Well, gentle reader, I have been scouring the media for any mention of our flaxen haired miracle of murderous madness and am pleased to provide you with the following news item.

Man charged with removing body from windshield

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) --A man has been charged with evidence tampering in the death of a homeless man who authorities say was hit by a car and left lodged in the windshield until he died.

According to an indictment, Clete Jackson removed the man's body from the car and dumped him in a park to try to conceal the hit-and-run.

A friend of his, Chante Mallard, 26, allegedly told police she was returning from a nightclub October 26 when she hit the homeless man. She said she was scared and drove home with him in the windshield.

Jackson, 27, was arrested June 21 after a Tarrant County grand jury returned the indictment. He remained jailed Tuesday on nearly $106,000 bail. His attorney, William Harris, declined to comment, citing a gag order.

Mallard was indicted in April for murder and evidence tampering in the death of Gregory Biggs, 37, a former bricklayer living in a homeless shelter. She remains jailed on $250,000 bail.

A tipster came forward months later and told police Mallard had talked and laughed about the alleged hit-and-run while at a party.

Authorities say Biggs could have survived with medical attention.

So far there is no photo of Clete. We don't know if he is as expressive as Chante yet. As soon as a photo surfaces, I'll get it to you.

As for Clete, I'm betting he turns states evidence and gets a drastically reduced sentence. That's my prediction. I'm glued to my monitor looking for further developments.

And I promise that the next entry won't be another news item. Unless it's really really good.
