PLATTE CITY, MO. (AP) -- A northwest Missouri man accused in the hatchet killing of one woman and the razor attack of another woman will be arraigned Monday.
Quintin P. O'Dell of Platte City was charged Saturday in Platte County with one count of first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the May 31 hatchet attack that killed Alissa Faye Shippert. The attack occurred while Shippert was fishing at the Platte Falls Conservation Area.
O'Dell also was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the Dec. 26 razor attack in Ferrelview. The victim in that case was disemboweled but survived.
A detective said in the probable cause statement that O'Dell confessed to both crimes this past week.
O'Dell is jailed in Platte County on a $750,000 cash-only bond. He currently has no attorney.
