PHOENIX -- In a jailhouse interview with 3TV's Marissa Wingate, a Phoenix woman admitted killing a man confined to a motorized wheelchair after torturing him for days because he was a "snitch."
Angela Simpson, 33, told 3TV she promised Terry Neely sex and drugs in order to get him to come to her North Phoenix apartment.
Once there, Simpson said she beat Simpson with a tire iron, hammered a nail into his head, pulled his teeth and strangled him with a television cord.
"You made him watch it through a mirror?" Wingate asked.
"Yes, I did," Simpson replied calmly. "He needed to see what he deserved."
Wingate describe Simpson as articulate and straightforward. When Wingate asked her why she killed Neely, the answer, to Simpson, seemed simple.
"I don't want my children or the people I consider family to be in a place where there are snitches," she said.
Neely lived in an assisted-living home not far from Simpson's apartment and often rode around in his motorized wheelchair. Simpson admitted that she barely knew Neely, but she did consider him a snitch.
"He told on a righteous person years ago," she said. "He told me that."
"I beat him to death. ... I killed him and cut him up," she said.
Simpson told Wingate she dismembered Neely's body and stuffed it into a trash can, which she then torched. The burning trash bin was found outside a North Phoenix church on Aug. 5. Police arrested Simpson for the murder on Aug. 19.
Simpson, who was already in jail when police caught up with her, told Wingate this is not the first time she's killed.
"I believe informants and child molesters should be killed ... period," she said.
Simpson said she was "kind of relieved" that police arrested her. She also said she takes medication and might be considered mentally ill.
"I think something's wrong with the world that I live in, but, according to other people, yes, somethiing is wrong with me."
Wingate asked Simpson if she felt guilty about Neely's death.
"Guilty? For ridding the world of a snitch? No, I don't feel guilty," she answered.
....."Once inside the apartment, police say Simpson began beating Neely with a tire iron and hammer. She also pulled out his teeth and strangled him with a television cable.
She said she tortured Neely for three days.
According to autopsy results, Neely sustained multiple blunt-force head injuries and a 3-inch nail had been driven or hammered into his brain. He was also stabbed approximately 50 times, his throat was sliced and he was dismembered.
Simpson admitted that she dismembered Neely and placed him in a trash can. She borrowed a car and drove to a church at Ninth and Peoria avenues and set the trash can on fire.
Simpson allegedly committed a robbery along with Edward McFarlan, better known as "Cracker" last week. He reportedly told his apartment complex manager about the gruesome murder but threatened to kill him if he told polilce. "
".....Phoenix police have released the name of the murdered man whose body was found in a burning trash can in the backyard of a Phoenix church earlier this week.
According to investigators, Terry Neely, 46, was living at an assisted-living facility. With the help of surveillance video, detectives have determined that the last time Neely was seen alive was when he left the facility in his motorized wheelchair on Aug. 2 at about 8 p.m.
Police have confirmed that Neely's body had been paritally dismembered when it was found stuffed in the trash can in the area of Ninth and Peoria avenues Wednesday morning. He was later identified through fingerprints.
Neely's motorized wheelchair was not found at the scene. At this point, police do not know where it is.
Phoenix Police investigators are asking for assistance in finding the motorized wheelchair (click here for a photo )-- and any information regarding his death. If anyone has any information about this incident or saw Mr. Neely with someone on Sunday evening they are encouraged to call the Phoenix Police Department, Violent Crimes Bureau at 602-262-6141 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
