Lisa Maas: Murdered by a Smelly, Stabby Neighbor
May 30, 2008 by Indrid Cold
PittsburghPittsburgh reviews
, PA — Terrence Andrews, age 38, told police that his neighbor Lisa Maas “looked down on [him]” and treated him “like dirt.” So naturally the resident of the Shadyside neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA did what any smelly, psychopathic asshole would do to a rude 19-year-old neighbor — he stabbed her to death.
In a criminal complaint released by Pittsburgh law enforcement, Andrews told of having a conversation with Maas early in the day on Thursday, May 29. According to the accused, Maas told him to his face that he stank. “That burned me up all day,” said Andrews, “and I decided that I was going to kill her.”
Andrews confessed to waiting for the rest of the day for Maas to return to her apartment.
Once he knew Maas was home, Andrews allegedly grabbed a pair of scissors. Andrews barged in, scissor blades flashing, when Maas answered his knock on her door. Maas tried to bargain for her life, according to the accused; she said she’d show him where she had some money. Andrews didn’t want her money; he wanted to kill her.
Maas tried to defend herself with a steak knife. She got some licks in, but Andrews overpowered her.
In the end, Andrews sat down on Maas’s couch to watch the young woman breathe her last.
Someone in the apartment complex called 911 after hearing Lisa Maas’s screams. When the cops arrived they found a blood-soaked Andrews, who said, “Take me to jail. I did it.”
Andrews was taken to a local hospital with a severe scalp wound.
Terrence Andrews robbed the world of a young woman who was more complex than she seemed on the surface, if her MySpaceMySpace
page was any indication. Lisa Maas was “pinkdiamonds69” on the social networking site. Her photos revealed a dark-haired, attractive girl with blue eyes and full lips. Her headline told readers of her page that she didn’t dig gold, she dug diamonds. As the video she embedded into her profile revealed (see above), Maas was sure of her sexuality and unafraid to use it.
Lisa Maas kept a blog on MySpace, too, and there she showed that she was sensitive to what others said about her. Her last post was made on May 11. In it she addressed accusations from exes that she was a “golddigger.” Maas wrote, “I don’t date based on money, but I have requirements and that is just one of them. I make money, and I don’t want to be with someone who is leeching off me. I don’t leech. If longterm is a possibility, they may want marriage, kids, house, etc., and I don’t, exactly. So if they want that with me, then basically they are building and better be contributing to that life. I’m not in this alone, so if they are with me, they should help. . . That’s not golddigging!!!!”
A blog post Maas made on April 24 this year was perhaps more revealing. She showed a quirky, appealing side that was perhaps at odds with the rest of her profile:
* I have a “pet” squirrel. He comes to my window legde (sic) on the fourth floor and I feed him peanuts. His name is Boston.
Maas’s friends began leaving memorial comments on her profile on FridayFriday reviews
. Those comments indicated that Maas had just missed her birthday. In her post, a friend with the screen name “Ashley Ryan” noted Maas’s MySpace screen name, “Unforgetable” (sic): “Happy Birthday Lisa! You are for sure *Unforgettable*. I love you hun.”
Another friend changed his own screen name to ” R.I.P. Lisa Maas R.I.P. u’ll never be 4gotten.” He wrote, “happy birthday lisa i know you can hear from heaven..ill always remember you n ill miss you my fellow greenbay fan.. love n miss u..we all miss u.. i just cant beilieve this is true.ill miss ya 4ever.
love ur friend Jamie…”
Stinky psycho fuckwit Terrence Andrews will be taken to jail once he’s released. He faces a preliminary hearing a week from today.
Happy birthday, Ms. Maas. One moment of alleged rudeness on your part shouldn’t have brought such cold-blooded evil to your door.

Sorry about the video at the top, y’all. The embed should be fixed later this evening.
8:20 pm on May 30th, 2008
He is fugly… and I can smell him from here. http://kdka.com/local/Shadyside.fatal.stabbing.2.736915.html =p
8:21 pm on May 30th, 2008
Why can’t I put a link on this page and it show up??? If I try a second time, it show me to be spamming.
