NC Man Convicted Of Murdering Of Former Molino Resident
March 21, 2014
A North Carolina man was convicted Thursday of the brutal murder of a former Molino resident.
It took a jury in Cherokee County, SC, about two hours to find 43-year Joey Clark guilty of the 2010 murder of his ex-girlfriend Winter Delane Wingard. Clark was sentenced to 45 years, which he must serve day for day without parole.
The 26-year old’s nude body was found on the side of a rural road near Gaffney, SC, a town of about 13,000 people about 20 miles northeast of Spartanburg. She died after being severely beaten in the head and neck and strangled. In addition, the coroner said Wingard sustained 13 stab wounds to the neck.
Winter Wingard formerly lived with her family on Molino Road. She attended Molino Elementary, Ransom Middle and Tate High before completing her education online.

She was always a sweet girl when we were growing up. I am so sad that her life was cut so short. Her family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
That is so sad I will pray for yalls family. I remember my brother talking about winter. He passed away in 1999. He went to school with her at Tate his name is Wyndall Black. I will pray for the family that God will give them peace
I taught this sweet girl in kindergarten my first year of teaching. She and her family have been in my thoughts and prayers since this i first heard of this tragedy. Winter was a beautiful (inside and out), sweet, kind, smart, precious girl. Prayers continue for you all!
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for our family
My cousin Winter didn’t deserve to leave the world in such a brutal manor. I love you with all my heart and miss u dearly.
Gone but not forgotten
I will never forget the day Winter and I wore the same outfit for our class pictures at Molino Elementary. Rest in peace. Gone but not forgotten.
May he suffer the same fate as he meted out to the young woman. A vicious killer deserves the death sentence.
This is so awful how this young woman died! I’m 26years young and I could not imagine leaving this world that way! He deserves a needle in the arm! I know there’s no way to mend their broken hearts but I pray her loved ones can be at peace, as she is, now that justice is served…
Wow…what a shame. Always remember he being such a happy person in school. Prayers to the family
