Cabarrus County killer is up for parole from 1978 murder

CABARRUS COUNTY, N.C. ( QUEEN CITY NEWS ) — Roger Warren Clark, a convicted Cabarrus County killer, is up for parole. The crimes gripped a community decades ago. The killer got life in prison, but it doesn’t mean he’ll stay there.

On Tuesday, the family of victim Phoebe Barbee, along with the Cabarrus County District Attorney and Sheriff Van Shaw, all traveled to Raleigh to meet with a parole commissioner to demand that the killer not be let out of prison.

Queen City News Anchor Robin Kanady spoke exclusively with the family of Phoebe Barbee, the woman who was killed, in their fight for justice.

Their childhood seemed idyllic.

“They called us the Midland girls,” said Sonja Barbee, Phoebe’s sister.

At first, it was just Phoebe and Sonja. Then along came Amy.

Phoebe was the big sister to both.
