Washington, D.C. -- The heinous double murders of a young South
Florida couple, whose bodies were discovered stuffed in the truck of
a car, have landed alleged murder suspect, David Clarke, on the U.S.
Marshals’ 15 Most Wanted Fugitive list. On June 16, 2007, Clarke and
two other assailants, Clinton Dinnall and Anthony Bennett, waited
for the couple, Chris Thompson and Cassandra Williams, at a home in
Lauderhill, Fla., and brutally shot and killed them.
According to
witnesses, Cassandra Williams pleaded that she was a mother and had
a 5-year-old son, but her pleas were answered with gunshots. The
alleged assassins then stuffed the couple’s bodies in the truck of a
car and abandoned the vehicle in Sunrise, Fla., where authorities
made the discovery. Bennett and Dinnall were arrested a few weeks
later and charged with first-degree murder; however, Clarke has yet
to be found. Today, the U.S. Marshals are adding Clarke to its 15
Most Wanted Fugitive list.
“Being added to the Marshals’ 15 Most Wanted list is a wake-up call
to all fugitives like Clarke to put them on notice that it’s only a
matter of time before we come knocking,” said U.S. Marshal Christina
Pharo of the Southern District of Florida. “Our reputation of being
the best in fugitive apprehension can be backed up with results, and
we are hoping to add Clarke’s apprehension to the numbers.”
A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading
to Clarke’s arrest.
Clarke, 26, is a black male and Jamaican national. He is six feet
tall and weighs 210 pounds. He has a medium-brown complexion,
hazel-brown eyes, and may or may not have dreadlocks. He also
normally wears a beard. Clark has relatives and associates in
Jamaica, West Indies and in south Florida.
Anyone with information about David Clarke’s whereabouts should
contact their nearest U.S. Marshals Service office or the agency’s
toll-free number 1-800-336-0102.
