The Odor In Crystal Skiba's Home Was So "Rank" Police Had To Take Breaks To Catch Their Breath

[Sugar Cookie]

When police in Florida had to search through the squalor of Crystal Skiba’s home, they said the odor was so rank they had to take periodic breaks to catch their breath before they could resume probing the scene for clues about a social media hookup that ended in attempted murder charges.

Skiba, 28, was arrested on April 24 and in addition to the attempted murder charge, she was also slapped with seven felonies and four misdemeanors including shooting into an occupied vehicle, possession of a controlled substance — methamphetamines, namely — kidnapping and false imprisonment, child neglect, contributing to delinquency of a minor, marijuana possession and more, according to an arrest report from the Hardee County Sheriff’s Office.

Skiba’s victim, a fellow Floridian who opted not to be identified, told police that he began chatting with the 28-year-old woman via Facebook and the two became “flirtatious.” Skiba gave him her address and the man told police he came over around 2 p.m. Officers would show up a little more than an hour later.

Skiba allegedly invited the victim into her home and that’s when he noticed she had two young children. Skiba allegedly hurried them off to another room and shut the door, then led the man into her bedroom. Clutter, he told police, was everywhere. The man said he noticed a black handgun on the bed and thought it was a 9 mm.

Skiba started “attempting to seduce him and get him sexually aroused” and at one point, the man said Skiba performed oral sex on him, the arrest report said.

Then Skiba straddled him and according to police, she asked the man she had only just met: “You know you can’t leave without paying me, right?”

The man said he tried to “casually” leave her home but Skiba grabbed the gun. He began to flee, telling her he thought he was being “catfished” and “set-up.” As the man reached the front door, Skiba allegedly “barricaded” it off and attempted to keep it shut. Since there was no doorknob, however, it was stuck slightly ajar.

The man told police he tried to calm Skiba and told her: “I don’t want no problem with you, please don’t hold me here. I won’t call nobody, I won’t do nothing, please let me leave.”

Though he managed to squeeze past her and start walking to his car with his hands in the air, he said he heard the Florida woman cock the gun.

'Flirtatious' online date ends with attempted murder, child neglect charges and fleeing man

A woman in Florida is facing an attempted murder charge after an online date says she started shooting at him when he refused to give her money.

The child neglect charges against her are a product of the wretched conditions Skiba’s children, ages 5 and 7, were forced to endure, according to police.

Odors of cat urine and feces, stale and rotten food and trash and mold and mildew were overpowering, according to the arrest report.

“The odor within the residence partially interfered with the investigation as law enforcement personnel had to periodically take a break. The living conditions were atrocious with mounds of trash piled into the two rooms to be occupied by the children,” one arresting officer said.

There was an “infestation of roaches” and each of the children’s rooms contained only cribs unsuitable for either child to sleep in. The mattresses were shredded and a “stench” emanated from them. The kitchen was so full of debris, police said they could not walk it in at all. Bare wires were exposed throughout the house and there was not a morsel of food that was not spoiled or laden with roaches.

Nothing gets a guy hotter and sportin' wood like the odors of cat urine and feces, stale and rotten food and trash and mold and mildew.

 

[DamagedGoods]

That must have been one hell of a blow job.

Hey,

The remark implies that police officers had to take breaks from their investigation because they were having trouble breathing due to strong or foul smell emanating from Crystal Skiba's house.

A situation like this could point to a number of different things, from serious neglect or unsanitary circumstances to possible health risks like chemicals or hazardous substances. The adjective "rank" suggests that the smell was quite overpowering or repulsive.

Skiba started “attempting to seduce him and get him sexually aroused” and at one point, the man said Skiba performed oral sex on him, the arrest report said.

This is getting interesting.

Skiba allegedly “barricaded” it off and attempted to keep it shut. Since there was no doorknob, however, it was stuck slightly ajar.

In that situation, it is certainly important to have a good, strong grip on things.

Though he managed to squeeze past her

Oh, so he is finished now. Did she get finished, too?

he said he heard the Florida woman cock

yEAH she did!

I really don't think it's fair FL man gets all the hate,I'm starting a petition to make FL HO a thing!

 

[Angiebla]

My old, sick cat used to urinate on the same spot on the carpet by the door. The whole room smelled like it. Cat pee is strong. I guess she didnt have a litter box, or was too lazy to clean it.

Also shes high as balls in her mug shot.

Im surprised the guy didnt nope out when he walked into that house.

 

[VLGRDSPLY]

I can't believe he actually went into the house, how hard up was he??? You know that smell hit him in the face the min the door opened.... I would have right then h there been like hmmm... maybe this wasnt a good idea n left...

 

[Busy Bee]

To agree to meet a person on Facebook, a person you’ve just met online? This is a Big Red Flag! To go somewhere like that, and step inside with that cloud of noxious Odor coming at you! He then sees two small children, and he went into a bedroom with her!! This woman’s got her own little home business going on! She’s probably done this before! Nasty !!

 

[mind the gap]

Very desperate Men. Most of the men where I am are so lonely. You have to learn to live alone guys...

He was interested in conversation (allegedly)

Skiba’s victim, a fellow Floridian who opted not to be identified, told police that he began chatting with the 28-year-old woman via Facebook and the two became “flirtatious” as they discussed work he might have lined up for a “horror production company” he wished to start.

Skiba started “attempting to seduce him and get him sexually aroused” and at one point, the man said Skiba performed oral sex on him, the arrest report said.

Though he tried to talk about his horror production company business with her, she seemed “disinterested,” he told police.

He could have made a horror film right in that house.

 

[DamagedGoods]

Yeah you don't endure chemical warfare in order to talk about your horror production business.

 

[knockout]

How was he able to walk through the house and stay in there, long enough to get a BJ?

 

[cubby]

I would just assume that somebody who lives in a house that nasty would have some very horrible germs, viruses, diseases on her body that I would just turn right around and run out. Just gross!

Chatgpt? Seems AI generated.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the media is trying to save money that way. I also suspect a lot of YouTube narration is AI due to pronunciation errors and whatnot that bugs me.
