Two members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT) have been charged in the kidnapping and murder of another member of that violent, racist gang.
Lisa Gibby, 41, and Dalton Clayton, 21, were indicted on capital murder by terroristic threat in Grayson County, Texas, and may face the death penalty if convicted, KTEN-TV in Denison reported over the weekend.
The two are charged in the death Albert Duane Parker, also an ABT member, whose body was found on May 21 in a field east of Sherman, Texas. The indictment alleges Gibby and Clayton killed Parker by “stabbing him with a knife or sharp bladed object.” There is no mention of motive in the charging document.
“The victim was kidnapped before he was killed,” Joe Brown, Grayson County District Attorney, told the television station. “We’re working through the evidence, but we certainly know the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas is involved in this case.”
Brown said investigators are exploring several possible motives for the killing. “Significantly, we don’t have to prove motive. We don’t have to prove why it happened.”
When the murder indictment was filed on Friday, Gibby and Dalton were already jailed on drug and weapons charges. Their previous criminal history, combined with allegedly kidnapping Parker before killing him, make them candidates for the death penalty.
