Eric Clark, Constance Harris Clark:

TV One Will Involving Alabama Native

Eric Clark's story and Constance Harris' new episode of Fatal Attraction Monday night will air on TV One. The one-hour documentary discusses the strange murder case that captured the country in 2005. That year in Georgia, 35-year-old Eric Clark, alias William Eric Clark, was brutally shot and killed. Under the Atlanta Journal Constitution, his wife, Constance Clark, alias Constance Harris, was the mastermind behind the scheme to kill her husband for insurance money.

Constance Harris thought she met her dream husband when she first looked at beautiful Eric Clark. But what began as a match made in heaven quickly collapsed as marriage began to crumble.

When Constance finally had enough, she conceived a plan to kill her husband. The killing was on December 13, 2005. Law enforcement officials say that was the day Eric Clark was lured to Georgia to buy bulk alcohol for his bar business. The intention was to meet his wife's cousin, but instead of taking Eric Clark to buy the alcohol, police say he was ambushed by a gunfire.

Officers arrived there, finding the body of an African-American male lying dead with multiple bullet wounds on the body.

As detectives processed the scene, the body of the deceased man found a wallet. Birmingham, Alabama's William Eric Clark identified the victim.

Witnesses told investigators after the shooting, a burgundy car and a silver car raced off the crime scene.

Georgia homicide detectives then had the grim job of notifying Constance, the victim's widow, that her husband was dead. They asked her what her husband had in Georgia. She told them he intended to meet her cousin, Jean Pierre Devaughn, 29, to buy liquor for his business.

Once police interrogated Devaughn, he said he had no idea what had happened to Eric Clark. But just as the police ended the interview with Jean Pierre Devaugh, they realized his car was the same make, color, and model described by the witnesses. That was enough for police to begin digging through his phone records—which showed that Jean Pierre Devaughn had made contact with a man named Christopher Tumlin before and after the fatal shooting.

Tumlin eventually said it all. He told police that Devaughn asked for a pistol to kill her husband in Alabama. Devaughn and Tumlin are currently in a Georgia state correctional facility. Constance Shinell Clark serves time in Alabama until 2018. She'll then serve her life sentence plus five years in Georgia.
