Anthony Darnel McClanahan briefly played for the 90s Cowboys, but now he is in jail for murdering his wife.
Here are the details.
A former Dallas Cowboys player has been arrested on suspicion of his wife’s murder after her body was found in a Utah condo.
Anthony Darnel McClanahan, 46, is believed to have stabbed 28-year-old Keri ‘KC’ McClanahan repeatedly in the throat in the Park Regency Resort condominiums on Thursday.
And on Friday, charges were filed against him for allegedly kidnapping his son from school last month – behavior that he had allegedly tried to blame on injuries from his NFL days, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
When police entered the condo they found Keri’s body lying in her bed, with knife wounds on her throat.
McClanahan had blamed his reportedly unusual behavior on injuries sustained while playing football.
It’s not clear quite what was meant by that, but it’s possible that McClanahan had intended to blame CTE – the degenerative brain disorder blamed for Aaron Hernandez’s violent impulses.
Wow that is a lot to digest.