8:50 pm on May 30th, 2008
Poor chick. She was so beautiful too. Why do so many men have to be so fucking hateful? So many of these stories involve a dumbass being rejected (heaven FORBID!!!) and they feel that justifies murder. I don’t fucking get it.
8:52 pm on May 30th, 2008
Damn! If someone told me I was smelly I’d take a shower. Shit. What a crazy fucker!
8:59 pm on May 30th, 2008
But April, from the looks of it, that kind of stank doesn’t wash out easily. That mofo would need ten bleach baths to even make a dent in that stank…
9:14 pm on May 30th, 2008
Sorry, UCat, that was me. Kinda gassy tonight.
9:20 pm on May 30th, 2008
Last time a female said I was smelly was 5th grade. I developed a complex about being clean, yes, but damn, I figure it was to my benefit. This dude probably has a boatload of issues. I’d be real surprised if he doesn’t have some turns in the mental hospital and in jail in his past.
9:40 pm on May 30th, 2008
What’s up with this video? Was it on a private myspace or was it so that anyone could see it?
9:45 pm on May 30th, 2008
What a fucker. This guy was probably bugging her all the time, and you gal’s on here know what I mean. There is always one guy that orbits around that you wish you could just smack. I don’t think she was rude as much as tired of this creepy corpse hanging around. I hope his stinky ass rots in jail after they delouse him.
10:40 pm on May 30th, 2008
How can I argue that logic. He needs some de-lousing… STAT!
10:48 pm on May 30th, 2008
No, totally public. If you click on the video it will take you to the channel connected with her profile. If you looked at her profile, it’s embedded there.
11:29 pm on May 30th, 2008
I like the video, it’s sexy and she has (had
) a bangin body.
11:40 pm on May 30th, 2008
Pure Speculation: What are the chances that her murderer saw this video on myspace? I’d say pretty good. After reading Indrid Cold’s post, I logged into MySpace and searched for Lisa Maas. There she was, her photo right there with the gleaming kissy lips beside it.
Further Pure Speculation Derived from Above Assumption: You know the little girls who come on here and pretend to be all tough and sharp and sexy? I fear we may be seeing what can happen when they take this pretend-tough image into the real world from their parents’ home. This girl may never have put it together that a weird male neighbor had the option of looking at her shake-my-tail-in-the-world’s-face video and would draw his own conclusions about her character or availability.
As I have said twice before, this is my own speculation about what may have happened. What a tragedy if I am right. A young girl done in by her inexperience – not a new story, but run through in a completely modern way.
Well, anyway. Maybe I’m completely wrong and getting upset up over a wrong notion. This is a sad story no matter what the circumstances. To be so young and have such a brutal death because of rudeness is shocking. The guy just couldn’t leave her alone and dislike her for being rude. He had to settle the ego score.
12:11 am on May 31st, 2008
Wrybread, I’m afraid you hit the nail on the head with your theory. I for one agree w/you. Parents need to teach these kid’s this. I caution my two teens all the time about descretion. Especially on myspace. They are why I joined up. More than once in the past month my daughter has been grounded. When I see a photo that is OFF LIMITS I comment it, Busted! Grounded! She hates this and that is just fine with me…..
7:17 am on May 31st, 2008
9:50 am on May 31st, 2008
The video was a little dark I could barely see her. I do agree she was a beautiful girl.
I don’t care how she dressed or what she said he absolutely had no right to take her life. I don’t care if she danced half naked in her apt & he could see. Being flirtatious or sexual or let say she was a tease (I have no clue) that still doesn’t give an individual the right to take a life!
This stupid fuck had his ego deflated by an attractive girl (probably not the first time) she was the one he took his insecurities and anger out on. He probably did stink, stinky mother fucker, I hope he gets fucked in his ass daily!
10:09 am on May 31st, 2008
Oh? And you don’t think the guy who killed her is a sociopath?
I think it’s telling that when I hypothesize that an inexperienced girl + public arena in which to post one’s image of oneself + current concepts of what is sexy + CRAZY neighbor = murder — and I say this would be a tragic story if my guess is true — and I am accused of blaming the victim.
