A Florida woman accused of killing a neighbor was indicted on a first-degree murder charge Wednesday after it was revealed in court that she allegedly hacked the victim’s body into pieces and tried to cremate them using her stove after drugging and stabbing him to death.

Angela Stoldt, 42, of Deltona, was arrested in April 2013 in connection to the killing of James Sheaffer and was initially charged with second-degree murder.

On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted her on charges of abuse of a dead body and tampering with physical evidence, on top of the upgraded first-degree murder charge.

Prosecutors said they will not be seeking the death penalty in Stoldt's case.

In September, Stold's attorney filed a motion claiming self defense under Florida's controversial 'stand your ground' law, but Judge Randell Rowe III rejected the motion.

Court documents obtained by Daytona News-Journal this week revealed chilling new details about the 2013 murder and its gruesome aftermath.

James Sheaffer, a limousine driver and a married father of three, had reportedly asked his neighbor, Ms Stoldt, to act as the payee on his Social Security disability benefits, but the 36-year-old kept overdrawing their joint account.

The limo driver also wanted Stoldt to ask her father for a $4,000 loan.

On the morning of April 3, 2013, Stoldt, with her two children in tow, picked up her neighbor from his work at Blue Diamond Limousines and drove to her home on Horseshoe Terrace, where the two drank vodka and peach schnapps cocktails.

But according to court filings, the mother of two spiked her neighbor's beverage with a prescription pain medication, which she had stolen from her father knowing that it causes drowsiness, especially when mixed with alcohol.

Stoldt then allegedly loaded the drugged man into her car and drove to the Osteen Cemetery after dropping the kids off at her parents'.

By the time the two reached the burial ground, Sheaffer and Stoldt got into a heated dispute over the loan.

‘Sheaffer said that he was going to kill Ms. Stoldt as well as her children,’ the stand-you-ground motion stated.

During questioning, Stoldt told detectives that Sheaffer started yelling at her and 'swinging his hands around.’

The woman said that while Sheaffer never actually hit her, he started coming at her in a threatening manner, making her fearful for her life.

'I just snapped,' she was quoted as saying. 'He came at me and I stabbed him.'

That is when Stoldt pulled an ice pick from a box in the backseat and plunged it into his right eye, but the burly limo driver allegedly kept coming at her.

She then grabbed a cord with two handles and used it to strangle Sheaffer by wrapping it tightly around his neck.

After the man stopped moving, the 42-year-old mother grabbed the ice pick again and drove it through Sheaffer's left eye.

She then wrapped the man's head in Saran Wrap to keep him from bleeding all over the car interior and drove home, with Sheaffer's corpse propped up in the passenger seat, the ice pick still protruding from his face.

After parking her car in her garage, Stoldt shoved her dead neighbor's body out of the car and plopped it in a kiddie pool, leaving it there for the night.

The following morning, the suspect allegedly went to work hacking James Sheaffer's body to pieces with a hacksaw.

According to the judge's order rejecting the self-defense motion, Miss Stoldt told police she had tried to 'destroy the evidence by cooking and cremating body parts.'

The woman reportedly said that she put some of Sheaffer's remains into pots and tried simmering them on the stovetop, and also placed one of his legs in the oven hoping to burn it.

Having failed that, Stoldt dumped the mutilated body parts in trash bags and disposed of them with the help of her teenage son, who was led to believe that they were getting rid of a deer his mother had killed with her car the night before.

To cover up the murder, Miss Stoldt then buried her neighbor's cellphone and driver’s license in different parks, and got rid of the pots and pans used to boil human flesh.

When Stoldt's daughter, who is now 16 years old, asked her about the foul smell lingering in the house, the 42-year-old woman initially lied that a rat had gotten trapped inside the oven.

But she eventually came clean to the girl, telling her that she had drugged and killed James Sheaffer after he threatened to kill her.

However, it was not until three weeks later that Angela Stoldt confessed to the rest of her family, prompting her sister to call 911 on April 21 because she was afraid the distraught, sleep-deprived woman might commit suicide.

In the course of her questioning, Miss Stoldt spoke without hesitation of her attempts to dispose of her neighbor's corpse.

'Thursday is when I was cooking him. Friday is when I was dumping him,' she was quoted as saying.

The woman showed little remorse for her actions, telling police she believed at the time Sheaffer was going to ruin her life.

‘I’m sorry, but I put Jimmie where he belonged, in my opinion at the time,’ she told detectives.

Ms Stoldt eventually led sheriff's deputies to various locations around Volusia County to help recover James Sheaffer's remains, but officials said they were never able to locate all of Sheaffer's body parts.

Investigators who canvassed Sheaffer’s Deltona neighborhood looking for the missing man before Stoldt’s confession had talked to the woman on more than one occasion. She acknowledged being friends with Sheaffer and said she handled some of his financial affairs for him.

She told investigators that she last saw Sheaffer on April 5 and 15, even though family members hadn’t seen him since April 2.

The investigation took a turn April 20 when Stoldt’s sister called 911 saying that the mother of two was acting suicidal and had admitted to killing James Sheaffer.

The caller told the Sheriff’s office that Stoldt was hugging her children and saying goodbye.

‘Why’s she hugging her kids goodbye?’ the emergency dispatcher asked. ‘Because she came to the house and she told my parents that she committed a crime and that she’s being investigated for it,’ the woman’s sister replied.

Ms Stoldt initially declined to talk to investigators and was taken in for a mental health evaluation. But officials were able to obtain a search warrant to enter her house, where they came upon evidence indicating a crime had been committed there.

A short time later, Angela Stoldt confessed to stabbing and strangling Sheaffer, and then disposing of his body. Stoldt then led investigators to a location where human remains were recovered.
