A murder affidavit alleges that a Denton man lived with his deceased fiancee’s body for about a week after he shot her in the head and cleaned the crime scene. Denton police charged William Joseph Oddo III, 52, with murder and tampering with evidence Monday in the slaying of 39-year-old LaVera Wardell after police say he voluntarily confessed to the killing. Investigators believe the incident took place May 6, but police did not discover Wardell was deceased until May 19.
