A multi-agency manhunt for the fugitive homicide suspect wanted in connection to the disappearance and death of Britani Meek in Yuma, Colo., concluded Monday afternoon in Lake Placid, Fla.
Clifton Boggess, 62, is wanted by the Yuma (CO) Police Department in connection to the disappearance and death of Britani Meek. Meek was initially reported missing on October 25, 2023. During the course of the investigation, both Meek’s vehicle and her remains were discovered on a property located in rural Yuma County. On July 24, a warrant was issued charging Boggess with first-degree murder, felony tampering with a deceased body, second-degree kidnapping, second-degree motor vehicle theft, and third-degree assault.
On July 25, the Yuma Police Department formally requested assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service’s Colorado Violent Offender Task Force (COVOTF) in locating and apprehending Boggess on the outstanding homicide warrant. Detectives from Yuma PD provided COVOTF investigators information indicating Boggess had likely fled the state. COVOTF investigators and analysts then developed information which indicated Boggess had likely fled to central Florida. That information was then relayed to the U.S. Marshals’ Florida-Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF) office in West Palm Beach, Fla., on July 26. FCRFTF investigators immediately began a local investigation into Boggess’ whereabouts based on the information they received from the COVOTF and set up surveillance on a residence in Sebring, Fla.
