Daniels was known as outgoing and active, going out for long runs frequently.​
 
Wowzza! She is stunning. I bet someone wanted her and she didn't reciprocate his feelings.
 
The man who called 911 to report the death of Maggie Daniels didn't identify himself, but said he was a friend and that he thought it seemed like her body had been there for at least a day. The mysterious caller also said there were no signs of trauma to her body, but that a mirror was broken nearby.

The tape of the 911 call was released and can be heard in this news report, starting at the 1:08 mark

The guy that called the report in to police seemed too calm. I guess he could have been in shock, but it seems there was something "off" there. What does everyone else think?

I do hope there is evidence that leads them to her killer, but no matter who did it, it's a damn shame. Such a beautiful woman, by all accounts a wonderful teacher, and appreciated as a contributing member of her community. She had so much more living to do -- eight years (at least) teaching other people's children, and now she'll never know the joy of having and raising her own. My sympathies are with her family, I'm certain they are beyond heartbroken.
 
This is why I'm a hedonist. You just never know when your time is up. Enjoy life and don't stress the little things, or big things either for that matter. Because on the cosmic scale, all things are superficial.
R.I.P. to the woman in the article. I had no idea they made em like that anymore. It's a shame she never passed her genes along. Well, there's always cloning. Then again, not to speak ill of the dead, but she wasn't THAT gorgeous. 7.5/10

R.I.P. nonetheless
A most excellent argument for hedonism.
 
Progress made in Maggie Daniels case, police ask for help

Newton Police Chief Donald Brown says the past few days of work by authorities investigating
the death of Maggie Daniels has been "very productive."

Even so, Brown says his investigators are not at the point where someone could be charged in the death of the popular teacher.
[...]
and police say they have seen surveillance video from a nearby business that also shows Daniels alive on Friday.
[...]
investigators want anyone in the Newton area who has surveillance equipment at home or their place of business to check the video from the 27th of June and the morning of the 28th.

Officials not only want to see if Daniels is in any of the video but also who may have been with her, near her, or watching her.
[..]
officers went door to door again in the area on Monday and around the apartment complex where Daniels lived.

They were looking for people they may have missed during a door to door canvass of the area last week.

"Some people may have been gone for the week of the 4th,"
[..]
Anyone who
may have seen anything unusual is asked to call the Newton Police Department.

As the investigation continued in Newton, family and friends of Maggie Daniels attended her funeral in Cleveland, Ohio.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the family,
[...]
"We are working day and night and hope to resolve this soon."

I lived in Newton for a few years as a child. I currently live in Claremont, about 10 minutes away. Newton is definitely a small town, so is Claremont. I would walk to the theater downtown alone at age 9! Both places are the "murder never happens here" cliché. But in our case, it's true. The only other one I can remember is the 19 yo boy, he was missing for a long time before they solved his case. We have dedicated LE here, I'm sure, well, I hope, it's just a matter of time before they have a suspect.

New video has been released of police searching an apartment just a few doors down from where a popular school counselor was found slain.

(...) asked the police chief if the person who lives in the apartment is a person of interest in the case, but he declined to answer.

(...) learned police initially got two search warrants for an apartment and phone records. But investigators said they discovered something inside that required them to get a third search warrant.

Shocking.

Newton Police detectives have issued an arrest warrant for Sharam Howard Odom, but have been unable to find him. He’s wanted in the death of Margaret ‘Maggie’ Daniel, a 31-year-old high school counselor found dead in her apartment building where Odom lived as well.

Then again, not to speak ill of the dead, but she wasn't THAT gorgeous. 7.5/10

I would argue that her beautiful smile and most likely charming personality would raise her overall grade to 8.5/10. I've met some stunning women in my time that killed my boner the moment they opened their mouth to speak. Others, conversely,that made me want to get in their pants the moment they opened theirs.

For the record, I'm a confirmed hedonist too. :)

The hair was later found by authorities in Odom's closet,

[...]
During the search of Odom's house
[...]
police also recovered cell phones that revealed selfies of the suspect with scratches on his face.

Investigators did say that tests have not been able to determine whether Daniels had been physically assaulted and still authorities have yet to find any evidence of a link between Odom and the Newton High School counselor.

‘He was really quiet and observant.’

Court documents revealed Odom was previously arrested on charges of second-degree rape and assault by strangulation.

Those charges were subsequently dropped.

‘She seemed really friendly,’ said another neighbor. ‘She was always smiling.’
