BAYLOR BASKETBALL Dotson charged in Dennehy death; no body yet found

The former roommate reportedly confessed to killing Patrick Dennehy.
CHESTERTOWN, Md. (AP) -- The former roommate of missing Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy was charged Monday with murder, authorities said.
The warrant naming Carlton Dotson was issued by police in Waco, Texas, where Dennehy has been missing since mid-June, Chestertown Police Chief Walter Coryell said. No body has been found.
Sgt. Ryan Holt, a Waco police spokesman, told The Dallas Morning News that Dotson confessed to killing Dennehy and described a location where Dennehy's body might be found. He told the newspaper that police were searching that location Monday night, but declined to elaborate.
Searching for body
Law enforcement sources in Texas and Maryland told the Waco Tribune-Herald in today's editions that they have a "general location" in McLennan County, Texas.
As he left the court commissioner's office Monday night, Dotson told a reporter: "I didn't confess to anything. Call the FBI." Shortly after his arrest, Dotson had referred all questions to his lawyer.
Dotson's attorney, Grady Irvin Jr., said in a telephone interview that he had last spoken with his client over the weekend. He would not say what they discussed.
"It is most unfortunate that police have come to the conclusion that there is a death," Irvin said. "I am uncertain as to how they came to that conclusion, that Patrick Dennehy is now dead."
Two officers escorted Dotson, in handcuffs, into the police station about 9:20 p.m. He emerged about 15 minutes later with Coryell, another officer and an FBI agent.
Dotson, 21, was fingerprinted and processed at the police department, Coryell said. He was then taken to the Kent County court commissioner's office, where he was ordered held without bond at the county jail.
Dotson was to have another hearing today. If he waives extradition, he will be returned to Texas, Coryell said.
Holt said in a statement that Dotson contacted authorities in Maryland and said he wanted to talk to the FBI about Dennehy's disappearance. He said his department would not comment further until a news conference this afternoon in Waco.
Turns self into FBI
Baylor speech communication professor John Cunningham said Dotson called him Monday evening and announced: "I wanted to let you know that I've turned myself in to the FBI," The Dallas Morning News reported Monday in its online edition.
He said Dotson sounded upset and confused and asked Cunningham, who taught both players, to have "everyone pray for me so I can have safe passage wherever I go from here."
Coryell said Dotson was in Chestertown, about 55 miles from his hometown of Hurlock, on Sunday when he called police from a grocery store.
"He said he needed help," Coryell said. "We took him to the hospital for an evaluation. During his stay there he contacted the FBI."
The police chief said Dotson stayed overnight at a Chestertown hospital, then left early Monday afternoon with FBI agents.
He was interviewed by the FBI and "as a result of that interview, this warrant has been issued," the chief said. He declined to elaborate on Dotson's statement and calls to the FBI were not immediately returned.
Irvin said he did not know what Dotson told authorities.
