If not, we're just happy to have you here. Kegare, do you have your 10 seconds for this week? I do have my 10 seconds. Well, a couple of things. Peyton and I went and saw Corella this weekend. Oh, we did. It was so good. Peyton really wanted to see it. And I really loved it. She liked it a lot It was fun and I mostly liked it because of the accents the whole movie had accents and I love it It was actually really good movie if you haven't seen it you should go see it. Mm-hmm. It was good and then Well Yesterday I spent like three hours power washing

Like our house basically and then I kid you not 10 minutes later, we got this huge wind storm. So yeah. So Garrett's having bad luck this week. I am having bad luck this week. That's about it for my 10 seconds. I don't really have anything else. We're going out of town this week

before it's July. Oh, yeah, we're excited about that. Yeah. Anyways, that's my 10 seconds, everybody. Okay, we are just going to jump right into this. This case was actually suggested by one of our really good friends named Rachel. So, Rachel, if you're listening, hi, thank you for suggesting this to us. Our case sources are a 2020 episode called Woman in the Video, the hotline.org, www.sunsetan and intel dot com another JCS criminal psychology video

and then YouTube. Our case this week takes place in Florida, which Florida, if you don't know, basically has the reputation here in America as the place where the most insane crimes take place. Like the most crazy mind blowing never saw it coming crimes take place. And I feel like it's not just crimes, but just stuff in general, like just be weirdest, most insane things happen in Florida. So on October 4th, 2008, in Boynton Beach, Florida, 38 year old Michael DiPolito decided to look for an escort for the night while his wife was out

of town. Michael was an entrepreneur which really gives us not much clarification about what he does, but 35 minutes after calling a service that night, 26-year-old Dahlia Muhammad came unknocking on married Michael's front door. I'm not quite sure what magic Dahlia had, but only two weeks after that first service, Michael DiPolito filed for divorce from his wife after seven years of marriage and immediately proposed to Dahlia with a $20,000 engage marriage. Oh my gosh, okay.

Yes. So Dahlia obviously said yes and the two got married four months later on February 2nd, 2009. Like I said, I don't know what magic she has, but she has something. Yeah, escalated quickly. Dahlia and Michael as the new Dipliito couple were overly affectionate and did not have

a problem with PDA or public display of affection. To the point where their new friends would begin to get uncomfortable around them, they were just a very loving couple. On March 12, 2010, a month into their new marriage, Michael DiPolito's probation officer comes over unannounced for the first time ever. Michael had actually served seven months in prison back in 2001 for a fraud operation and was given 28 years probation. But this was the first time his probation officer in one year, eight years probation. Yeah, he like got out early. Okay. So that's what he was given.

According to JCS criminal psychology, the probation officer and two detectives confronted Michael with the news. Did they had received multiple anonymous calls about Michael selling drugs from his home that he shared with Dahlia? They searched the home and found nothing. The next weekend Dahlia and Michael went to a nice resort in Palm Beach for the weekend. And towards the end of the trip, Michael and Dali awoke up to police searching Michael's car in the parking lot, claiming they had received another anonymous call that he was dealing drugs

out of his car. Once again, the cops searched it and find nothing. Two weeks later, Michael and Dahlia finished their dinner at a fancy restaurant when they exit the restaurant and find police searching Michael's car in the parking lot again. Okay, I think I might know where this is going, so we'll see. What? I don't want to spoil it if I know it. Oh, you can say it. No, it's okay, you've gone. Okay, but this time police discover an actual baggy of cocaine in the vehicle inside, like it was inside a pack of cigarettes, and Michael pleaded with them,

please I'm being set up, this has happened three times. Like it's not me, I don't know where that cocaine came from. And because of all of the anonymous false accusations, the police actually decided to let him go. They were like, we believe you, we do think someone's trying to set you up. The next morning, Dalia broke the news to Michael that she was pregnant and together, this couple happily began planning for this next chapter of their life together.

