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!
bedewed
TIL a word. This is masterful wordplay.
Apparently, she wouldn’t have had time since she bedewed herself AFTER she got arrested!

That’s methed up, man.

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.
Thanks! I’ll look out for that interview.
Not to dox myself but it’s always nice to see news about my home town as a reminder to never return
I stayed in Holly Hill for like a week…what a fucking shithole 😂
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.
We are from France!
Bonjour!
Florida
Yup that right there is the problem

I like Diet Mountain Dew.
It’ll destroy your traces of DNA from your insides.
She poured diet Mountain Dew all over her body
Everyone knows that this is a job for Diet Double Dew.
I don’t know, I would choose Voltage for cleaning up a crime scene. Blue things clean better.
No, that’s just for cleaning windows, you nincompoop.
Yup. Purples are best for general cleaning.
I don’t know I think you need something lemon scented
Lidl store brand blue raspberry energy drink works too
Just because it tasted like bleach doesn’t mean it’s going to clean up like bleach.
Florida woman
Don’t do the dew if you can’t do the time…
From one sticky situation to another.
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.
What a shockingly Florida headline
What the…reads Florida…ahh…
Neck tattoos. A clear sign of a stable and smart individual.
Just Florida things
