Murder conviction brings life sentence with possibility of parole

Tuesday, Dec. 15, 1998 | 9:41 a.m.

Clarence Elliott professed his innocence at his sentencing Monday. He was convicted of killing Barbara Turner-Elliott, who disappeared after shopping at a grocery story.

Family and friends of the woman launched a massive search, which ended in May 1996 when her bullet-riddled body was found in a wash near Red Rock Canyon.

The husband was indicted a year later on a murder charge.

Friends said Elliott appeared unconcerned about his wife's disappearance and she had been planning on divorcing him.
