Former WSU Football Star Suspect In Murder Case

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - Anthony McClanahan, a former WSU star who went on to play for the Dallas Cowboys, is accused of murdering his wife, the Associated Press reported. Prosecutors told the AP that McClanahan has been arrested but not yet charged for the murder of Keri “KC” McClanahan, who was found in a Park City hotel with stab wounds to her throat. He is being held without bail.

Anthony McClanahan, 46, was charged with child kidnapping Friday. He allegedly picked up his eight-year-old son from an Arizona school on Oct. 3 without the mother's permission and then traveled to Nevada and Utah. He was caught Oct. 13 and returned the child, according to the AP report.

McClanahan played linebacker for WSU from 1991 to 1993. People Magazine reported that Anthony and Keri wed in January in Bellingham.
