There they contacted a severely injured Clinton woman who had been the victim of a violent assault in her home located on the east side of Clinton.
After speaking with the victim and investigating at the woman’s home, Clinton Police learned that she had apparently met a man online and started a relationship with him. The man, from the Chicago area, came to Clinton to visit the woman.
While at her house they became involved in an argument and the man stabbed her several times with a knife and a pair of scissors and then strangled her.
The woman played dead and when she saw an opportunity, attempted to run outside to escape her attacker.
The man caught her behind her residence and beat her with a metal chair. Only when he heard sirens, which turned out to be from a passing ambulance, did he stop his attack on her. The man then loaded her into her own vehicle and dropped her at the emergency room telling staff there that they had been robbed. The man then left the hospital driving the woman’s vehicle.
A few hours later, Warren County Missouri Deputies arrested the man who was still driving the victim’s vehicle enroute back to Illinois and still covered in the victim’s blood.
