When 43-year-old Diane Holik was found dead inside her Austin home, homicide investigators were left with more questions than answers. Diane had no enemies. There was no apparent reason for anyone to…
For all his effort, Diane had firmly planted Ray in the friend zone, and everyone seemed to know it except him.
Eventually, he and Diane had a falling out.
He stopped returning her calls as quickly and became less eager to help with the little things.
Diane had not made an appointment or done whatever business she was supposed to do on Friday.
That's when she became concerned.
Um, and that's when she called the police department.
After Diane missed this meeting, one of her coworkers requested a police welfare check.
When officers arrived at her home, no one answered the door.
They went inside and eventually found Diane's lifeless body.
Do they know where they found her? Was it in the living room, the bedroom? I mean, I-
Yeah, she was in the upstairs bedroom where the, where the, um-
She never goes upstairs, ever.
Diane was found on the floor of the upstairs bedroom.
She was fully clothed and had been brutally strangled to death.
There were no signs of what led up to it, no argument, no forced entry, no warning at all, and no sign of how the killer had managed to disappear without a trace.
Um, I can tell you that it was ruled a homicide, uh, via strangulation, okay? And I won't give you any of the other details, um, right now
nowJust can't imagine why anybody would do that to her
Dennis claimed that he couldn't understand why anyone would want to hurt Diane.
But detectives weren't so sure he was being honest, not just about Diane's murder, but about their relationship in general.
