Former Calgary Stampeder Anthony McClanahan has been charged with murder in the death of his 28-year-old wife Keri, “KC” McClanahan.
Prosecutors say the former professional football player sliced his wife’s neck and then crawled on the ground outside their rented Utah condominium before flagging down a police officer.
Murder charges filed Monday against 46-year-old Anthony D. McClanahan say the bloody Nov. 2 scene in Park City indicated his 28-year-old wife Keri “KC” McClanahan put up a desperate struggle.