I would hardly call this video “flirty.” It seems more like a demonstration of having mastered the dance moves of a professional sex worker. Yes, she should have been able to post it on her front door in complete safety. But the world doesn’t work according to our Rule of Behavior. A woman decides to kill her husband instead of divorcing him. A boyfriend decides to bash a baby instead of getting a new gf.
You’re way off the mark if you think I am blaming this poor young woman. I offered the possibility that this is an sorrowful story of modern technology and old-fashioned sexual deviance.
And again, everyone note, that I am making a general social comment and that my idea is PURE SPECULATION as far as this specific case goes.
10:23 am on May 31st, 2008
Very well said, Wrybread.
12:20 pm on May 31st, 2008
Poor Lisa. Having to deal with the loss of your dad at a very young age, and all the drama that followed it, only to have someone take your life from you at an extremely young age. I am so sorry the world is like this. I love you and make sure to sing Whozit with your dad. RIP
1:31 pm on May 31st, 2008
Wry, I know what you’re saying, and I know you’re not blaming the victim. What you’re saying is entirely possible, but for some reason I don’t think that he saw it or that it had much to do with his perception of her. I just see a nasty, mentally disturbed loser who became obsessed with his pretty neighbor, and she was the unlucky one who dissed him while he was off his meds (I read in one of the articles that he had told someone that he was not taking his meds, and that he was afraid he would kill someone). I could be wrong though, this is just my perception. I guess we’ll never know
4:33 pm on May 31st, 2008
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure you knew her, no one else would write this. She was a BEAUTIFUL girl, and didn’t deserve for this to happen. Some fugly bastards are just screwed up in the head. Society can’t accept this behavior. He will pay, one day. Again, Sad4Loss, I am so sorry.
6:03 pm on May 31st, 2008
Yes I did know her. She is my cousin. She was a very beautiful girl inside and out. And thanks for your sympathy.
6:40 pm on May 31st, 2008
I’m sorry too Sad4loss for your loss. If you don’t mind my asking, do you know what kind of contact she had with this guy? Would they just pass each other in the halls, or did they hang out with mutual friends? Did he pursue her all the time and get rejected?
9:15 pm on May 31st, 2008
I just wish these young girls would learn to pick the trash up off the floor before taking pictures or video.
11:46 pm on May 31st, 2008
I think they figure people will be too busy looking elsewhere to notice lol
9:37 am on June 1st, 2008
Is it too much to ask to get some extra lights on when you’re shooting sexy video? Sheesh.
It really is a shame that this asshole (Andrews, not the camera operator) robbed the world of an apparently smart, caring young lady. I don’t care if she shook her booty naked in the hallway of her building (though I would like to see that video) it wouldn’t give anyone the right to even touch her, let alone kill her.
Keep your testosterone fueled bullshit machismo in check ‘gentlemen’ or I’ll show you the true meaning of the words disrespect and degradation!
8:50 pm on June 1st, 2008
lis was a good friend of mine and she never decevered and thing like this she was one of the most fun and brightest people to be with she loved having fun her mom and sister where her world and everyday i would see her she was always ALWAYS SMILING i could talk to her about anything she always listen and knew just what to say o help you out… she had so many plans for her life she was deticated to her grade in school always got what needed done i cant stop cring all i picture is what happen and how scared she had to have been…. i loved that girl she was an amazing friend and the man who did that do her never left her alone alway coming to her door and what not one time when i was there he knocked on the door asked if we wanted to come see his christmas tree it wasnt even december he decervise whatever he get she was the last person in this world that need to end her life like that seh had such a future
8:53 pm on June 1st, 2008
and thsi video she was having fun and u all have no right to say anything about her u didnt know know her
8:54 pm on June 1st, 2008
seh wasnt that dumb girl who tryed to look pretty she was her self and was happy with that
9:54 pm on June 1st, 2008
Oh, I see exactly the same guy, only he has a computer or uses a friend’s to help him fantasize and stalk girls.
I brought this up because I often think of the young girls, such as Courtney123, who come on this site and act tough and in control, who seem to think that a commanding style is the same thing as strength. I fear for them. I worry about what will happen when they take that persona out of the protection of high school, their parents’ home, and their small circle of friends.
