The plea avoided a lot of what was expected of dramatic and extensive litigation.

Detectives also found three important points inside the room where the body hidden Clark: a green-ink pen, a lab coat and a bloody sock similar to that found on the ceiling to the floor.
Police later searched the home of Middletown Clark and took samples from him in an attempt to obtain his DNA.
