Investigators charged McCloud on Wednesday with Capital Murder in the death of a 19-year-old Greenwood, Florida woman missing for several days.
Houston County Sheriff’s Office deputies believe Anastasia Gilley was shot, though an autopsy will confirm the cause of death.For the 33-year-old McCloud, this is not his first brush with the law with his criminal history going back years.He had been released by 2015 when he faced another rape charge in Quitman County, Georgia.

Again, he was released, but in 2021 McCloud was back in custody, this time in Albany, Georgia, where he faced Aggravated Battery and other charges involving a man whose cut was throat, according to WALB television.McCloud’s other arrests, according to records, include violating sex offender registration laws, making terror threats, robbery, and criminal mischief.The Department of Human Resources has taken him to court seeking child support for two children, born in 2014 and 2018.
If convicted of Capital Murder, a jury would sentence him to life without parole or the death penalty.
