any indication she was sexually assaulted in any way? no. her clothes were not messed up. nothing to indicate that. she had no scratch marks. as we look at the body we notice faint red marks on the lips. that was interesting. there was no tie. there was no rope. there was no tape. just red marks. yeah. just red marks. little red marks that somehow looked familiar. it looked like two parallel lights and then perpendicular to those were little lines probably 1/16th of an inch apart. i have seen these before. wow, he used zip ties to bind her. he cut them off afterwards. he did we knew that immediately. the detective s mind went to the darkest of places. diane must have been restrained, helpless and terrified as she
with a very particular twist. he had gone into an office where a woman was alone and tied her up with zip ties and choked her. he did not kill her, but he did choke her. disturbingly familiar given what happened to diane holik. a decade before the murder tony confessed to kidnapping and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. it was there he met and married janet and was soon after patrolled after serving only 1/3 of his sentence.
you were at the office when she sent that to you? dennis said he got home from work late thursday and was back at the office early friday. we looked at it, could he have driven down to austin, murdered diane and driven back in time for work. and yes, he probably could have. they checked diane s answering machine and found messages from him. this one was left on friday the day after the big storm. she was dead by then. hey, you. if i don t hear from you in an hour i am calling the freaking police. i have to go by your house, okay? another message saturday morning. diane. what is going on? give me a call. you have me worried to death. bye. that could have been some sort of cover-up. dennis admitted their relationship was, iffy. we ran into rough spots.
questioned by austin police about a murder including zip ties, murder and said he knew nothing about it saying the similarities with earlier incidents are coincidences. is disgusting to hear you talk about being a devout christian and how much you turned your life around when one after another this whole thing goes back to similarities that i am sure are coincidental back in 1989. 1991, 1992. you are this reborn christian? you are going to sit here and lie about it. the truth was at that point police could only prove patterns of behavior, patterns that tony insisted he broke when he became a born-again christian. really? the detectives set up a trap and asked him it has fingerprints could possibly be found on a real estate flyer. have you ever handled a real estate flyer for a house for sale in west austin? no. then your fingerprints shouldn t be on it? correct. even as tony insisted otherwise they already received the test results from the real estate flyer saved by that
how he didn t want her to do this or that and that would cause arguments. she would not go along with it. yeah, right. no she wouldn t. she was independent. what was he? controlling. very controlling. that could be a difficult combination. yeah. so it was confusing. she proudly wore the spectacular ring, but the engagement was off and then maybe on again. and yet that very week, said her friends, diane told her she still didn t know what to do. so, she was going back and forth? yeah. emotionally a roller coaster. we couldn t see how it would work and none of us could see how it would work. she told sharon she made a date with another man. we kept telling her if you are still wanting to do these things, you are not ready for that.
