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.

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.

Cindy Mullenax

Since you say that Christmas is wothless, to me your irrelivant and worthless b—h!!! Merry Christmas!!!

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

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.

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.
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.

“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.

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.

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