In July, 20-year-old Tameria Clark from Mississippi was arrested in connection with the death of 20-year-old Jaderius Webb. Webb’s body was found in a burned vehicle at a Memphis impound lot. Clark faces charges of arson, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. The investigation has been ongoing for several months.
According to a statement obtained by Action News 5, the incident began when the Memphis Police Department and Memphis Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire on Weaver Road and Tully Road. A black 2004 BMW 545i was discovered fully engulfed in flames. Two days later, while officers were conducting an inventory of burned vehicles, they discovered a badly burned body in the BMW’s backseat, later identified as Webb.
Further investigation revealed that Webb had been reported missing by his father on the day of the vehicle fire. Through interviews and social media scrutiny, authorities identified Clark as a suspect. WREG reports that a search warrant executed at Clark’s home uncovered a GMC Terrain linked to the case. Additionally, a video posted on social media on July 20 showed Clark at a party, visibly upset, where she allegedly confessed to having done something that would “send her to jail.”
At the same party, Clark told witnesses that someone had killed a man in her house and left her to clean up the body, as reported by FOX13Memphis. She also admitted to burning the body. Clark was later identified in a six-person photo lineup.
Held on a $500,000 bond, Clark is expected to appear in court today.
