Student Stabbed To Death In The Netherlands Said Roommate Made Death Threat

A Minnesota psychology student who was murdered while studying abroad in the Netherlands told a close friend that her 23-year-old roommate had threatened to kill three people. Sarah Papenheim sent a series of text messages to her friend, Adam Pryor, six days before she was found stabbed to death in her room saying that after her roommate made the death threats that she was considering going to the police.

"I could tell she wasn't doing right because she was just being weird over text and then I asked her what's wrong and she said she never talks to anyone anymore," Pryor told "Good Morning America." "[She said], 'I work full time and I have school full time and everything is just so f----d up right now. My roommate told me is going to kill three people so I'm gonna to have to go to the police.'"

Papenheim also spoke to her mother, Donee Odegard, before she was killed and voiced concerns that her roommate was acting strangely. She told ABC News, that she warned her daughter to stay away, but Papenheim was convinced that he would not hurt her.

"Mom, he is my friend. I am his only friend. He would get angry, but I can always talk him down and change his mind," Odegard said.

A 23-year-old man was taken into custody by police, but they have not identified him as the investigation continues.
