Casper child porn suspect found dead in park

Posted 1/8/13

CASPER — A former Casper mayor and state legislator facing felony child pornography charges has been found dead.

Natrona County Coroner Connie Jacobson says 66-year-old Larry Clapp died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports that his body was found in a city park Monday.

Clapp’s death comes three months after he was charged with two counts of possession of child pornography.

Clapp was an attorney. He was mayor of Casper in 1988 and was a member of the Wyoming State House of Representatives from 1978-79. He was married and had one daughter.

According to court records, investigators found more than 100 movie files related to child porn on Clapp’s computer.
