Harris County news, Texas news.

A depraved Texas teen allegedly admitted to chasing his neighbor through her home and killing her just to feel “what it was like to stab someone.”

The 15-year-old juvenile knew victim Dana Magnuson, 62, and used to help her with gardening chores, her son Tyler Pitney said.

Magnuson was found dead in her shed on July 20 but investigators said she was attacked in her hot tub before fleeing to the shed.

  • “There was still blood everywhere,” Pitney said. “I’m just numb. The way my mom was murdered in cold blood makes me feel some type of way I can’t even describe.”

    The suspect was arrested nine days after the gruesome slaying of Magnuson, a beloved school bus driver who lost one of her three sons to suicide.

    “My goal in life was to buy my mom her dream home and never have her work another day in her life,” the grieving son said.

    “My mom is the best mom ever and if you had the pleasure to ever meet her or call her your friend then you know what I mean. She’s an angel and always has been.”