There’s no reason that this woman should have been bothered at all by this creep — he should have stayed away from her. And there’s no reason that she should have been murdered. I do wonder if this was an illustration of the dangers of thinking of myspace as personal. Maybe they should rename it AllSeeYouSpace.
As you say, we’ll probably never know.
10:03 pm on June 1st, 2008
To the above comment….
Sorry about your friend. I bet she would delete that video now if she could. You young people need to think before you put that shit out there. I bet it has been viewed more times since she was killed, than before. It just makes her look easy and cash hungry, she said that herself. Ya know about the ‘gold digging’…
That said…..She did not deserve what happened to her. I am very sorry for your loss. I hope this guy gets life. He seems to already be planning a defense about his mental illness. I hate the ‘I was crazy defense’
What was said about the video only means it paints a bad picture of her character. It should not, but it does.
10:08 pm on June 1st, 2008
the video is a video shows nothing about the person she was… and the guy taht killed he was crazy he was weird and he never left her alone but she was nice to him but people can only take so much she got tired of him said what she thought and was killed for it it has nothing to do with myspace
10:16 pm on June 1st, 2008
I know what you mean about crazies that won’t leave you alone. We just speculate and ponder here. Sorry, we just try to dissect and understand why people do stupid shit.
Bless Lisa’s heart.
She did not deserve that.
11:35 pm on June 1st, 2008
We all miss you Lisa! I hope that dirtbag gets what he deserves. No one can believe that you are really gone. I really wish I had gotten to chance to tell you Happy Birthday in person, but since I can’t I hope this is enough. All of us at HC are really going to try to get Melanie through this, I know you two were the BEST of sisters and the BEST of friends. I know you are up there in heaven partying till dawn like you always did! Well, we will all see you when we get there! I know you are watching over everyone now & keeping us safe.
LOVE YOU LISA!!
Rest in Peace girly!!!
Love, Kim S. & all of us at HC ♥ ♥ ♥
PS. You ARE a diamond, Lisa. One that is priceless!!!!

She listed me as the contact name “The Bartender,” she personally listed her contact name on my phone as “sex kitten.” It was an inside joke, not something nasty. This was a few weeks after we had begun our relationship. In the end, it was about 5 months that we knew each other.
The story goes like this: Within the first week of working with her, we hung out to watch a movie together. While the movie was being watched, she leaned over and gave me a kiss on the neck. I reacted with an unexpected shock but amusement and followed up with a smile. We started something so very special based on a strong connection. She was so sweet, friendly, and giving. At work she would stick around far after her shift was over, sometimes getting in trouble, just to help me out so we could just have more time to spend together afterwards. She would dress so pretty over her cute body that she worked out often by going on frequent runs.
We would sleep together in the same bed at least once a week and I’d hold her tight wrapping my arms around her. We’d talk about our dream jobs, our families, our hobbies, and what we liked about each other. She listened carefully and surprised me with a present one night- a Bombay sapphire bottle accompanied by lime flavored tonic. We drank it together; she liked it almost as much as I did. She would tell me that she dreamed about me and I would tell her that she always smelled amazing. She said that her mom was a very hard worker for the government and made countless sacrifices for her. She talked about always wanting to take care of her mom and that her sister was her best friend, that she has so much potential with her intelligence, humor, and beauty. She talked about Vicky in that she felt that she was growing closer to her.
She would talk about her older sister in that she wishes her happiness. She gave me another present, painting a beautiful shot glass for me with her friend Stephanie with nail polish. She didn’t need makeup and had a natural beauty to her. She loved to learn new things, analyze challenging problems, and help everyone that she could. She was extremely smart and was even sharp with math. She was there for anyone who needed her. I’m a finance major and she maybe was attracted to the idea of my career. However, not proud to admit, but she sacrificed and spent more money on our relationship than I did. She defintely wasn’t a gold digger; she told me herself that money doesn’t buy happiness.
