Hear Clara Harris Speak

Clara Harris, 44, is charged with murdering her orthodontist husband, David Harris, 44, on the night of July 24 at the Hilton Nasa Clear Lake, Nasa Road 1, in Nassau Bay.

Police said that Clara Harris confronted her husband and another woman in the lobby of the hotel.

After they trio was asked to leave the hotel, Clara Harris drove her car over her husband three times, authorities said.

Two days later Clara Harris called Blue Moon Investigators, the company she hired to follow her husband, and spoke with the company's representative Bobbi Bacha.

The following is an excerpt of the conversation between Clara Harris and Bacha, taken from a recording of the phone call obtained by News2Houston:

"Ok, well since you have verified you are the client and we have your case information, the police unfortunately have the tape in custody and we did tape record everything," Bacha said. "As soon as we get that information we can make that available to you and your attorney."

"Videotape?" Clara Harris asked.

"Yes ma'am, we have everything, but we don’t have it in our possession because of the incident that occurred," Bacha said.

"So he was there through all the (tragic) parts?" Clara Harris asked.

"The investigator did video everything because you hired us to video the subject," Bacha said.

"OK, one last thing. I have paid for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I did not get to read your contract, whether I was entitled to a refund or…" Clara Harris said.

"The way the contract reads is that if the client shows up on the scene, like you did, all retainers and monies are not refunded," Bacha said.

Bacha said that Clara Harris appeared to be shaken up after learning that the P.I. had videotaped the incident.

"I think the videotape shocked her, she asked me a couple of times about the tape," Bacha said. "She asked me a couple of times about the tape, but that was the only time she was a little upset."

Bacha said Clara Harris knew where her husband was going to be that night because she gave them the address and that she also asked her not to jeopardize the investigation by showing up.

Clara Harris remains free on a $30,000 bond.

Her trial has been set for Jan. 21.

If convicted, she could face up to life in prison.
