Last week Houston police released a security-cam picture of a smiling black woman leaving a northside nursing home where a resident had just been stabbed to death. Someone called in to Crime Stoppers with a tip, and today HPD announced the woman had been arrested and charged with murder.
HPD Wonder Sam has confessed, HPD says.
She's got the unique name of Wonder Sam (middle or maiden name Arceneaux), 48, and has confessed to the May 7 stabbing, Houston police say.
She said she had been visiting another resident and then went to see Willie Hightower, 66. There were signs of a struggle at the death scene, police say.
