Husband, who's jailed on a murder charge, says the devil entered his body and caused the woman's death, authorities say
ODESSA — A man accused of killing his wife said he was holding her facedown on the floor during an exorcism when the devil entered his body and caused her to die, according to a probable cause statement.
Jan David Clark, 60, of Odessa, was arrested Friday after authorities went to his home and found Susan Kay Clark's body wrapped in a bed sheet with a cross and sword on top of it.
Sgt. Gary Duesler said the Ector County Sheriff's Office went to the home before dawn Friday after being told that Jan David Clark had called a friend and said his 59-year-old wife was dead. Clark told investigators he had his wife pinned on the floor of their carpeted master bathroom when she died.
Clark was charged with murder and remained in the Ector County Jail on Sunday on $300,000 bail. He has declined comment at the jail. It was unclear whether he had an attorney.
The woman's body was taken to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.