It was the summer of 2009 when Dalia and Michael woke up together for a typical day. Around 5.40 a.m., Dalia headed to the gym and Michael got ready to walk the dogs. This was just like a couple months later. It was roughly an hour later when Dahlia received an unexpected call at the gym from a sergeant with the Boynton Police Department asking her to return home immediately. Something had happened. Dahlia rushed home and was astonished to see crime scene tape,

news crews, and police surrounding her home. Dahlia walks up to police and they tell her that they had responded to a call of shots fired at her home earlier that morning and her husband, Michael DiPolito was dead. No, okay. Police bring Dalia to the station and try to console her as she's freaking out. She tells them, you know, he's on probation and someone's been setting him up recently. She names a couple of business associates that he had worked with that maybe, you know, might have it out with him after his legal trouble.

Police tell Dahlia that Michael had been shot twice and it looked like he had answered the door and then was attacked. Now all of this is awful and Dahlia is like distressed in the room. She's crying. She's sobbing. But the shocking twist comes when the police officer brings a man who is cuffed into the interrogation room with Dahlia. And he asks her if she recognizes him and she's like, no. And he says, well, this is the man we caught

leaving your home after responding to the 911 calls. So they had caught someone. Yeah, something seems fishy here. So Dahlia claims I still don't know him and so please escort him back out of the room. The next man they bring in to confront Dahlia will turn this case on its head. The detective opens the door and uncomfortably in walks Michael DiPolito himself alive and well.

I think so, he's dead. I did. The detectives tell Dahlia to quit the act and quit the game. They know the truth, and so does everyone else, including her husband. They know that Dahlia had hired a hitman to kill her husband that morning. And fortunately for Michael, the hitman she hired was an undercover cop. What? No way.

Way. Like she actually hired a hitman. Yes. What? No way. Way. Like she actually hired a hitman. Yes. What the heck? So back when Michael was being set up for Dilling Drugs, he had actually confronted Dahlia the third time because no one else knew they were going to dinner that night. And so he's like, you were the only one that knew.

So did you plant these drugs in my car? Dahlia freaked out. She was driving the car. She began driving manically going over a hundred miles power. And so Michael apologizes, it's like, sorry, my brain's just like, I'm just trying to figure out who's doing this to me. I really don't think it's you. And he calms down. Police later said that part of the reason they let him go that night was because they had a feeling that Dahlia actually had something to do with it based on how she was acting as her husband was breaking down.

She didn't care. She just sat there. There was no emotion. It was the next morning that Dahlia lied to her husband and told him she was pregnant when she most definitely wasn't. Okay. I was going to ask was she actually pregnant? Okay.

She was starting to freak out that he had like been catching on that he actually asked her if she'd been doing it. So she thought, oh, I have to do something. Come up with something. Yes. And that same day that she told Michael, she was pregnant, she texted her ex-boyfriend saying that she wanted to hook up with him and she missed him. Not exactly in those words and a little bit different words, but we'll say it.

So when she meets up with this ex-boyfriend who she had like brought him in and then pushed him away and then brought him in like this ex boyfriend had been through the ringer with her and still showed up that day. So this isn't all an act then like the cop pretended that Michael was dead so on and so forth. Okay. So when she meets up with this ex boyfriend, she asked him to pose as a lawyer to her new husband whom she hated and tell him that in order for him to get off probation, he would

need to move his house solely into his wife's name. So the ex-boyfriend, called Michael, posed as a lawyer, told him exactly that, and Michael did it for his pregnant wife. And Dahlia, after all this happened, never talked to that ex-boyfriend again. What is going on, okay? Dahlia then contacted another ex-lover and asked him to hire a hitman to kill her current husband. Now that the house was in her name, she would be left the house and everything, but he needed to die. It's apparent that Dahlia had men at her back in call.

Like through this whole thing, she was using her good looks, she was very attractive to get what she wanted. This new ex-lover said neither no or yes, but instead drove to the local police after meeting with Dahlia and told them Dahlia's intentions. Hey, my ex-girlfriend just retracted me and she asked me to hire Hitman. That's one way to get back at an ex. Police decided at this point in time

that they would plant a camera in his car and have him meet back up with her and say yes. So instead of just like contacting her and being like, hey, someone reached out, they're like, we're gonna have her go through with it so we can actually arrest her. So they plant the camera in his car and he's like, okay, yeah, out, they're like, we're going to have her go through with it so we can actually arrest her. So they plant the camera in his car. And he's like, okay, yeah, well, let's do it.

