Megan Moody Clark, 29, was found shot to death in a motel room at the Elsberry Motel and Lodge in Elsberry, Missouri. Deputies were called on July 1, 2018 for a suspicious death; the Major Case Squad took over after investigators determined she had been shot multiple times. Surveillance footage showed Megan, her husband Rico Terrell Clark Jr., and their infant daughter entering the room together, and later captured only Rico and the child leaving. Audio from the motel camera recorded gunshots during the relevant time.

Authorities located Rico Clark at the Redwood Motel in Godfrey, Illinois; his vehicle, a Dodge Magnum, was in the parking lot and he was arrested. He initially denied involvement and declined a polygraph, DNA sample, and gunshot residue testing. While jailed he confessed to another inmate that he killed Megan and disposed of the weapon. He was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and later pleaded guilty. Megan’s obituary described her as a certified nursing assistant and a victim of domestic violence who was kind and compassionate.

Did anyone know Megan or have information about her movements or relationships in the days before July 1, 2018?
