A fellow airman has now been charged in the death of Clinton Reeves. Airman First Class James Devinn Thomas, 24, was indicted for first and second degree homicide. Reeves, 22, failed to show up for duty in mid-April after collecting an insurance settlement. His body was found three weeks later in Eagle River. Thomas was in a different unit than Reeves but the two were said to be friends. Thomas was also indicted on a robbery charge as well as multiple counts of evidence tampering.
Neither the indictment nor police have explained the circumstances of Reeves’ death.
Police Lt. Dave Parker says Thomas’ bail has been set at $100,000. Arraignment is scheduled Tuesday in Superior Court.
