Starved child died as mother linked to man in Las Vegas
In Lawton Oklahoma a 6-year-old boy Melvin Ward reportedly starved to death after being kept in a closet for over a week for not saying his ABCs. Brenda Carr, his mother, surrendered in Lawton facing murder charges and claimed she was coerced by Larry Gough who buried the body and forced her into topless dancing in Las Vegas. Marriages, arrests, and multiple warrants linked to the case mix with a separate Houston Jacinto City trial alleging police abuse and coercion in a different murder confession connected to Terry Clifford and Allan Jamail.
