A Volusia County woman suspected of killing her 79-year-old roommate allegedly doused herself in soda in an attempt to erase possible evidence on her body, according to an arrest affidavit.

    Her DNA was later found on the handle of a bloody knife found lying next to the victim’s body at the Daytona Beach home they shared, the affidavit stated.

    And she would have gotten away with it if she’d bedewed the knife!

    From the beginning of the 2009 Dunning-Kruger paper Unskilled and unaware of it:

    In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks and robbed them in broad daylight, with no visible attempt at disguise. He was arrested later that night, less than an hour after videotapes of him taken from surveillance cameras were broadcast on the 11 o’clock news. When police later showed him the surveillance tapes, Mr. Wheeler stared in incredulity. “But I wore the juice,” he mumbled. Apparently, Mr. Wheeler was under the impression that rubbing one’s face with lemon juice rendered it invisible to videotape cameras (Fuocco, 1996).

      There was also the guy who robbed a bank after he paid a wizard to make him invisible, and he was pretty mad at that wizard when he found out the invisibility spell was bunk.

      This is the best reference possible. Btw, you can hear either Dunning or Kruger (can’t remember which) on an ep of the You Are Not So Smart podcast, which I no longer listen to, but it’s an interesting interview.

    Not to dox myself but it’s always nice to see news about my home town as a reminder to never return

        Holly Hill is arguably the worst zip code in Volusia County. We called it Holy Hell.

      I have also been much happier since I left the Salt Life behind. Desantis can keep it.

      You should throw in some untrue details about your location from time to time, just to throw off the scent.

    DNA evidence being all the blood that she was covered with when the police caught her wandering around barefoot with a knife and hammer, outside a burger joint at half three in the morning? I’m sure that if she’d just had a moment longer to rinse it off, then her cast-iron ‘I usually carry stuff like that’ defence would have worked, and she wouldn’t have had to start fighting the police. So close to being the perfect crime.

    Neck tattoos. A clear sign of a stable and smart individual.
