A 67-year-old woman was found beaten, strangled and hidden beneath Christmas presents in her home.
The body of Michele O’Dowd was discovered Friday by her twin brother, who had gone to check on her after she failed to show up for work.
Her brother told police that he saw her foot sticking out of a big pile of Christmas gifts.
If that isn’t an ugly image, I don’t know what is. Ready for the motive?
A family friend, Patty Michelle White, 40, of York, S.C., is being held in the York County jail in connection with the murder.
Investigators say White was an ex-girlfriend of the victim’s nephew.
They said White had gone to O’Dowd house to rob her.
They say “Just Give Them What They Want, your stuff isn’t worth your life!”. Well go over and look at the mug shots. The woman is…well butch, and nearly 30 years the junior of the victim. I suspect she could have been restrained if just getting the stuff was her only goal. Still she likely had been introduced to the woman a few times, so even if she tied her up and wore a mask, she might still be identified.
Also note that no guns were used in this murder…but a gun in the hand of the old woman could have saved her life from this psychopath.
This is the world those who use the metric of “Gun Death” want for us. Do you want that world?
