Washita County, OK – A large law enforcement presence from multiple states gathered at Clinton Lake on Friday as part of a joint effort to search the lake for possible evidence in a murder case.
Officials confirmed that local law enforcement is working alongside investigators from California in connection with the case, which has now led authorities to Clinton Lake in northern Washita County.
Washita County Sheriff Kevin Rozell said dive teams and multiple agencies searched the lake for evidence tied to the investigation. California authorities believe key evidence may have been thrown into the water.
Sheriff Rozell confirmed that one item of interest was recovered during the search. The item will undergo DNA testing.
The two suspects connected to the case are already in custody, though it is unclear whether they are being held in Oklahoma or California.
