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.

"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.

How do such serious charges get dismissed??? Someone must have gotten to the witnesses.....
Certainly not for the girl or those who knew her. It just wouldn’t get as much public attention from those who didn’t know her. Why do movie stars get attention from people who don’t know them? It starts with appearance. Human nature is what it is.
