might be convicted and be released for time served (while awaiting trial).
"Nearly two hours later, Erp called 911 from inside the house. He said he was injured and there was a gun inside the home, police said. Officers kept him on the phone and convinced him to come outside where he was taken into custody"
What a chicken POS. Â Why oh why won't these losers just leave everybody else out of their selfish pity-parties? Â This chicken-**** succeeds in the murder part of the murder-suicide but cries for help like a whiny little punk when he tries and fails to do himself in. Â Loser, loser, loser.Â

@feral We need to make more laws about guns and murder! That will help.
