Texas Authorities Say Body Might Be Missing Clerk
DALLAS (AP) — A man suspected in the videotaped abduction of a Texas grocery store clerk led investigators Saturday to a body about 50 miles from the small town where the woman went missing, authorities said.
“Right now, we’re 99 percent sure it’s her,” Archer County Sheriff Ed Daniels told The Associated Press.
Mindy Daffern, 46, has been missing since Friday from the store where she worked in Scotland, a town of fewer than 500 people. The store’s surveillance footage shows her being confronted at gunpoint that day by a man who then walked her outside.
Police arrested Wallace Bowman Jr., 30, after recognizing him on the store video, said Daniels, who was a friend of the woman.
