Lisa Davis, a friend of Clevenger’s who reported her missing the prior afternoon, said Clevenger’s family was told the victim had allegedly been stabbed to death in Blair’s Jeep, reports theMansfield News Journal.
On January 22 Clevenger filed paperwork with Richland County Domestic Relations Court, seeking help and alleging that Blair “has been harassing me over phone. Shows up at my house and breaks my things. Screams in my face. Shows up at my work and starts things to upset/embarrass me. Keeps sending me threats,” according to the newspaper.
The court denied an immediate order of protection on that date, and set a full hearing for Feb. 5 that Blair missed.

Clevenger’s friend Davis told theNews Journalthat everything “went down the tubes” after Clevenger and Blair married. “She said she was really scared and she didn’t know how to leave him,” Davis said.
“She said she felt like she was in prison, is how she described it for me,” Davis said. “She had to cook for him and clean for him and she had to give him all her money. If she didn’t do what he wanted, then he would break her things. It was all about him.”
Davis alleged that Blair was destroying Clevenger’s property and that he sent nude photos of her to people.
Clevenger was staying with Davis but was last reported seen in Blair’s Jeep, according to police. Officers located the Jeep at Blair’s workplace and “observed evidence inside the Jeep that led them to believe a crime had been committed,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Blair was questioned, alerted authorities to the location of the victim’s body, and was arrested and jailed on a charge of murder, police said. He was being held in the Richland County jail on a $500,000 bond.
It could not be immediately determined whether he’d entered a plea or retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
