Interrogation of Anthony Watson | Nov. 3, 2011 | Johnny Clarke & Lisa Straub murder investigation

In the search for suspects in the 2011 murder case of Johnny Clarke and Lisa Straub, a friend of Johnny's who received close attention was Anthony Watson. Johnny was talking to a family friend at 10:41 - just before the call from friend Tiffany Williams - and told him, according to a Clarke family member, that he was waiting for Watson to stop by. In an initial March interview, Anthony Watson told police that the men were planning to meet up, but when it got too late into the night, he told Johnny that he had to get up early for school in the morning and he would not be able to meet. But in November, Watson was brought from the county jail, after being arrested on a felony burglary charge, to meet again with Kozak. He wanted to tell of a conversation that he had weeks before with a woman. He said the woman placed herself at the scene of the crime. He also named Sam Williams. "Johnny sees Sam. . ... Saw, pushed them back inside, and when it all went bad," he told Kozak. He also claimed the woman told him there was a man named "Dro" and a second woman. He said they were looking for a safe that was rumored to be in the home. At the time of Watson's second interview, Williams and Cameo Pettaway - whose DNA was also on the cigarette - were already in jail and many of the details he told were being speculated about in the media. However, at the end of the interview, Kozak told Watson's attorney that he would talk to the prosecutor. Watson expressed fear for his family's safety after naming multiple people. He was never called to testify in the trials of Williams or Pettaway. There is no paperwork on it being because of his cooperation with detectives, but Watson's felony count was lowered to a minor misdemeanor, which he pleaded guilty to and received probation. On Sept. 19, 2018, an unknown person gunned down Watson outside his Macomber apartment. The murder remains unsolved. MORE: https://www.wtol.com/article/news/inv...
