The case involving Daniel Printz is quite harrowing.

Daniel Glen Printz, from Bostic, North Carolina, met 80-year-old Edna Suttles at a Food Lion in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, in August 2021. After their meeting, he kidnapped her and brought her back to her home. Later, surveillance footage showed him returning to the Food Lion with Suttles, who appeared subdued but still alive.

Printz was seen on camera dropping Suttles' car off at a hotel and wiping down the inside of the vehicle. The act of crossing state lines with Suttles turned the murder into a federal crime¹.

Suttles missed work the following day, which led to an investigation by the Greenville County Sheriff's Office. They quickly linked Printz to her disappearance. A search of Printz's home uncovered Suttles' keys, bank card, jewelry, and pocketbook hidden in a bee box on his property. A yogurt cup found at the scene was tested and found to contain Lorazepam, Tramadol, and Cyclobenzaprine.

After his arrest, Printz cooperated with law enforcement and led them to Suttles' body buried on a property in Rutherford County, North Carolina. During the investigation, it was discovered that Printz was responsible for the disappearances or deaths of three additional women: Nancy Rego, Delores Sellers, and Leigh Goodman. He later confirmed his role in these cases in court testimony.

Printz entered a plea agreement which resulted in a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The agreement also stipulated that he would not be federally prosecuted for the other murders and disappearances, and federal prosecutors would not seek the death penalty for the Suttles case.

U.S. Attorney Corey F. Ellis referred to Printz as a “monster” with a history of targeting, kidnapping, and killing women. The life sentence aims to ensure community safety and provide some measure of comfort to the victims’ families.

This case is a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the profound impact of such crimes on the victims' families and communities. The collaborative efforts of local, state, and federal agencies were crucial in bringing Printz to justice.

Daniel Printz had a criminal history prior to the crimes for which he was most recently convicted. His criminal record includes:

• A 1997 conviction in Michigan for kidnapping another woman. For this crime, he was sentenced to 13 to 30 years in state prison.

• He was released in 2009, and his parole was terminated in 2011.

• Printz also had prior convictions for firearm possession and assault and battery.

These past convictions indicate a history of violent behavior and legal transgressions leading up to the more recent crimes for which he received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Based on the information available, Daniel Printz did not express direct remorse for his actions during the legal proceedings. However, there are indications that he discussed the concept of remorse in relation to his crimes. In a search warrant, Printz mentioned that he "hypothetically" assisted a close friend with the euthanasia of a family member and then stated, "That is one body." He also described that the friend had feelings of remorse and was going to "tell", which led to Printz describing the friend as the "second body".

Additionally, federal documents mentioned that Printz wanted to "disclose his sins" to investigators, and he admitted he had helped bury four other bodies earlier in his life. While these statements suggest an acknowledgment of his actions, they do not necessarily equate to an expression of remorse for the impact of his crimes on the victims and their families.
