— PLATTSBURGH -- Accused murderer Glen D. Race is due in Clinton County on Thursday.
According to State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation Capt. Robert LaFountain, a team of State Police investigators left Tuesday for Texas, where the Nova Scotia man is being held in a Brownsville jail.
Race, 26, is charged with second-degree murder in the May 10 shooting death of Mooers father of two Darcy Manor. He is also accused of the homicides of two men in the Halifax, Nova Scotia, area.
Police believe Race fled Halifax in a black 1994 two-door Honda Civic stolen from a victim there, somehow crossed into the United States from Quebec and then, after killing Manor at a secluded Mooers camp and stealing his pickup truck, drove to Texas.
Manor's pickup was found in the Houston area and has been brought back to Clinton County.
Race was arrested by a Border Patrol agent near the Mexican border and has been held in Texas on a charge of assaulting a federal officer since then. After refusing, by lack of response in court, to waive extradition to New York state, Race agreed to do so in a later appearance.
A team of investigators from Canada traveled to Brownsville over the weekend to question Race.
He will be arraigned upon arrival in Clinton County, likely in Mooers Town Court.