And Dahlia and him meet back up. And in this little part, Dahlia gave him a picture of Michael, a picture of their house, and a $3,000 down payment all on camera in his car. Police decided to take the sting operation one step further and have Dahlia meet with the supposed hitman that her ex-lover had hired for her. Keep in mind this hitman is a cop. He's going in undercover. So not even six months after the dipolito marriage, Dahlia climbed into a parked car to converse with a hitman she had hired via her ex-lover. The supposed hitman was actually an undercover narcotics cop from the Boynton Police Department.

I will now play some audio from the undercover camera that was hidden in the back seat of the car. You'll actually notice during it if you're just listening. Dalia looked at like several times into the hidden camera in the car. Like several times. I had no idea. But like, I think she was just suspicious. She didn't know it was a camera, but she could tell she was just looking around. Like, is this, she's hiring a hitman right now. Hey. We're thinking correct.

How about here, yeah? I just want to talk about this and stuff. Time to wait. You know what? I'm gonna tell you how I'm gonna do it. And one exact same thing. And on a figure recommendation, you know what you want, but you know what I'm doing. This is your husband, or son. What friend? You know, it's been having a good man.

No, the real thing is, you know, after I talk to you today, you know, this small garbage. You want be able to get over us. Okay, I just want to make sure that, you know, it's much more, sure you want to keep it in the dark. Could we really come? Oh really? You know, I'd rather be at left, you know, in the dark, yeah. All right.

So as you can tell from that audio, Dalia is very unwilling to really say any words the equal complete condemnation. She's skidding around saying, I want to kill him. And the cop is trying to say, so do you really want to kill your husband? And she's like, I don't want to, like she can tell she doesn't want to actually say the words just in case. So you can tell she doesn't want to actually say the words just in case.

So you can tell she was a little suspicious. They decide together that the plan would be that she would go to the gym early in the morning while Michael normally takes the dog for a walk. And then when Michael would come back to the house, the supposed hitman would strike while she's at the gym. So the morning of Dahlia showed up to the gym at 5.40 a.m. and meanwhile police showed up at Michael and Dahlia's home, knocked on the door and said, hi Michael, we're the police and your wife is trying to kill you right now. She thinks that a hitman is coming to your house to kill you.

So we need to take you out of the house to continue this seeing operation. Okay. Can you imagine being confronted with that? So Michael's like, geez, okay, so they take Michael to the station. They set up the police, like the news cameras. They set up the crime scene tape, everything. Roughly one hour later, police would call Dalia home from the gym and inform her of her husband's murder that had not in fact actually happened. Now, the news crews that were surrounding the house

were actually there to document everything for police. So they were actually recording. And they recorded the whole entire scene once Dali arrived and it's brutal to watch. It's uncomfortable because everyone there except her knows that her husband isn't actually dead inside that he wasn't actually murdered.

And she's fake crying. Yeah, and they know that she's the one that hired him and that she's completely acting right now, but it's so awkward. So we're going to play you some audio and if you're on YouTube, you can watch the video. Listen, we had a report of a disturbance at your house and there were shots fired. Is your husband Michael? Okay, I'm sorry to tell you, man. He's been killed. He's been killed.

He's been killed. No, wait, I... No, no. Try to calm down. Right now, we need to get you to the police station. I can't let you stand, man. We have to do our job. If you want to refine his killer,

we need you to calm it up. I'm'm gonna need you to go with these different tips. So after bringing her into the station, they continued to stay in character. They even brought in the undercover cop in handcuffs who she thought was the hitman and said, hey, we caught him. Do you recognize him? And she's like, no, that's when she said,

no, I don't recognize that man. Even though she literally met with him in a car and said, I'm 9,000% sure I want you to do this. And then obviously, like, you know, they break the news to her that it was all recorded and she's going to gel, they have everything she ever said about this and she claims over and over, I didn't do anything, I didn't do that.

