Strangled Counselor Fought For Her Life, Police and Evidence Indicate
ABCNews ^ | August 4, 2014

Strangled Counselor Fought For Her Life, Police and Evidence Indicate Aug 4, 2014, ABC NEWS via GOOD MORNING AMERICA PHOTO: Maggie Daniels, 31, was found dead in her North Carolina apartment on June 28, 2014.

Maggie Daniels, a popular North Carolina school counselor, apparently fought for her life before she was strangled, Newton Police Chief Donald Brown told ABC News today.

Police are also looking at what they believe are "selfie" photos in the suspect's phone that may detail injuries he allegedly suffered as a result of Daniels' efforts to fight him off, an officer told ABC News.

Sharmon Odom, 34, is charged with the murder of Daniels, 31. Odom didn't answer any questions as police took him to jail on Saturday, but had a smirk on his face. Odom, who lived in the same apartment complex as Daniels, appeared in court today.

Surveillance Footage Could Hold Clues in School Counselor's Murder

"She died of strangulation," Brown told ABC News. "There was a struggle... We think that she fought back when Sharmon Odom attacked her in her unlocked apartment.”

A search warrant obtained by ABC News indicated there were signs of a violent struggle in Daniels' apartment as she fought to live. Several items in her apartment were damaged, the search warrant said, but did not say what was damaged. She was found dead on June 28. Major Timothy Hayes of the Newton Police Department told ABC News that investigators believe Daniels' body was found a day after she was killed.

A search warrant obtained by ABC News

WTF?

I think they meant that ABC got a copy of the police search warrant.

Suburbans college women who never lived in the city are told today that they are racist if they cross the street. You are also most likely a judgmental paranoid racist if you lock your door at night.

I would slice this bastards head off in the town square and sell tickets to the BBQ following.

I’ve had enough of liberal group-think to figure out crazy killers.

I was on my way to Newton Thursday last week and a Trooper passed me on Hwy 16 going at least 145mph.

I wonder if it was related.

If she pulled his hair out, it’s more likely that his hair and DNA would be in her apartment. You can’t pull out someone’s dreadlocks without some fibres breaking off and falling somewhere, or lodging under fingernails.

Well, after I wrote that I linked to an article with details of his past history. My immediate reaction is they have DNA in her attack. He's a monster! And at some time he had another monster with him, they attacked in tandem... and untill this time weekend he was still out free to do it some more! It's really disgusting...

Fixed... my previous post sounded confusing even to me when I read it back.

I’d give him life....

Back when Americans weren't totally incompetent wards of the Nanny Police State, they took care of business.

Leon Czolgosz, who shot William McKinley, was executed in 45 days.

That was my question. I think if nothing bad has ever happened to you, you get this false sense of security, that things like that happen in other places. When my daughter was away at college, she like to leave her sliding glass door opened to let the fresh air in. Of course I freaked and worried till she finally came back home and got her Master's at a local university.

i have always been a worrier... God has really worked this out of me in the last 20 years of my life, but i will still do things that make me look foolish if i get "that feeling..." i remember the exact moment when my false sense of security left me... i was riding my bike as usual on a dark summer night to meet some friends... suddenly i felt scared--something i had not felt the many tines i had taken that ride previously... i was 17, and much to my surprise, i turned back home...

Maybe she had just got in the door when Holder’s Brother attacked her.

“According to The Charlotte Observer, Odom was arrested in 2010 and charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree rape, assault by strangulation, burglary and kidnapping. Those charges were dismissed in the months after his arrest. He was arrested again in 2012 and charged with robbery, assault by strangulation and second-degree rape, but those charges were dismissed two months after he was arrested. His most recent arrest was on Feb. 26 when he was charged with reckless driving to endanger and ordered to pay a fine. Odom has not served time in prison, The Charlotte Observer reports.”

If she’d been an unattractive girl it would have been less tragic?

Giuseppe Zangara,who shot at FDR, and killed Anton Cermak, got fried by “Old Sparky” in 35 days.

Feb 15, 1933 Cermak shot, later died.
Match 20,1933 Zangara fried.

Too bad we don’t have that waiting period now.

In the olden days, Blacks would step off the curb when you walked by. Yet THEY weren’t called “racist”.
