Killer Found Bloody And Unconscious In Car

"AUSTIN, TX — An Austin man tried to kill himself after police say he killed his girlfriend.

"Cassandra Clark's body was discovered Sunday at the Lantana Ridge Apartments on William Cannon Drive near Southwest Parkway in Southwest Austin.

"Police say 37-year-old Ryan Kyle Clarke tried to kill himself at a Williamson County park Saturday night. They are not related.

"A Williamson County Sheriff Deputy saw an unconscious Clarke in his car covered in blood with a knife in his right hand and his left wrist cut.

"Clarke was taken to Seton Medical Center. There, he admitted to a social worker that he hurt someone. That social worker called 911 and that's how police found Cassandra Clark's body in the bedroom.

"Police say there were obvious signs on trauma all over the victim's body which was in the bedroom. Police also described the scene as a `violent bloodletting event.`

"Police say the two were dating and moved to Austin from Wisconsin.

"It was also not the first time for police to be at that apartment. In April of 2011, an officer responded after the two were fighting and Clarke apparently threw something at Cassandra's head.

"That officer said the apartment was in shambles. He saw a couch was overturned and a table knocked over."