I didn't do that. And they're like, no, Dahlia, like, we have the footage. Here's the footage. I didn't do that. She's in a shock. Like, yes, she just is like, no, I didn't do that.

They tell her to stop acting that they have all of the evidence and she still won't say anything claiming she doesn't understand understand what's happening and that she didn't hire someone to kill her husband. The detective tells her, well, your husband is actually alive, obviously, and Michael is

brought in around this point and we will play the audio for you as he confronts her. As he walks into the room and says, hi, I'm alive. Why'd you try to kill me? Oh my God. Can you hear me? Come here please. Come here. Like, come here. Come here please. Come here. Why not? It's coming.

Come here please. Come here. So detectives feel like this case is open and shut. Obviously, like they have footage of absolutely everything. They have footage of her saying she wants, she's 9,000% sure she wants them to do it, giving money, giving a picture of Michael, like they have everything. And they attempt to get a confession after this.

They bring her back in, try to get confession, but they aren't pushing it very hard because they just don't need to. They don't need a confession. Despite the effort and the evidence that she's confronted with, Dahlia will not confess and still denies everything, even though they show her footage of her, she's like, I didn't do that. And they're like, yeah, that's you.

And she's like, I didn't do that. It doesn't even make sense. So she was taken to gel and given a phone call. And who do you think she calls? The lawyer friend. No, she calls Michael. Oh. Who she just tried to kill.

And Dahlia is straight up gaslighting Michael in this call. According to JCS, she tries to cultivate doubt into Michael's mind by making him question his own perception of what he knows. OK. She's trying to use persistent denial Michael's mind by making him question his own perception of what he knows. Okay. She's trying to use persistent denial and change the subject to destabilize his thought process. So basically in the call, she's like, Hey, Michael, I need you to hire a lawyer for me. And he's like, I know that you just tried to kill me.

And she's like, no, I didn't. And he's like, Dahlia, they kind of, they showed me everything. They showed me footage of you literally saying that you wanna kill me. Michael, they showed me the same thing and I didn't do it. And he's like, wait, yeah, you like you, I watched the same footage and she's like, I watched all the same footage to Michael

and I didn't do it. You think I'd do that to you? And he's like, I heard you saying you do it. I heard that to Michael, but I didn't do it. So she's like saying I saw everything. She's totally gaslighting him, like making him, it's like so frustrating to watch because you're just like, oh my gosh, you can't even argue with it. There's nothing you can do.

She's crazy. Yes, yes. And she's completely talking in circles, which you can't really argue with. It's typical narcissistic and sociopathic behavior according to JCS, criminal psychology, which this is what he does. He knows all about this. My heart hurts for Michael during this phone call. It's a horribly toxic relationship.

You can't argue with a narcissist and he's trying his best. And she even gets mad at him. Like, well, you don't even love me because you're not trying his best. And she even gets mad at him like, well, you don't even love me because you're not trying to help me get a lawyer. And he's like, you just tried to kill me. She's like, no, I didn't. Oh, I just hang up. I would even, yeah, you can't argue with it.

And that's why I feel bad for him because she is so narcissistic. Like it's insane. The most obvious example of narcissism I've ever, I've ever witnessed. Dahlia would spend 20 months in jail before going to trial in April of 2011 because she's pleading not guilty. At trial, Dahlia would claim that the whole thing was a hoax because they together as a couple were trying to get Michael on TV because he loved TV and he wanted to be on TV. And her lawyer was okay with this?

Yes. So her lawyer gets up and goes, you can't believe this because the only reason she acts like this was because they wanted this outcome, but then all the sudden Michael changed his mind. Like they wanted this outcome, they wanted it to be like, oh, my wife tried to like, it was a whole show. That's their defense.

I'm not gonna lie, it's actually a pretty smart defense. I feel like- I mean, because then you can excuse all of the time she stayed undercut. Like, according to them, she stayed acting. Yeah. You know what I mean? So after three hours of deliberation, the jury came back on May 13th with a guilty verdict. Okay, good.

