For Love, Aryan Brotherhood Killer Confesses

"He shut down a lot of shit. Things pretty much came to a halt."

Jameton says he told Clark he knew he was either a cop or an informant and told him he needed to "get lost" for his own safety, but Clark wouldn't listen.

On one afternoon in August of 2006, he says, he picked Clark up from a Bedford hospital and took him to a house in Mesquite where a group of friends were having a barbecue. At some point that afternoon he says he became upset with Clark and took him out on the back porch and beat him (according to a police affidavit, a group of Jameton's associates beat the man until he was unconscious). After the beating, Jameton says, he told everyone at the house to leave.

He then put Clark into a Ford Explorer and told him: "This is your final warning. Get the fuck out of here."

"But by that point," Jameton says, "I had already made up my mind. 'Fuck it. I'm just going to take care of it.'"

He says he laid Clark down in the backseat and drove him to a friend's house near Dowdy Ferry Road, where he stole a tarp and some chain-link fencing. He says he rolled Clark, who was still alive, in the tarp and then rolled him in the fencing and used a winch to hoist his body into the back of a truck. He says he then drove to a pond in the Trinity River bottoms and swam Clark out to the middle, where he slit his throat and let him sink. He had previously tied cinderblocks to his body.

As for the other murder, he is less forthcoming. He will only say that a woman (who police have identified as Hankins' former girlfriend) was sexually tortured for two and a half hours in a Mesquite-area house and then strangled. He wouldn't say who killed her other than insisting that McClellan had nothing to do with it.

A few days later, Jameton said he forced McClellan to come with him to collect money from two associates who owed him on a drug transaction. After taking $700 from the men and a plasma screen TV, Jameton says he drove the men to an ATM and forced them to withdraw as much cash as they could. He then put zip ties around their necks. He says he wasn't planning to strangle them; the zip ties were connected so if one tried to run the other would have to follow.

He says he was returning to his house when he saw that it was surrounded by police officers. Not knowing why they were there, but figuring it had something to do with the murder of Clark or the unidentified woman, he let the men go near a Mesquite park and fled. He says he and McClellan went to Corsicana and checked in to a motel room, where they stayed until a friend beeped him on his pager, telling him he was needed back in Dallas. It was on his way back to Dallas that the chase began which ended with the cops shooting his tires out. He had planned to go out like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, guns blazing, until McClellan snatched his gun and threw it out the window.

That act sealed their love, and now Clark is determined to do whatever it takes to get her out of jail. He says he will never testify against his co-defendants, but he could help the police in other ways.

"If they would drop the charges against my wife, I could help them find the body [of the unidentified woman]," he says. "I know where it is. And that would give her family closure."
