Former NFL signee pleads guilty to murdering wife in Park City

A former football player who once signed with the Dallas Cowboys has pleaded guilty to murdering his wife in 2017 in Park City.

Anthony Darnel McClanahan, 47, previously had claimed two or three men had attacked his wife, 28-year-old Keri Colleen "KC" McClanahan, on Nov. 2, 2017. In a pending, unrelated case in Salt Lake County, Anthony McClanahan also is charged with kidnapping his 8-year-old son in Arizona and bringing him to Salt Lake City a month before his wife's homicide.

During the night of the homicide, a neighbor at the McClanahans’ condo complex had called police early that morning to report that a man — who turned out to be Anthony McClanahan — was crawling on his stomach through the corridors.
