A 31-year-old woman from Anderson was officially sentenced Friday after pleading guilty last month to first degree murder. 64-year-old Teri Bigoski mares was shot to death in October of last year at her home in El Rio Estates on Riverside Avenue in Anderson. Crystal Ann Odom had been recently kicked out of the house for theft. She had been staying at another home in Anderson, from which she stole a 45 caliber pistol. She snuck into Bigoski’s home through a window and lay in wait for her in her bedroom before shooting her twice in the back. She used the gun to strike the other occupant of the home in the head before fleeing. Odom was arrested the following day, still in possession of the gun. She’s been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison plus life without the possibility of parole.
