A second man has now been charged in connection with the murder of a Southern Tier woman last week.
44-year-old Michael Beard of Elmira is accused of helping Thomas Clayton kill Clayton’s wife, Kelley, whose body was discovered inside the couple’s Steuben County home last Tuesday.
WENY-TV reports that the investigation has taken law enforcement to both Steuben and Chemung Counties as possible secondary crime scenes.
Thomas Clayton was a former professional hockey player with the Elmira Jackals. He’s still behind bars in the Steuben County jail.
