Boyfriend Charged in Dundalk Woman's Murder

The boyfriend of a Dundalk woman who was reported missing has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

Clyde Campbell, 53, of the 1700 block of Manor Road in North Point, is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, police said.

Officers took him into custody Monday morning for a weapons violation, according to the Baltimore County Police Department, whose officers were interested in speaking with him regarding the disappearance of his girlfriend, Dorothy Grubb, 60.

Grubb’s daughter reported her mother missing Saturday, concerned because she hadn’t heard from her since Thursday, and Grubb and Campbell—who lived together—had a history of domestic violence, police said.

Neither Campbell nor Grubb could be tracked down until authorities took Campbell into custody on Merritt Boulevard for a weapons violation Monday morning, according to police.

Officials found Grubb’s body on the side of Peninsula Expressway Tuesday night, and on Wednesday evening, police said Campbell was charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.

A preliminary hearing in his case is slated for Aug. 29 in the Baltimore County District Court.
