Florida woman doused herself in Mountain Dew to erase DNA after killing roommate in Daytona Beach: police
Nichole Maks, the woman suspected of killing her 79-year-old roommate, allegedly tried to pour diet Mountain Dew soda all over her body in attempt to erase DNA evidence, according to an arrest affidavit.
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.
Sarah Lynn?... Sarah Lynn...?
Not to dox myself but it’s always nice to see news about my home town as a reminder to never return
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).
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.
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.
She poured diet Mountain Dew all over her body
Everyone knows that this is a job for Diet Double Dew.
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
Neck tattoos. A clear sign of a stable and smart individual.
What a shockingly Florida headline
From one sticky situation to another.
Don’t do the dew if you can’t do the time…
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 the...reads Florida...ahh...
Just Florida things
Yeah, but which flavor?
Yeah only blue works I thought everyone knew that...
Brawndo has electrolytes.
She really was in a sticky situation.

tampering with evidence
I mean, attempted tampering with evidence…
edit: j/k she also tried to burn the house down. That will get rid of evidence.
Kim Deal nooooo
In another life she would have been a keeper.
Mmmeth kills you and the ones around you.
In her defense, she saw what it had done to her teeth, destroying DNA is a logical progression.
Oh, why am I not surprised it's Florida. ಠ_ಠ
Florida meeting those expectations, without fail. As usual.
That's not how the verification can works, you have to dance for it.
Red Bull's what gives you Wings. She could have gotten away with it.
Is Mugshawtys on Mastodon yet?
"Roommate," lol, she was probably banging the old guy as rent so she could stay at his place. I've seen that arrangement way more than once.
Dewderella claims another victim
Hmm, lil suspicious that scientists haven't come out with tests to disprove this theory
