A tragic turn of events unfolded in North Carolina as a woman was arrested for the alleged murder of her ex-Green Beret husband, whose dismembered body was found in a pond. Shana Cloud, 50, now faces charges of first-degree murder and concealment of death following a thorough investigation into the disappearance of her husband, Clinton “Clint” Bonnell, 50.
Reports suggest that Bonnell had informed his wife about his intention to seek a divorce, prompting a series of events leading to his disappearance. His girlfriend revealed to authorities that Bonnell had met with an attorney and discussed divorce proceedings with Cloud the night before he went missing.

As a retired Army medic pursuing a career as a physician assistant, Bonnell was described as a devoted individual committed to making a positive impact on the world.
The investigation into his disappearance took a grim turn when Bonnell’s dismembered body was discovered in a pond, missing arms and legs. A resident’s 911 call alerted authorities to the disturbing sight, leading to the confirmation of Bonnell’s identity through DNA analysis.
In a heartfelt statement, Bonnell’s family mourned his untimely death and called for justice to be served. They described him as an exceptional individual who had selflessly dedicated his life to helping others, making his loss all the more devastating.
