A convicted sex offender accused of killing a Northeastern State University professor and setting her body on fire inside her Tahlequah home last year has been bound over for trial. Cherokee County prosecutors wrapped up their case against Joshua J. Schneider in front of Associate District Judge Mark Dobbins Wednesday morning...
Schneiders ex-girlfriend, Heather Black, testified during the first day of the preliminary hearing in August that Schneider confessed to tying up Maher and strangling her with a pillowcase before trying to set Mahers body and home ablaze.
Black testified that Schneider claimed he had been blackmailed when Maher learned he was an unregistered sex offender. He allegedly told Black he bound Mahers hands and feet, suffocated her, then tried to set fires in several places of her home.

Black also reportedly told investigators that Schneider had, at the beginning of June, come home with a karaoke machine with CDs, a small computer, a Kindle Fire e-book reader, a DVD player, and a television. Also missing from Maher's home was her car. It was found in the parking lot of a south Tulsa apartment complex..
The report shows investigators searched Maher's office computer and found that she visited dating websites like plentyoffish.com and okcupid.com. A search of her phone records also turned up a cell phone number with the name "Big Daddy" entered.
Records from Amazon told investigators that the Kindle Fire was de-registered on May 28 and re-registered the same day to a "Big Daddy." That account had Schneider's information attached. Investigators were able to obtain his home address in Broken Arrow from that...
