Jan David Clark Got Set Up By Satan
February 4, 2008 by impqueen
Odessa, TX – In my Exorcism For Dummies book, there is nothing about lying on top of your wife to get the demons out. But that’s what a West Odessa man was doing on FridayFriday reviews
night when Susan Kay Clark, 59, died. Jan David Clark, 60, told investigators that he was performing an exorcism to remove demons from his wife’s body when Satan entered his body and murdered Clark’s wife.
Clark was arrested Friday after police answered a call from a friend of Clark’s, who said that Clark had called to say that Susan Clark was dead. On arrival, officers found Susan Kay Clark’s body wrapped in a bed sheet with a sword and cross on top of it. Clark told investigators he had his wife pinned face down on their carpeted master bathroom floor when she died.
Family members and friends report a happy married couple who gave no sign of any trouble in their relationship and denied knowledge of any demonic possession or previous exorcisms. Taryn Beck, 29, is a step-granddaughter of Susan Clark. She says that “They were like an old married couple. They would just roll their eyes at each other but I never thought something like this would’ve happened.”
But Beck also said that Clark, who goes by David, was kind to her children in an almost creepy way. “David was playing with my two kids and we was trying to teach them to play baseball and he showed them their fish they had in the back yard,” she said.
“I always thought David was nice but sometimes I thought he was almost too nice,” she said.Susan Clark’s body was taken to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy. Jan David Clark was charged with murder and is being held in the Ector County jail in lieu of $300,000 bail.

Ah, yes… “de debbil made meh do it”.
And who the hell puts carpet in a *bathroom*? That right there should have told everyone that the old man was weak-willed and susceptible to Satanic influence.
No offense to Satan, of course.

The devil is suppose to tell you to kill people, he’s the devil, come on. When the devil gets in your head remember your happy pills.

That doesn’t sound creepy to me – sounds like a normal guy being a grandpa. Okay…in this case – not normal, but still..I don’t see how those things mentioned by his step-granddaughter is creepy, unless he was teaching them to play baseball while holding his own bat and balls, or showing them his fish with his little worm…

That depends on what he meant by fish I think.
Totally creepy, but he has the freedom to practice his religion so I see him walking on this one.

My God, I’m dying of laughter!
I saw a house in which the people had put a parquet wooden floor in their bathroom. With a bunch of drunken males pissing AT the toilet, you can imagine what took place over time.

Wow, I’m actually from Odessa. I didn’t expect to see this story on the DD! I expect to see this guy plead insanity, but I hear that’s pretty difficult to get in Texas. Ector County has a good D.A., he’ll go for the dp.

Have the police asked WWSD for his alibi yet? I mean if WWSD has an air tight alibi, that would definitely poke holes in David’s story.

Article w/ picture, the link in #10 is actually just a death notice, she had a much nicer obit in today’s paper but I can’t find an internet link.

I haven’t seen WWSD around here for a few…maybe he DID make this guy do it….good theory, TJ!

Hey, I may have whispered in his ear once or twice but, I didn’t tell him to wrap his wife in a sheet and then put a sword on top of her>
I mean, that’s just WEIRD!!!

TalkingJesus — your gravatar is so funny. It really looks as if Jesus is saying these things. I’m going to try to get my wrybread avatar right now!

My TalkingJesus doesn’t talk…and people here are going to start giving me weird-ass looks if I keep staring at a 1/4″ high Jesus on my screen much longer! LOL
