A meeting of the minds is what led to the capture of Roger Dale Clifton, Jr., a capital murder suspect who was apprehended Tuesday around 5:30 p.m. at Fort Polk, said Deputy U.S. Marshall Jim Fulcher, in Beaumont, Texas.
Clifton, who is not a soldier, is accused of killing 57-year-old Bobbie Lynn Carlton. Investigators say 30-year-old Clifton walked into the Lil' Goats Liquor Store in the Stockman Community of Shelby County, Texas last Wednesday, and shot Carlton, the owner, in the head during a robbery.
Calrton was found in the store with a gunshot wound to her head and later died at a Nacogdoches Hospital.
Fulcher said that deputy U.S. Marshalls working a separate case in Shelby County "kind of walked into" the case involving Clifton.
The deputies talked with the sheriff in Shelby County who is also part of a mult-county task force. That conversation led to the discovery of Clifton's whereabouts. A short time later, investigators located a car that Clifton allegedly stole.
Then the U.S. Marshalls traveled to Fort Polk to apprehend him.
A number of agencies had a hand in the apprehension, including the Texas Rangers, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division, as well as U.S. Marshalls Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force and Western Louisiana Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team and the Vernon Parish Sheriff's Office.
