Spring Hill, Tenn. — After more than three decades, justice has been served in a haunting cold case that left a pregnant woman’s life and the life of her unborn child brutally cut short. Clark Baldwin, a truck driver linked to multiple killings, was convicted on May 2, 2025, for the first-degree murder of Pamela McCall, whose body was discovered in Spring Hill, Tennessee, in 1991.
Pamela McCall, 33, was found on May 10, 1991, near Saturn Parkway, just off the ramp for Port Royal Road. Authorities responded to a call around 12:30 p.m. when a passerby discovered McCall’s lifeless body. Her clothing had been torn, and she had sustained severe injuries to her face and neck. An autopsy revealed the cause of death to be strangulation, and further examination confirmed that McCall was 24 weeks pregnant at the time of her death. Tragically, both she and her unborn child lost their lives.
The investigation into McCall’s death initially pointed to the possibility that she had been traveling with a semi-truck driver at the time of her murder. This early lead went cold, but the case remained open as detectives continued to pursue leads over the years.
In 2019, a breakthrough came when Baldwin’s DNA matched evidence from McCall’s case as well as from two similar homicides in Wyoming from 1992. These two women, whose bodies were also discovered in remote areas, were believed to have been killed by a truck driver. Baldwin’s history of attacks on women, including an incident in Texas where one victim managed to escape, further linked him to the crimes.
Baldwin, who was arrested in May 2020 in Iowa, was extradited to Tennessee to stand trial for the murders of McCall and her unborn child. During the trial, Baldwin’s only statement was an unsettling admission: “I don’t remember.” His demeanor in court was described as eerie, with reports indicating that the only expression Baldwin ever showed was an unsettling smile.
The conviction came after more than four hours of deliberation by the jury. Following the verdict, Baldwin was immediately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He is currently being held at the Maury County Jail in Tennessee, awaiting extradition to Wyoming, where he faces additional charges in connection with the two unsolved homicides from 1992.
Assistant District Attorney Ross Boudreaux, who worked on the case, expressed satisfaction with the conviction, noting the closure it brought to McCall’s family. “It’s a long-awaited step toward justice,” he said. “Our thoughts remain with the family of Pamela McCall as they begin to heal from this tragedy.”
The case also marked a significant moment for the Spring Hill Police Department, whose members had worked tirelessly on the investigation over the years. One officer, who had been involved in the case from the beginning, was able to place the handcuffs on Baldwin after the conviction was read.
District Attorney Brent Cooper, who made solving cold cases a priority upon taking office, praised the efforts of his team. “Thanks to the dedication of Assistant DAs like Pam Anderson and Ross Boudreaux, as well as investigators like Tommy Goetz and Jeff Dunn, we’ve been able to fulfill my promise to solve as many cold cases as possible,” he said. “Our prayers are with the family of Pamela McCall, and we’re committed to continuing our work to bring closure to other victims.”
Baldwin’s conviction is a pivotal moment in a case that had lingered for decades. As he faces life behind bars, prosecutors are hopeful that additional charges will be brought against him in Wyoming, ensuring that he will be held accountable for the other murders linked to him.
For McCall’s family, the conviction provides a long-awaited sense of justice and a small measure of peace after years of uncertainty. As the legal proceedings continue in Wyoming, the hope remains that Baldwin’s conviction in Tennessee is just the beginning of bringing all his victims the justice they deserve.
