A Cave City man appeared before a judge in court for the first time Monday (8/22) since being charged with murder.
Fifty three year-old Clark Smith is charged with killing 22 year-old Kristen Edwards before putting her body inside a tote bag and dumping it in the Green River. In a court document released Monday, police said Smith admitted to killing Edwards before disposing of her body and personal items.
It was determined that Edwards was killed on July 14, at EP Terry Estates in Cave City. It’s the apartment complex where Smith lived. It’s also the place where Kristen Edwards’ grandmother lived next door to Smith.
A not guilty plea was entered on Smith’s behalf by a judge since his charges are felonies and can only be resolved in circuit court.
Smith is charged with murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence. Smith is scheduled next in court for a preliminary hearing on August 30.
