horvatt.jpgIt's no surprise that Clint Horvatt has been arrested for the murder of his fiancee, Summer Smith. What is, perhaps, a little surprising, is that another man has been arrested as well. One 53-year-old William Dewey Foster is also in the Putnam County (FL) jail, and he's been charged with First Degree Murder. Investigation by Putnam County authorities showed that Horvatt allegedly contacted Foster last November. Clint allegedly needed someone to kill Summer. He and Foster talked about the murder a number of times before Summer was murdered. The whole thing, police say, was staged. Clint Horvatt wanted it to look like a robbery.

I was recently contacted by one of Clint Horvatt's exes. She is still so afraid of him still that she refuses to allow her name to be published. Out of deference to her fear of him, I chose not to write about what she told me until Clint was behind bars -- as I was sure he would be.

Clint, she told me, "was always physical," and she thought he might "strangle or beat someone to death, rather than some elaborate murder"

Clint Horvatt, according to my source, "hides his true nature from everyone, that is for sure."

There was much more -- including allegations that he committed a wide variety of violent crimes as well as theft in the past. It seems more clear than ever that Clint may be a semi-well-concealed psychopath whose manipulations and machinations have finally failed him.

According to First Coast News, police are still searching for the weapon used to kill Summer Smith. [FirstCoastNews.com]
