East Syracuse death linked to domestic violence
By Amada Caba
EAST SYRACUSE, N.Y.– Onondaga County Sheriff Eugene Conway gave a press conference Wednesday morning addressing the death of a Syracuse woman. Keith Lobdell, 58, has been charged with stabbing Rena Tindell, 61, to death. Her body was found early Tuesday morning outside a Motel 6 hotel in East Syracuse. Lobdell is facing multiple charges including second degree murder.
According to the statements given by Sheriff Conway, the victim and the suspect have known each other for years and this is not Lobdell’s first encounter with the law. A detailed account on cnycentral.com reveals that the suspect was charged with domestic violence on May 12th of this year. He was accused of beating and sexually assaulting her throughout the night.
On May 23th, Lobdell was arrested for domestic violence charges for a second time. This time the suspect struck Tindell with a baseball bat to the head and strangled her with a seat belt and his hands. He was immediately arrested but was released on November 3rd. The release was issued because Tindell paid for his $200,00 bail bond.
Security videos show that Tindell drove to meet Lobdell at the motel he was staying at. After fifteen minutes of talking, Lobdell stabbed her and then drove away in her car. “I don’t think, unfortunately, this is unique in these kinds of situations where domestic violence is involved,” Sheriff Conway said. He advises victims of domestic violence to seek help from authorities.

SUNY Oswego Toy Drive
by Julia Tilley, WTOP10-TV
Christmas trees have appeared around campus over the past few weeks as a way to get students involved in this year’s annual SUNY Oswego Toy Drive. The charity is oordinated by Casey Walpole. These Christmas trees are decorated with paper ornaments that have children’s ages’, names and holiday wish lists. The hope is that students pick an ornament and purchase and donate the toys the child asked for.
This event is in conjunction with the Department of Social Services, Catholic Charities, United Way, St. Mary’s Church, and the Nelson Law Office in Oswego. Last year, the Oswego community was able to help out 600 families and 1600 children, providing them with toys to unwrap on Christmas. The goal is to give each child in the community at least three toys and “stocking stuffers,” regardless of family income or economic status. “If these toys were not available, many children would go without, and after all that part of Christmas is for the kids,” said Walpole.
Participation in this year’s toy drive is simple: select an ornament off the tree, buy the desired toys, and hand them in (unwrapped) to Lesley Wallace or Stephanie Guynn in The Compass (145 Marano Campus Center) or to Angela Galvin in 151 Marano Campus Center by December 7 or December 14.
In a time of giving, this is a simple and sweet way to make a difference in the community, and in particular, make a difference in a child’s Christmas.
