Tom Clayton

And she's shaking like this.

I instantly thought the worst.

Nothing.

And she's yelling at me.

get your glasses, you gotta look at my phone.

She's shaking like this, and I look, I go, no, he didn't use any phone call.

She goes, no, he used my phone.

I go, then he deleted them.

She goes, you can delete phone numbers?

I go, yeah, you can delete phone numbers.

It was positive for DNA of Kelly Clayton and blood still on the murder weapon.

There were shards of that same handle at the scene.

I observed no deceit in the statement she gave.

I believe it was true in her mind when she told it and as she related it.

The fact that there may or may not have been other DNA on Kelly Clayton really, to me, has no bearing on this case whatsoever.

Tom Clayton's trial was a very big trial for our county.

That's when the real investigative work comes in in proving that everything he originally said was true.

But at that time, we had enough documentation and the recoveries and the statements made by other people.
