The male, Michael Cerasoli, had injuries to the back of his head and stab wounds to his chest. Cerasoli was pronounced dead at the scene and authorities found a bloodied knife that was near Cerasoli’s body.
Investigators noted in their report that two cellphones were found in Cerasoli’s room; one belonged to Cerasoli and the other belonged to Maks. Maks and Ceraoli lived together at the home, according to the police report. Maks was not at the home when first responders arrived to the scene. Once Maks was found she reportedly had a knife and a hammer on her and was not wearing any shoes. Police spotted blood on Maks’ leg and saw she was bleeding from her toe. A portion of Maks’ shirt also appeared to be cut or torn. Police documented that the portion of the shirt had blood.
Maks changed her story when questioned about where she lived. The detective noted in the police report, that Maks stated she had been homeless four about four years.
She reportedly told the detective she was hospitalized earlier in the day after she had a panic attack at gym where she was running on a treadmill.

Maks denied seeing Cerasoli the day of the murder, but then changed her story saying she did Cerasoli that day. Eventually, Maks refused answering further questions and asked for an attorney. Police told Maks they were going to collect a DNA sample from her. According to the police report, Maks requested a soda. Police handed her a diet Mountain Dew.
Police noticed Maks was taking her time with the drink so they tried grabbing it from her. Maks refused handing it over and resisted. She reportedly poured the drink all over her body. DNA testing results showed Maks’ blood and Cerasoli’s blood matched the blood on the knife found next to Cerasoli’s body.
