A Georgia man has been indicted for the 1982 murder of an Arizona military woman.
This week, a Chattahoochee County Grand Jury indicted Marcellus McCluster, age 64, formerly of Richland, GA, for the murder of René Dawn Blackmore, then age 20.
On June 28, 1982, Blackmore’s remains were discovered off a logging road a few miles further south in Chattahoochee County. She had been killed by a shotgun blast. U.S. Army CID and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation identified McCluster as a possible offender within a year, but the original investigation eventually stalled.In late 2020, GBI Director Vic Reynolds established the agency’s Cold Case Unit composed of retired GBI investigators.
GBI agents subsequently served McCluster with an arrest warrant at a Georgia Department of Corrections facility near Augusta, GA where he is serving a life sentence for an unrelated 1983 Stewart County murder conviction. Arraignment in Chattahoochee County is scheduled for April 25, 2022.
