Disappearance and Investigation

• 80-year-old Edna Suttles, a beloved resident of Travelers Rest, South Carolina, disappeared on August 27, 2021.
• Surveillance video showing Suttles with handyman Daniel Glen Printz led investigators to uncover a chilling timeline.
• Printz was revealed to be responsible for the deaths of at least four women, making him a serial killer.

The Crime and Interrogation

• Printz gained Suttles' trust before drugging a yogurt container and giving it to her.
• He then kidnapped her from the parking lot and was later seen wiping down his vehicle.
• During interrogation, Printz was overly talkative and attempted to charm the detectives, recounting his past military service and personal history.
• He initially denied involvement and provided a convoluted story about meeting a private investigator with Suttles.

Prince's Shifting Narrative

• Detectives presented video evidence showing Printz and Suttles together, which he eventually acknowledged.
• He claimed to have dropped Suttles off at her house, but video evidence contradicted this, showing his vehicle leaving the area without returning to her home.
• Printz's story about wiping down the car was attributed to worry about someone after Suttles, specifically a private investigator she was meeting.

• Printz confessed to suffocating Suttles with a plastic bag and burying her on a farm.
