Yes, that's it -- holding someone against their wishes/will. Every now & then I will see a kidnapping charge against someone who is also charged with armed robbery -- it's usually when victims are held at gunpoint in a quick shop or fast food place or something like that.
 
A search warrant obtained on Monday shows the struggle took place inside Daniels' apartment in Newton. The warrants mention a patch of missing hair near Odom's scalp.

The search warrant also showed that officers noticed a scratch on the suspect's face just a few days after Daniels was found murdered.

A detailed search of data in Odom's phone revealed that he had taken a "selfie" photograph that could have implications in the case.

"The day that Daniels body was discovered," says Chief Donald Brown, "Odom had taken a selfie picture of himself that showed scratches on his face."

Curious how he's going to try to explain away the "mountain of evidence" at his trial. The scratches on his face, missing hair, also tie him to Maggie in that his DNA should be under her nails, on her body, in her apartment.

He's done.
:behindbar

MOO
 
If Maggie had dinner plans Fri night, how did she plan on getting there if her car was in the shop?

If Maggie and her friend planned to go out to dinner, there are at least 3 restaurants within .5 mi./15 min. walking distance (2 within 5 min.) from the Windsor Apartments. The Newton-Conover Auditorium is also about 1 mi. from the Windsor Apts., so there may have been an event there Maggie planned to attend. It would have taken her approx. 20 min. one way, walking.
 
:( Maggie, I am so sorry. She fought him though, good job Maggie. Good job getting his DNA under your nails!

During one interview, Newton Police Lt. David Sigmon noticed a patch of hair missing from the front of Odom’s head. At the crime scene, investigators seized several dark colored curly hairs from the victim’s fingernails, which did not match the victim’s head or body hair, the document said.

The document cites Odom’s past charges in Mecklenburg County as probable cause as well. Odom was charged with second-degree kidnapping, first-degree burglary and robbery with a dangerous weapon in October 2010. He was also charged with first-degree rape, assault by strangulation and common law robbery in October 2010 stemming from a separate incident. In August 2012, Odom was charged with second-degree rape, assault by strangulation and common law robbery. The cases, two involving prostitutes, were dismissed...

Odom is a person of interest in a rape case from December 2012, where the victim “stated that a black male held a rag over her face which had a chemical smell,” the document said. Odom lived in the same complex as the victim in the December 2012 case, the document said.

If only this predator had been in prison where he belongs... :furious:
 
Oh geez, I was thinking next Thursday, but nope. There's the info we've been wondering. This all makes me so sick. :notgood:

I knew there was something about that wooded area behind her apartment. It's creeped me out from the first time I saw the pics of the walkway leading to the backside of the apts. No telling how often Odom was back there, watching and waiting to make his move.
So initially he refused to give a DNA sample? If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does. Sick sick individual. The DP would be doing him a favor.
 
So the implication is that he put the shorts back on her when he had finished, as there is evidence of semen in the rectal swabs. (sorry for being graphic. blessings to Maggie :facepalm:) Why would he put only the shorts back on her? I find that odd.

Such shocking information. The only thing I hope for Maggie is that since they found the chemical cleaning bottle near her that she was rendered unconscious before this horrendous 'man' sexually assaulted her.

He should NEVER have been out, wandering the streets with such a dangerous history. It's disgusting.
