Clovis - Clovis Police detectives continue their investigation into the early morning murder of an elderly woman in an apartment at 175 W. Barstow. Shortly after 2 o’clock, police received a 9-1-1 call from a man in his late 40s claiming that he’d just killed his mother and is armed.

Ladonna Tidrick (77) suffered trauma to her body, including what appeared to be a small stab wound. The victim was taken to the hospital with a light pulse. It was there that doctors pronounced her dead. Police have identified the suspect as Eric Tidrick (49).

When officers responded to the apartment, a man came out with one arm behind his back and appeared to have some kind of weapon. Officers had their guns drawn, and approached the apartment at an angle. Officers determined it was a drill, not a handgun.
