CHARGED IN MURDER: Carter Wilcoxson

Sherwood police today announced Carter Wilcoxson had been charged with capital murder in the slaying of Katherine Cleary, 74, whose body was found in August near the Galloway exit of Interstate 40.

Police had been searching for Clearly since responding to a home alarm and finding her gone. Her car was also missing, but later found about two miles from where her body was found.

Police arrested two women who’d made purchases with Clearly’s credit card at a Walmart. Rhonda Glassburner-Strong, 51, of North Little Rock, was charged with tampering/obstruction of evidence, theft by receiving and fraudulent use of a credit card. Sonia Bell, 39, of Jacksonville, was charged with theft by receiving. But they’ve continued to work on a case against the killer.


Wilcoxson became acquainted with Cleary while working for a neighbor, police said. He’s been in custody since August on drug and parole violation charges.
