Man allegedly admits twice to killing his wife to his ex-girlfriend
Michael Rodriguez told his then-girlfriend, Donna Williams, twice that he killed his estranged wife Patricia Rodriguez, according to The Buffalo News. Williams testified Monday at Rodriguez’s murder trial after saying she had to admit her sins.
The first time Rodriguez told this to Williams was April 13, 1979, Good Friday. Rodriguez called Williams, asking her to come to their home in Lackawanna and said, “I just killed Patty in the cemetery,” according to Williams.
When Williams came home, she said she cleaned up the blood in the bathroom and Rodriguez’s brown leather jacket when he was asleep.
Williams told an Eric County Court jury that Rodriguez told her that he killed his wife a second time a year later, while picking Williams up from work.
Williams then threatened to leave Rodriguez and when she did, he threatened to kill her as well. The body of Patricia Rodriguez, who was 21-years old and a mother of two, was found with 108 stab wounds.
Williams eventually moved to Virginia with their son.
Rodriguez is currently being held without bail.

Australian Man finds spider burrowed in his stomach
Last Friday, Dylan Maxwell, an Australian man, was on vacation in Bali, an island and province of Indonesia, when a spider burrowed itself into Maxwell’s stomach and survived for three days, according to NBC.
Maxwell went to a local medical center in Bali. He was prescribed antihistamines for an insect bite.
The doctors ran more tests and discovered a tropical spider was living Maxwell’s stomach. The spider entered Maxwell’s body through a small appendix scar and traveled up his torso.
A red trail was left, tracing the spider’s movements from Maxwell’s navel to his chest. Once Maxwell returned to Australia, the spider was removed through his navel.
Maxwell said that he felt violated, but is glad the spider is out of his body.