I spent the nights of Sunday May 25th, Tuesday May 27th, & Wednesday May 28th with her. Sunday, I was drinking at her place and we fell asleep together for the last time. She laid out some peanuts on her window ledge for her pet squirrel Boston the next morning. I left to go study for a test that I had for Tuesday, but she made me laugh with a voice mail that she had left me later that day. It was her sweet excited voice saying that she didn’t know what to do because Boston was at her window going crazy with the peanuts and messing with the window screen. She went to Kennywood later on that day with Chris, our great mutual friend. Tuesday, we met up in the evening and she had bought me a few souvenirs from Kennywood. It was a necklace and shot glass. Tuesday night we cooked at her apartment with Chris, and then later ate at my place right down the street.
Wednesday Chris, her, and I all hung out at my place and stayed up until about 4am talking. We texted each other Thursday morning back and forth about her dreams. I noticed that Thursday afternoon she wrote on her sister’s myspace wall about wanting to talk to her about me. I felt very special to be liked by her. She always had something interesting to say, I miss listening, I miss her amazing smile, her smell, I miss holding her tight while sleeping, I miss Lisa Maas, my girl that tragically died a few hours before her 19th birthday on Thursday, May 29th, 2008 at 9:10pm.
The last 2 days at work have been extremely difficult without you, but I know that you’re am angel in a happy place looking over us. I thank you for the happiest memories and being such an amazing person to me. The potential to continue our time together is lost, but I’m so proud that you were a part of my life. You will always be in a special place in my heart and I feel like I will see you again someday. If I have a daughter someday in the future, I’m going to name her Lisa after you babe. I know we never said it to each other, and I know it’s late, but I do love you. Spread those angel wings and fly babe, I’ll miss you so much!
7:45 am on June 2nd, 2008
Don’t worry Kimmers, he WILL get what he deserves, and we’ll be watching when he does.
Foxy40, I can’t believe that this loser was coming to her door like that and bothering her. I’m not surprised though. Having dealt with a stalker/eventual abuser myself, I can say that it’s typical of young women to underestimate what these type of guys will do. You don’t want to hurt their feelings, or seem like you’re overreacting, etc. etc. Unfortunately in Lisa’s case, I guess there isn’t much you can do if the guy is just coming to your door and trying to be friends, I wish she could have gotten a restraining order or something. Thank you all for posting here, this case really touched me, Lisa was obviously very loved.
11:57 am on June 2nd, 2008
First welcome, all new posters. Secondly, I’m sorry for all of your losses.
2:12 pm on June 2nd, 2008
What a tragic loss. To all of Lisa’s friends and family- I am so sorry she was taken from you.
4:02 pm on June 2nd, 2008
Man…She even got her hands on a knife? That’s disheartening.
The son of a bitch who did this can be put down, now. He’s done more than enough damage for one lifetime.
They really should streamline the process and deny appeals in cases like this.
4:12 pm on June 2nd, 2008
Yes they should – and in cases like Rowan, Riley, Benjamin, etc., etc.
4:21 pm on June 2nd, 2008
Please permit an old man two pieces of advice. My 22 year old daughter lives in a building across the street from Ms. Maas. She was mugged on a nearby street but survived.
Advice Item One: its corny, but true – ABC, always be civil! Civility, politeness is nothing more than smart self-defense! A troubling number of computer users develop the habit of flaming which spills over into face to face communication. That’s dangerous to you! Even with a flaming email, save it for 24 hours, then reconsider toning it down, if you want to persuade someone of anything. Sending it just to hurt someone is a waste of your time.
Advice Item Two: Please look over your profiles on Myspace, and anywhere else, and take down anything that discloses any vulnerabilities you have! Ms. Maas’s pinkdiamonds69 has the statement “I am an alcoholic.” Remember, whatever you put up may get saved and probably will be cached, and you never know how or when it can come back to hurt you! After someone is convicted of a crime and punished it may be possible for the victim or family to sue to recover, and not only from a deadbeat criminal. Maybe the doors on her apartment in that building weren’t appropriately strong, or negligently maintained, and her family could recover. Ms. Maas lost her father at age 8 and only has a mother and two sisters. Further, you never know, when you put an admission like that on the web, whether it could hurt you later in applying for health insurance, car insurance, a job, etc.
