LongfellowSerenade 30
Eddie Dante Propst, a 37-year-old man from Hickory, North Carolina, was engaged in a violent encounter resulting in the murder of his girlfriend, Laura Matthews. The crime took place on Mother’s Day, May 8, 2022, in their shared apartment. Propst first stated that he had gone to go to a gas station and returned to find her unresponsive after being assaulted by someone else. However, subsequent research found a history of aggressive behavior against Matthews, including hitting her during an argument and making choking movements. An autopsy indicated serious injuries, and Propst's DNA was discovered on Matthews' clothing and corpse. Initially charged with first-degree murder, Propst accepted an Alford plea to second-degree murder during his trial. He was sentenced to anything from 26 years and four months to 32 years and eight months in jail.

Eddie Dante Propst, a resident of Hickory, North Carolina, has been involved in a significant criminal case that has garnered considerable attention. Here is a detailed report on his case:
Background and Incident
On Mother’s Day, May 8, 2022, Laura Matthews, a 29-year-old woman from Hickory, was found deceased at a residence on 8th Avenue Southeast in Hickory. The Hickory Police Department responded to a call regarding an injured or sick person and discovered Matthews' body. Initial investigations revealed that she had died as a result of an assault.
Eddie Dante Propst's assault left Laura Matthews with significant injuries, including a broken neck, fractured nose, punctured lung, pulverized liver, broken jaw, and broken ribs. The autopsy found a significant amount of force utilized, a direct strike to the face, restricted respiration, and a broken lung. Her left jaw was fractured, as were all of her ribs on the right side and five on the left. There was evidence of sexual assault found at the crime scene. The autopsy revealed the presence of semen in Laura Matthews' vagina and anus.These injuries triggered a severe and protracted attack, resulting in her terrible death.
The motive behind Eddie Dante Propst's assault on Laura Matthews appears to be rooted in a history of domestic violence and a volatile relationship. Reports indicate that Propst had a pattern of abusive behavior towards Matthews, which culminated in the fatal assault.
Charges and Arrest
Eddie Dante Propst, who was 35 years old at the time, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Laura Matthews' death. He was taken into custody at the Catawba County Detention Center without bond. Propst had a history of domestic violence, and several incriminating statements made during police interviews, along with DNA evidence, linked him to the crime.
Legal Proceedings
In August 2024, Eddie Dante Propst, then 37, pled guilty to second-degree murder in Catawba County Superior Court. This plea came after extensive investigations and evidence collection, including video surveillance showing Propst assaulting Matthews days before her death and testimonies from individuals familiar with the couple's violent history.
Sentencing
Following his guilty plea, Propst was sentenced to 26 to 32 years in prison by Superior Court Judge Matthew Osman. The sentence reflects the severity of the crime and Propst's history of domestic violence.
Conclusion
The case of Eddie
Dante Propst highlights the tragic consequences of domestic violence
and the importance of thorough investigative work in bringing
perpetrators to justice. Propst's conviction and sentencing serve as
a reminder of the legal system's role in addressing and penalizing
