Man Murdered Pregnant Ex-Girlfriend Then Had Sex With Her Corpse

September 6, 2012 at 10:31 am by Morbid

STURGEON BAY, WI -- An Illinois man has been charged with choking his pregnant ex-girlfriend to death, then having sex with her dead body.

Last month, 35-year-old Brian Cooper was staying with 22-year-old Alisha Bromfield, who was 6½ months pregnant with another man’s baby, at the Door County resort in Wisconsin. They were at the hotel to attend the wedding of Bromfield’s sister.

After the wedding, the two got into an argument over the fact that Bromfield wanted to end their relationship. Bromfield fell asleep, and Cooper started drinking and becoming increasingly angry over the breakup and how cold and indifferent he felt Bromfield was acting.

According to the criminal complaint, Cooper said he “didn’t want to go home single,” so he decided to stay in Wisconsin as a murdering, corpse raper.

Prosecutors say that at 2 or 3 in the morning, after watching Bromfield sleep for about two and a half hours, Cooper got on top of Bromfield and used his bare hands to choke her. Court papers revealed Bromfield pleaded for her life and the life of her unborn child. “Don’t do this to me, think of the baby,” she reportedly shouted at Cooper as he choked the life out of her.

After she was dead, Cooper allegedly undressed her and had sex with her corpse. Cooper told investigators that after he raped Bromfield’s corpse, he covered her body with a blanket out of respect. He then says he tried to kill himself with a butcher knife and a corkscrew but, obviously, was not successful. Cooper was arrested after he fled the scene and called police from gas station.

Cooper is currently being held in the Door County Jail on $1 million bond. When he entered the courtroom yesterday, he would not look at Bromfield’s friends and family who showed up wearing purple shirts and buttons featuring Bromfield’s face.

Hmmm…I wonder why she wanted to end that relationship?

People! Talk to me, please before you do anything drastic! I am married. Being single is way better – especially better than being dead or in jail – though some may see the parallels.

He was probably living with/off of her. Now the prison can take care of him.
Sam

So was he just really REALLY eager to get laid that night, or had he always had necrophyliac tendencies? What kind of fucked up wiring is going on in that head to go from “don’t leave me, i don’t wanna be alone, hold me!” to “yeah baby, take it like a CORPSE!”??

Well that turned out well for everyone.

Is it just me or is there something about Wisconsin that has people wanting to get down and funky with corpses? Because I was planning on visiting a friend there next year >.> So if there’s something in the water, I wanna know.

Then went o a wedding with him while pregnant with another mans baby. Never assume the other person is over it.

Ugh, the mental picture I got…

WTF? That was like reading a script of a Jerry Springer episode… FROM HELL!

How come murderers can somehow never manage to murder themselves as successfully as they do others?
Zazen

What gets me is the whole corpse screwing thing really. I mean, no one likes cold feet in bed…

Given the confused, rambling behavior of the creature, I wonder if – in his constant inspirations and ideas that night – he made the necro story up to hide that he really raped and choked her to death in old-skool order. Necrohumping is bad and perverted, but murdering someone while raping them…that’s bad, perverted, and evil.

He is a fucking loser. The smartest and dumbest desicion this beautiful girl did was dump him and stay in the same hotel room as he did.
Gee

Screwing the corpse just puts this sick bastard over the top. What steps it up a notch for me is that he did it with the baby there and more then likely the baby was still alive while he did it.
sugarpie

That is the part I keep thinking about. At 6 1/2 months there would be a lot of activity…. I need some brain bleach.

Another sensible “If I can’t love you then nobody can” scenario with a romantic twist. It is redundant, but it amazes me how well people can murder others and botch their own murder even though there is no fight.
Sam

They sell “ice lube” here. Mentholly. So, at least some people like some things cold. All I know is I damn near gave my hubby a concussion when he was trying to ‘take care of me’ and drew a sharp breath in.
Andyman

I’ve never met anyone from Wisconsin that I liked except Laverne and Shirley. I don’t know if it is too fucking cold there or what.
Andyman

Sounds like poor planning strikes again.
Zazen

Yes, but cold feet…!

I thought guys HATED it when a chick just lies there?

Yeah so sad. I read this yesterday on the weekly vice.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

Literally, there have been three stories about Wisconsin and necrophilia that I recall. One had these two inbred-looking friends who, after reading the local obituary and seeing a picture of a beautiful girl that died in a MOTORBIKE CRASH, decideded to dig her the hell up for some sexy times. Somehow they got busted but I hear the most demented things coming from Wisconsin!

Reread the first 3 words of the article. He was from Illinois, the crime was committed while in Wisconsin.

The no talking part yah, I could be totally down with that, but the whole rigor mortis thing, Nope, it would be like taking a mannequin to bed.

It always creeps me out to read that someone “had sex with” a corpse/child/elderly lady whose house he broke into. Like Obama said: “Rape is rape!”

It would have taken the baby a while to die…were they able to save it?

That is exactly what I thought. When I was that far along my stomach would shift shapes when my babies would move. You know that baby must have been kicking in agony as he/she slowly asphyxiated.
Isaac Cros

Too bad wisconsin abolished the death penalty. Hopefully he is raped in prison and killed. Then raped again and buried where they put bin laden
Zazen

I knew that as well, and have no need to re-read. I did not ask ‘what is it regarding Wisconsin residents’, I asked what was it about Wisconsin, and then expressed concern about a future trip there. So I guess you might have wanted to re-read my post.

OH shit, Gee, that makes me feel bad for my smart ass response. Damn it, damn it.
Gee

You shouldn’t )

I think reality set in that he killed her unborn child so he tried to put one back.
Harley_Tech

Damn, if I had a dollar for every time I fucked a dead chick….
http://www.youtube.com/user/WildlifeSeriaLKiller Darrell FIne

pffft… get it while it’s warm is what I always say…. and who the fuck uses a corkscrew to attempt suicide? What a fucking retard. Seriously, it would take a lot for me to just kill someone… well…. ok, that’s a lie. I would LOVE to strangle half the people at Wal Mart… BUT I DON’T… and that is what separates me from the next guy. I don’t have anything else to say. Especially in a drunken stupor. So fuck you.

Dude, I LOVE being married. Been married for ten years and my wife is awesome. We work together every day, we talk everyday, and we hang out every night. She’s my best friend. Some call it pathetic, I call it a great marriage. SUre, we want to stab each other sometimes, but usually we don’t… not fatally anyways.
CT

Kidding, I love my husband, It has been 18 years. There have been times I’ve wanted to punch him in the face but imagine he has felt the same about me. Though LOVE is way overstating it. Plus there was this one time about a crow bar.

qarrrrgh….

I wonder the same exact thing. He should have just successfully killed himself and never touched the pregnant woman at all.
