On June 18, 2004 investigators in rural Texas found twelve pounds of charred remains inside a burning Chevrolet. It was presumed to be the body of Clayton Wayne Daniels.
In fact, Daniels had exhumed the body of Charlotte Davis. He then dressed her in his clothing, put her in his car, burned it, and pushed it over a cliff. He and his wife, Molly, later attempted to use the insurance money to pay for flights to Mexico to have plastic surgery on Clayton’s face.
The documents and artifacts displayed here were found near Burnett County, Texas in 2009.
