The Wyoming Division of Criminal investigation, a statewide law enforcement agency, has announced the arrest of a 59 year old Iowa Man on a cold case murder investigation dating back to Wyoming in the early 90s.
Agents with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Investigators with the 22nd Judicial District Attorney’s office of Tennessee arrested Clark Perry Baldwin, age 59, of Waterloo, Iowa for the death of “1-90 Jane Doe”, “Bitter Creek Betty” and
Pamela McCall.
The arrest was made in Waterloo, Iowa at Baldwin’s residence.
Baldwin is being charged in Wyoming with First Degree Murder in two Wyoming cases that DCI identified as “I-90 Jane Doe,” out of Sheridan County, and “Bitter Creek Betty,” out of Sweetwater County.
Additionally, Baldwin is being charged in Tennessee with two counts of First Degree murder in the 1991 death of Pamela McCall and her unborn fetus.
DCI reports the case began in March of 1992, when a female was found deceased near the Bitter Creek turnout in Sweetwater County Wyoming. The investigation was initiated and investigated by the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s office but after time grew “cold”. During the course of the investigation the victim was not identified and became known to the investigators as “Bitter Creek Betty”.
In April of 1992 another deceased female body was discovered in Sheridan County by State of Wyoming DOT employees. The investigation was initiated and investigated by the Sheridan County Sheriff’s office but
again the case grew “cold”. During the course of the investigation the victim was not identified and became known to the investigators as “I-90 Jane Doe”.
“Investigators did all they could and exhausted all the technology available to them at that time. I-90 Jane Doe and Bitter Creek Betty remain unidentified,” a DCI statement said Wednesday. “The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation joined the investigation of ‘Bitter Creek Betty’ and ‘I-90 Jane Doe’ and worked hand in hand with local Investigators and prosecutors.”
“Due to advances in technology, they were able to link Baldwin to the crime and arrest him on first degree murder charges from Sheridan and Sweetwater counties,” DCI continued.
