Man arrested in connection with Council Bluffs stabbing death

January 16, 2011 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Authorities in western Iowa say an arrest has been made in Friday night’s stabbing death of a Council Bluffs woman. 

Council Bluffs Police say 47-year old Clarence L. Woolsoncroft, of Council Bluffs, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in the slaying of 39-year old Tammy Lynn Rocha, of Council Bluffs.

Authorities were also seeking 43-year old Bryan E. Reeves, and 22-year old Lisa A. Reeves, for questioning, in connection with the incident. No motive was given for the murder.

Rocha was found by a passerby near the corner of 35th Street and 5th Avenue at around 7 p.m. Friday. Officials said she’d suffered from multiple stab wounds and walked about a half of a block before collapsing on the street. She later died at an Omaha hospital.

The woman had two daughters, and was living with her cousin and his wife in Council Bluffs.
