GLENDIVE, Mont. –A suspect wanted for questioning in connection with the death of a Kansas woman is expected in court in Montana Friday, according to Dawson County jail warden Tom Green.

Just after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, deputies arrested 34-year-old Clinton W. Rogers in Glendive Montana, on a warrant for theft out of Kingman County, Kansas, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The KBI believes Rogers stole a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro in Kingman County on August 2 on his way to Montana.

 Rogers is the person of interest who authorities believe is connected to the homicide of 61-year-old Joyce Foulkrod in Medicine Lodge.

On July 27, a family member called 911 after finding Foulkrod deceased inside her home at 3 Whitney Lane in Medicine Lodge. EMS, the Medicine Lodge Police Department, and the Barber County Sheriff’s Office responded. EMS pronounced her dead at the scene.

Preliminary information leads investigators to believe Foulkrod’s death was a homicide

KBI agents are traveling to Montana, where they will question Rogers. He has been uncooperative since his arrest and the booking process that started Tuesday was not completed until Friday morning, according to Green.  If Rogers waives extradition, authorities will bring him immediately back to Kansas.
