VonTrey Clark Charged In Murder Of Samantha Dean and Unborn Child

A Bastrop County grand jury has officially indicted Former Austin police officer VonTrey Clark in the murder Kyle police crisis counselor Samantha Dean and her unborn child.

Court docs reveal, Clark is being charged with capital murder in the death of Dean and her unborn baby after she refused to get an abortion. Dean’s body was found in a parking lot back in February.

Documents say Clark hired a hit-man to kill Samantha, who was seven-months pregnant with Clark’s child, after she refused to have an abortion. In June the hired hit-man, Aaron Williams, told detectives that Clark paid him and Freddie Smith $5,000 to kill Samantha because she wanted Clark to pay child support for the baby. Clark then took Samantha’s body to Bastrop and staged the murder scene. Police also linked Kevin Watson and Kyla Fisk to Samantha’s death. h/t fox7austin
