DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A Volusia County woman suspected of killing her 79-year-old roommate allegedly doused herself in soda in an attempt to erase possible evidence on her body, according to an arrest affidavit.
She poured diet Mountain Dew all over her body when police told her they were going to collect her DNA as part of the investigation, authorities said.

Nichole Maks, 35, was booked into the Volusia County jail on Aug. 5 on charges of first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and resisting arrest with violence, jail records show.
