Colonel Roger D. Stottlemyre, Superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, announces the arrest of Coree L. Shockley, 23, of Van Buren, Missouri, for Tampering with Evidence in connection with the homicide of Sergeant Carl Dewayne Graham Jr.



Coree L. Shockley is the wife of Lance Shockley who was recently arrested for First Degree Murder and Armed Criminal Action in the death of Sergeant Graham.