4:30 pm on June 2nd, 2008
Geezer – two very good pieces of advice. They are both true. Especially, #1, how hard is it to be polite? I also think being polite to some people can be dangerous. You never know what freak may misinterpret your simple “hello” into “I want you, Baby”. – but that is their problem.
I still have to go with the “be polite”. It doesn’t cost anything and can save you a whole lot. After the first “politeness”, if it becomes a problem, then you can turn snotty and use all the “mean sayings” that you have been storing up for just such an occasion. Try the polite approach first.
6:13 pm on June 2nd, 2008
(((Bartender))) I’m sorry for your loss. You make her sound very special. I hope you have close family and friends to help you through this time.
8:20 pm on June 2nd, 2008
To all the friends of Lisa: She sounds like she was very loved and very special to all of you.
To Bartender: Thank you for writing such a wonderful tribute to Lisa. I was very touched by the things you revealed. Very honest, very sweet and caring. Wow.
10:42 pm on June 2nd, 2008
She does sound as if she has so many friends. This is such a tragic story.
Good points, Geezer. I want to elaborate on this part of #2. When you move into an apartment, think like a killer. Make sure the locks are changed, put locks on the windows, balance bottles on your window frames so they will fall if the window is jimmied. Pretend you want to get inside and work hard to figure out the weak points of your security. I once turned down an apartment because it had five locks on the door — it was on the first floor in a slightly dicey neighborhood and those FIVE locks told me past tenants had been pretty concerned about keeping people out and there was probably a reason.
Women — don’t take an apartment on the first floor. Halls and stairs can be a place for someone to lurk, but a first-floor apartment makes it easier to spy on you and a much easier way to get in through a window.
It sucks to live life in defensive mode, but that’s what you have to do. You never know when some creep is going to get the wrong notion about what it’s his right to do to you. I know from hard experience.

Some bitch by the name of Tiffany wrote this on June 1 on Lisa Maas’s MySpace Golddigger blog entry.
“Her myspace has ‘bad attitude’ written all over it, I have this feeling she was one of ‘those girls’ in high school. Guess she learned the wrong way to not be judgmental and keep her trap shut.”
How could anybody write something so heartless and cruel when a girl is dead all because some stupid creep wouldn’t leave her the fuck alone? I don’t understand how this cunt Tiffany can be so disrespectful on the MySpace page of a girl who can no longer defend herself against such comments. The fact that somebody can actually sit there and say that Lisa Maas deserved to die just disgusts me beyond belief. I almost want to throw up knowing that there are people out there like this that are so hateful and will attack a murder victim instead of showing any kind of decency about the situation. Please tell me that I am misinterpreting this, that nobody can be this cruel.
Also I am sorry to Lisa Maas’s friends and family for your loss. I cannot even begin to imagine how difficult this is for you.
2:18 am on June 3rd, 2008
“those girls”
What, beautiful, popular? Sounds like this Tiffany bitch has a major chip on her shoulder about her rank in her own high school. She took a cheap shot at a deceased person’s Myspace, I bet she got the warm & fuzzies after hitting that submit button. Pathetic.
I’m too lazy right now to log on myspace and look, but how old is the fuckin’ cunt?
2:38 am on June 3rd, 2008
She’s 23, and seems to have serious “issues”, shall we say, by looking at her self-description. I was especially amused by this:
“All Christians are BIGGOTS. It’s a fact, learn to face it.”
How about,
All Muslims are….
All blacks are…
All Jews are…
Isn’t ascribing a negative connotation to “ALL” members of a certain cultural, religious, or racial group the very definition of bigotry?
While Christians might be a more “accepted” group to pick on, this is blatant hypocrisy. Pot, meet kettle. And learn to spell “bigot” while you’re at it, stupid whore.
3:18 am on June 3rd, 2008
I replied… (Rhonda Jo). I couldn’t help it.
Could it be that she is (or wanted to be) the smelly fucker’s chick??? She looks like the type that could love a smelly dude. Stupid bitch!
Think you got something worth saying? Type it out. If you don't wanna look lame, get rid of that default avatar and go get you a gravatar! Tell 'em Morbid sent ya'. Lastly, as far as we are concerned, posting a comment means that you have read our Disclaimer.
