Austin Police Officer VonTrey Clark was indicted for capital murder for the slaying of Samantha Dean, a Victim’s Services Counselor in Kyle, Texas. According to investigators, the (now former) law enforcement officer staged the scene of the crime to make it appear to have been a botched drug deal. Investigators believe that Officer Clark murdered Dean because she was pregnant with his child but refused to have an abortion.
No word yet on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
