Lake Yields No Evidence in Kaufman County Deaths

DALLAS (AP/Staff) – A search of a North Texas lake did not find weapons or evidence linked to the killings of the Kaufman County district attorney, his wife, and an assistant D.A. A law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday that a dive team came up empty in a search of Lake Tawakoni, east of Dallas. The official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Authorities were acting on a tip in the deaths last year of District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife Cynthia, and prosecutor Mark Hasse. Ex-Justice of the Peace Eric Williams (pictured) and his wife Kim are charged with capital murder. Spokesmen for state and local authorities confirmed a search on Wednesday but declined to elaborate.
