AUSTIN – Using modern forensic testing, investigators have now identified the man responsible for the brutal murder of a woman at an Amarillo park nearly 30 years ago. That additional testing identified him as a positive match in Convington’s case. Through further investigation, it was learned McClinton had a documented history of knife assaults against women – including multiple incidents strikingly similar to Convington’s case. For the next two years, the Amarillo Police Department and Texas Rangers worked diligently with the Texas Attorney General’s Office to prosecute McClinton for Convington’s murder – but McClinton passed away before the case could be presented to a grand jury. The Texas Rangers would like to thank our partners, including the Amarillo Police Department and DPS’ Crime Laboratory Division, for their years of commitment and dedication to identify McClinton and solve Convington’s case.
