In March 2017, a 25-year-old man in Dubuque, Iowa placed a frantic phone call to 911. He claimed his girlfriend had just died in front of him - by stabbing herself in the stomach. The next day, he was arrested and charged with her murder. But was her death a suicide or a homicide? The question would divide a community, send shockwaves through the courts, and pit two families against each other.

Unseen Entity
On October 23rd, 2022, 21-year-old Jared Dicus and 21-year-old Anggy Diaz posted a photo on Facebook that surprised their friends and family alike. It was a picture of Jared holding Anggy in his arms as they shared a kiss, celebrating the fact that they had just gotten married. This announcement came as a shock to their friends and family for a couple of reasons: first, no one was invited, and second, they had met less than a year ago. However, setting aside judgment, it appeared that the two truly loved each other, and perhaps this was just another story of love at first sight. Yet, despite how good things seemed, something dark was brewing beneath the surface, only to be revealed after a disturbing 911 call was made just a few months later.

Have Gun–Will Travel
When a wealthy businessman and his live-in friend were discovered dead in an upscale Arkansas neighborhood in 2002, the execution-style murders sent ripples across the country. Shortly after, a woman goes missing from her job in Salt Lake City, Utah. What connects these two horrific events is a single man and a lifetime of growing delusions, culminating in a shocking nine-year ordeal of violence and delayed justice.

Secret Project
On the afternoon of March 19th, 2018, residents in Lake Wales, Florida were going about their usual day-to-day business. Adults were just getting off work, kids were returning home from school, and others were finishing up their errands. But, around 3 PM, that all changed when waves of police and paramedics made their way to a neighborhood on the south side of town, surrounding a small field near Caloosa Blvd and Lake Blvd. As public interest grew and residents watched on, they learned that just beyond that field, in a small but dense area of trees, lay the dead body of 15-year-old Giovanni Diaz. As for the suspect, 16-year-old Dillen Murray, he was already in custody, claiming that he had beaten the boy to death in self-defense. It just so happened that the community themselves had far more information than investigators initially realized, helping to piece together the puzzle of how a hang out between friends turned deadly.
***We originally covered this case in an abbreviated “Felony Friday” mini-episode back in 2020. This is a follow-up full length rewrite now that the perpetrator has been sentenced and all investigative reports have been made publicly available.***

Strength in Numbers
The Cloud 9 nightclub in Ocala, FL was a hotspot for young people seeking an unforgettable nightlife experience. The venue had become notable in the community for its raucous crowd and the constant illegal activities that occurred within. When 19-year-old college athlete Benetria Robinson returned home from college to Ocala to celebrate her aunt’s birthday at Cloud 9, neither she nor anyone else in attendance could have anticipated the dark turn the night would take when an argument started up in the middle of the club…
