Samantha Peterson, 21

WI, Waukesha, Waukesha Co.

September 5, 2009

Samantha was stabbed to death by her former boyfriend, David A. Wapp, 29.

He was found guilty by a jury of first-degree intentional homicide and sentenced to life in prison plus six years, without the possibility for early release.

David Wapp stabbed Samantha Peterson repeatedly and slit her throat. The homicide occurred five days after he was released from prison (a term served after extended supervision in a 2003 conviction and sentence for child abuse and carrying a concealed weapon had been revoked).

Following the homicide, a person whom he had told about the murder called police and David Wapp was arrested at gunpoint as he tried to escape through a hotel window.
