A convicted killer who escaped from a New Mexico prison more than 20 years ago was caught after being stopped for driving alone in a car pool lane in Washington state. Clarence McCoy pleaded guilty in 1978 to strangling his wife, 21-year-old Donna McCoy. Her body was found in a shallow grave in southern New Mexico. He was serving a 2- to 10-year sentence when he escaped in November 1978 from a state prison south of Albuquerque. He was 27 at the time. During the June 15 traffic stop, McCoy's name was put through a computer background check which produced his criminal background. McCoy is fighting extradition to New Mexico. |
