She told me to call 911 then he goes to Lisa and rips the bag off and she's tied up too and she's got like a pile of blood on the floor but a bag over her head and then dry blood on the side of her head."
Maytee Clarke says she won't sleep until detectives find the people who killed the couple Her son Johnny. "was a football player for Bowsher. He was going to barber school."

Sheriff deputies checked the house on Longacre Lane twice and found nothing. Johnny's parents went to the home. "There's a back window but the blinds are closed but they're just cracked enough where you can look down in them.My husband looks in. He says he sees Johnny's cell phone like in one corner in the room and then my little cousin is looking in and she says she sees my son there tied up."
That's when Johnny's dad kicked in the front door. Johnny's mother has a message for the people who committed the crime: "There is no apologizing for what you have done to these kids and my son."
According to court documents, John Clarke was convicted of robbery in 2007. He did a year and two months in prison and was just released in June of 2009.
