HCSO Norma Jean Clark: Cops say she was living for decades with a dark secret
Clark, 61, waived extradition and was booked into Harris County Jail yesterday, Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Christina Garza says.
Clark had been living quietly in rural Tennessee when she was arrested; she said she was indigent and had a defense attorney appointed for her to handle the proceedings in that state.
She is accused of murdering her husband by shooting him in the head and back in 1987. At the time, she said she had been sleeping in another room and was awakened by gunfire.
Police couldn't find any evidence to contradict her, but modern testing equipment revealed incriminating microscopic blood drops, in a splatter pattern that would occur in a close-range killing, on her shirt.
She is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow.
