The woman said she moved to Missouri City from Arkansas in July after reconnecting with Clark. She said they were homeless and had been living in her car while she worked delivering groceries. The woman told investigators that they sometimes parked at the Hometowne Senior Living Apartments where Miles lived because it was well-lit and they felt safe.
The woman said that on Aug. 22, Clark woke up around 5:30 a.m. and she saw him running toward an SUV. She claimed he left in the SUV and later returned. But MCPD detectives used Flock license plate readers and determined that her vehicle followed the SUV to the place where Miles' remains were found.

On August 28, Pearland police found Miles’ car in an HEB parking lot with Arkansas plates. Davante Clark was in the car, although he gave police a false name and also told officers he’d rented the car from a man in Arkansas for $500. He also was carrying a Glock. Police ran his fingerprints, figured out his real name and arrested him for a fictitious license plate and unlawfully carrying a weapon.
Clark went to jail and Taylor was not sure what happened but saw flyers on a website about Karen Miles missing. She reached out to the Miles family on Facebook. Court documents do not say if she ever made contact with them.
