YORK, S.C. (CBS Charlotte) – Police say a York County woman admitted to killing a 67-year-old family friend in Florida and leaving the woman’s body underneath a pile of Christmas presents in her own home.

Patty White, 40, has been arrested for allegedly killing 67-year-old Michele O’Dowd in her Jacksonville home Friday. Jacksonville police indicated to CBS Charlotte that while no charges have been filed to this point, the case against White will be a homicide case.

Jacksonville police said White stole two of O’Dowd’s charge cards following her death, attempting to take money out of her account from at least two area ATMs. Police added that O’Dowd let White, a family friend, stay with her when she fell on difficult times.

WTEV reports that O’Dowd’s body was discovered by her twin brother that same day.

“There is nothing worse than when you walk inside and find your own sister brutally murdered over a stupid debit card,” the brother told WTEV.

On Saturday, York police pulled over a car driven by White’s mother that White was riding in. When White interviewed with detectives, White confessed to murdering O’Dowd, according to a police report and a release.

York Police Chief Andy Robinson told CBS Charlotte that it is unlikely White will fight extradition back to Florida, where she will be charged. Robinson said that White should be heading to Florida sometime this week.

White is currently being held at the York County Detention Center.

    Such a nice looking lady. The orange jumpsuit brings out her features nicely. Uck!

    You’re half right.

    Another crazy black racist. Oh say it isn’t so.. we all know black racists don’t exist!

    Its not the years, its the mileage.

  • JustAGuy

    The Obama Economy is driving people to doing some dispicable things for money. Let this nightmare end on November 2012.

  • JustAGuy

    All racists are bad, no matter what color they are.

  • Dean Jones

    Here are the prison inamtes stats broken down race wise, by FBI stats on Law enforcement agencycrime reports, and Bureau of Justice Statistics:

    ‘The racial composition of the US population as of 2008 was 79.79% White American (65.60% non-Hispanic and 14.19% Hispanic), 12.84% African American (12.22% non-Hispanic and 0.62% Hispanic), 4.45% Asian American (4.35% non-Hispanic and 0.10% Hispanic), 1.01% American Indian or Alaska Native (0.76% non-Hispanic and 0.25% Hispanic), 0.18% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander American (0.14% non-Hispanic and 0.04% Hispanic), and 1.69% Multiracial American (1.64% non-Hispanic and 0.05% Hispanic). 15.25% of the total US population identified their ethnicity as Hispanic.’

  • jennifer

    LMAO! Good one!

  • JustAGuy

    Criminals deserve to be incarcerated, regardless of race. But that does nothing to dispute the fact that racists are bad people, regardless of color.

  • JustAGuy

    I would be amused seeing you attempt to explain how the Obama Economy is a healthy economy.

  • CATHERINE

    400,000 people a week are filing for first time unemployment benefits EVERY WEEK FOR 3 YEARS NOW

    THE MEDIA REFUSE TO REPORT IT TO COVER UP OBAMA’S FAILURES BUT THE BODIES ARE PILING UP EVERYWHERE – THE DESPERATION IS EVERYWHERE AND GOING TO OVERFLOW

    AND IT DOESN’T HELP WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TELLS HIS FOLLOWERS TO GET RICHEY AND THEY WILL GET STUFF

  • David

    Dean Jones that isn’t the prison stats broken down by race. You listed the racial composition of the US population. If you are going by prison poplulation by race then you get this:

    non-Hispanic blacks accounted for 39.4% of the prison and jail population in 2009
    Hispanics (of all races) were 15.9% of those incarcerated in 2009

    Now blacks make up only 12.84% of the poplulation but they make up 39.4% of the prison population

  • Christine

    Wow, as a nation we sure do like to break everything down into races. I thought we were suppose to be well past that in this day of Obama? I thought he was suppose to be the great unifier? You’ve lost me when we start breaking it down even more with Pacific Islander’s, Alaska Natives, and all other hyphenated jargon. We are suppose to be a nation of one, a melting pot, e pluribus unum. When I fill out an application and they ask my race or nationality, I just say American. I’m of the American “race” and nationality. But as long as we have liberals and people like Malcolm constantly bringing up race in any conversation, we will always be divided. So Malcolm, you and all other race baiters just keep keeping it up, and we’ll see if we can ever get past a hyphenated America. But in all honesty, I don’t think you race baiters want to get past this issue, because that means you will have nothing more to talk about and nothing more to be angry about. Your favorite word in our vocabulary is “racist.”

  • Tiza

    Well, besides the fact that it’s just horrible that a person was murdered, and also Christmas is a pagan celebration and is worthless. Regardless, someone got murdered, which is really bad. It’s a sad bunch of people in the US, I think. Very, very sad where no one has love for their neighbor or for themselves.

    actually your uninformed and he’s right.

  • JonDoh

    Read the book ‘Sex Crimes and Paraphilia’ and you’ll see that there’s an entire chapter devoted to the media ignoring the large number of minority serial killers, pedophiles and rapists. This is not a partisan book. It’s actually very clinical and simply says it like it is. You’re just brainwashed by only knowing what they tell you in the mainstream media (which is run by liberals who love to make white men look as bad as possible). Get a clue and learn to spell while you’re at it punk.

    “When White interviewed with detectives, White confessed to murdering O’Dowd, according to a police report and a release.” Poor, dumb white trash doesn’t even know when to shut up and ask for an attorney. Irregardless, will probably cost the taxpayers tens of thousands before she’s even sentenced.

  • George

    Christine, I just like being a racist. I just don’t like Blacks so what is wrong with that? Lots of Blacks don’t like whites so big deal. I am not for killing or injuring them owning them no don’t want that either I just wish they would go away. And they can take their junk cars with them. But mostly I don’t like them fighting dogs. They are disgusting.

  • George

    My gosh Bob you really cut to the bone

    Well we should get 17 days of peace and quiet.

    This woman is 40? I had to re-read the story – I thought she was the 67-year-old.

    that is not a woman, it’s a transvestite. Tell the whole story for gods sake!

    Acutally she will be able to vote for Obama and the victim will vote democrat as well since 9 out of 10 dead people vote democratic.

  • EnglishTeacherNot

    Usage note
    Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis.

    …Or those who don’t know better.

  • Solomon

    Read the headline, checked out the photo, read every comment (hilarious!) now I’m gonna read the story. BTW, is it just me or does every comment thread on the Internet eventually morph into the subject of racism?

  • Horsefeathers

    Perhaps the lack of love or feeling for a neighbor can be attributed to the fact that SOME think “Christmas is a PAGAN Celebration and is Worthless!!! I believe that you might be part of the problem with the way you think.

  • chukker

    “Police added that O’Dowd let White, a family friend, stay with her when she fell on difficult times.”

  • Brandon W.

    @Horsefeathers,
    Actually Christmas was origanlly a Pagan holiday.(Doubt it was called Christmas, though.)The value of the holiday, well I’ll not involve myself in that one.

    Especially when she is hidden under a pile of presents. The fool white forgot to wrap her then no one would have noticed.

  • robin ray

    This comment is sooo ironic! You believe Christmas to be the birth of Christ, you celebrate it, but call Tiza a B word then end it with Merry Christmas?? Jesus must be so proud

  • truthseeker

    Some “think” it to be pagan?? All one has to do is research the ORIGINS OF CHRISTMAS and they will see that it is indeed pagan. Tou have internet access, check it out. Unless you are scared to seek truth.
