North Carolina authorities have arrested a retired Green Beret’s wife in connection with his disappearance and murder.

Shana Cloud is charged with first-degree murder and concealment of death after authorities found her missing husband, Clinton Bonnell, in a body of water in Fayetteville on Tuesday after receiving a phone call “in reference to human remains,” the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.

Bonnell, 50, had been missing since Jan. 28, when a Methodist University employee requested a wellness check on Bonnell at a residence in Fayetteville. 

The former Green Beret had been attending the university’s physician assistant program and “failed to attend class” on the morning of Jan. 28.

Methodist University President Stanley T. Wearden also issued a statement on March 29, saying he has “no words to heal your broken hearts.”

“All I can offer is my care and sympathy. We will do all we can to minister to your needs during this time of heavy grief. Please offer grace and care to one another, and let your faculty and staff know whenever you need help or support,” Wearden said in a statement.

He requested members of the community to “keep Clint’s family/friends/classmates in your thoughts, respect their privacy, be mindful of comments on social media, and continue to take care of yourselves and all fellow Monarchs.”

A GoFundMe that was created to help search for Bonnell when he was still considered missing says he served in the Army over a 20-year span and worked as a Green Beret medic.
