IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Investigators in Iowa have arrested a former long-haul trucker suspected of killing two women in Wyoming and a third in Tennessee in the early 1990s. Police arrested 58-year-old Clark Perry Baldwin on Wednesday at his home in Waterloo, Iowa, on warrants from Tennessee and Wyoming charging him in the three killings. He’s being held in the Black Hawk County jail pending extradition proceedings. The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation says in a news release that “advances in technology” linked Baldwin to the crimes. He’s charged in the 1992 killings of two unidentified women in Wyoming and the 1991 slaying in Tennessee of a pregnant woman, Pamela McCall, and her fetus.

As part of his plea, an attempted murder charge was dropped. Prosecutors said Walls was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for a traffic violation. He fled on foot as the trooper was trying to arrest him for a domestic assault warrant. As he was being pursued, Walls fired twice at the trooper, who was not hit and did not return fire.
