RIPLEY, Miss. (WTVA) -- A Lee County man is serving 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to the death of a man whose body was found near Blue Mountain.

Christopher Clippard, 35, of Shannon entered guilty pleas to manslaughter and grand larceny in the death of David Lee Floyd, 58, of Shannon.

Floyd's body was found by hunters in the Hell Creek Wildlife Management area near Blue Mountain in November of 2010.

Clippard and Maybelle White of Shannon were later arrested and charged with capital murder in Floyd's death.

Investigators say surveillance camera video taken in Memphis show the couple using Floyd's debit card.

White is still awaiting trial in the case.

Clippard is currently in the Tippah County jail.
