First Clues In Baylor Hoops Mystery

SHOOT SUIT: Jason Mewes sued over aborted heroin documentary.

JULY 1--Investigators probing the apparent murder of a Baylor University basketball player have implicated one of the athlete's teammates in his disappearance, according to the below search warrant affidavit. Police in Waco, Texas have fingered Carlton Dotson as a suspect in the disappearance of Patrick Dennehy, who has been missing nearly three weeks. According to informant information quoted in the affidavit, Dotson, a 21-year-old junior forward, killed his friend Dennehy, 21, after the pair argued while shooting guns near Baylor's campus. After Dennehy allegedly pointed a gun at him, Dotson "shot his roommate in the head with a 9mm pistol," according to the police informant, who told cops he learned of the killing from a cousin of Dotson's who said he had spoken with the basketball player about the incident. According to the snitch, Dotson disposed of the murder weapon on the drive back to his home in Hurlock, Maryland. The affidavit was filed in support of a police request to search Dennehy's computer for clues to his disappearance. (4 pages)
