Prosecutors Seek To Extradite Death Row Inmate

Lisa Hill became a widow at age 21 when her young husband was shot and left to die in the New Mexico desert after he was kidnapped by two fugitives. Texas prosecutors hope to extradite Kentucky death row inmate 55 year old Michael Dale St. Clair and 52 year old Dennis Gene Reese, an inmate at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, in the next few weeks. A grand jury in New Mexico handed up indictments against St. Clair and Reese in April for the 1991 slaying of 22 year old Timothy Keeling. Lisa Hill of Dallas began pushing for charges in the death of her husband in October, after seeing St. Clair condemned to execution for a slaying in Kentucky. Reese is an Oklahoma prisoner serving life for other crimes.
