Pueblo man arrested after burying dead mother in homemade coffin

A Pueblo man accused of burying his mother's body in a homemade casket is under arrest.

Pueblo County sheriff's deputies say 44-year-old Clark Raymond Williams was arrested on charges of concealing a death, abusing a corpse and trespassing after he was found at a freshly covered grave in Roselawn Cemetery early yesterday.

Deputies say Williams told them his mother died of natural causes a month ago and he had just buried her.

Coroner James Kramer identified the dead woman as 75-year-old Ruth Eileen Williams.

Sheriff's officials say there was no evidence of foul play, but the cause of death is still unknown.

Ruth Williams was the former wife of former Pueblo County Commissioner Charles Williams.

True, but I see this as more tragic than anything else right now. His motives and his mental health will be thoroughly scrutinized.

If he were truly trying to hide her death and burial, why select a cemetary instead of his own back yard or somewhere out in the boonies?

I'm thinking stretched bluish skin, some busy maggots working here and there and a gawd awful stentch, and possibly wrapped in a white bed sheet, lying face up in his home made casket, with maybe a bouquet of wild flowers in her hands.

Film at
11:00 -- too late for that now.