I thought somehow she was gonna be found not guilty and I was gonna freak out. The jury came back on May 13th with a guilty verdict. Obviously you- Okay, good. I thought somehow she was gonna be found not guilty, and I was gonna freak out. No, because no jury is gonna watch that undercut footage, have all of her ex-lovers come in and testify about what she made them do and then believe her. They had so much evidence, so much incriminating evidence. So during his victim impact statement,

Michael DiPolito says that he was a good husband and that he loved his wife and that from the beginning, he didn't want this, he just wanted his house back, he was willing to work with her, like literally on the phone in the gel call, he's like, listen, Dalia, sign me my house back and I will try to convince them not to charge you. Wow. He's like, I just wanna get rid of you, sign me my house back and I I will try to convince them not to charge you Wow, I just want to get rid of you. I want my house back like and she's like I'm not that's my house. That's my house

She won't she just got caught instead of just letting it go She can't she can't let it go and so that's what he's saying in his victim impacts I mean like I didn't even want to come here. I was trying to work her. I was trying to be nice like she tried to kill me and I just said Give me my house back so I can have like an asset and move on with my life He says that he hasn't purposely like gained any attention from this and that he's gone to prison once too And that he admitted what he did when he went to prison. He went there He served his time. He got out and that Dahlia doesn't feel sorry for anything and she still won't admit anything after all of the evidence and that that's

two different type of people right there. He's like, that's a good person and a bad person because I did something bad and I admitted it and I served my time and she's done something awful and there's complete solid evidence and she's still counted minute and won't serve her time. She's still being the victim. He says that his dad passed away during the trial and he wasn't able to go see him because of the trial because he had to be here and he's like, that's not fair. Nobody is helping him and the first thing they are going to do once this is all over,

the defense is filing a pill because she wants to continue to hurt him. She doesn't want to take accountability. And I feel bad for him because you can just tell he's going crazy. Like he's like, I, this is insane. The judge says to Dalia. So keep my Dalia sitting there through all of this and they're ripping into her, which they should be and the judge says to Dalia that her moral compass is skewed and That she spent months trying to get rid of her husband trying to get him arrested on probation and that didn't work

Finally got his house over and then was like well now He won't sell the house and now I have to kill him to get the money And he's like that's a long time to try to hurt someone and you haven't shown an ounce of remorse. Like he goes, this goes past you just hiring someone to kill him. So rehabilitation would take at least 20 years according to the judge.

And so that's what he sentenced. 20 years, for the love of parole. So not even a month later, the sentence was thrown out on a technicality. And somehow, Dalia was able to remain on house arrest instead of in jail for six years while waiting for her next trial. She just tried to kill somebody. I was so mad.

I was so mad because she's just not, she's crazy. She's not a very good person. And I was so mad, I was like, so what happened after those six years? So in 2016, her second trial started, and she basically claimed the same thing. They were all chasing fame and Michael turned. She played the victim, stating that the police knew

she was attractive, and so they decided to pin her on this and do all of these undercover like because she's attractive. Yes. And that because they she said they just wanted fame too. And so they knew they could use my looks to get fame. Oh my god. Once again, narcissistic thinking. She said that they made the undercover cop in her ex lover threaten her gunpoint during those videos. She's like, what you can't see in those videos is that they're sitting in the front seat with guns pointed at me. And so I had to keep acting. She's crazy. So in June of 2017, Dalia DiPolito was found guilty once again. And on July 21, 2017, she was sentenced to 16 years in prison without the

possibility of parole. So 16 years, okay. And she won't be in prison without the possibility of Pearl. So 16 years, okay, and she won't be open for Pearl during all of those. Her release date would be August 24th, 2032. And all of her pills have been denied. So she won't be getting out at least until 2032. She will be held in Gainesville, Florida until the day of her release and she will be 50 years old at the time of her release and she will be 50 years old at the time of her release. Yeah.

So my biggest question once I researched this case that I had to go Google was, did Michael get his house back? I'm sure. Because it was in her name, right? I'm sure it was in her name. I'm sure it was in her name. I'm sure it was in her name. I'm sure it was in her name.

I'm sure it was in her name. It was total fra, I mean that was insane. Yes. So the judge granted him his house back. Oh, I thought you were asking me. No, I had to Google it because it was, and all I felt so bad for him, so he did get his house back. Oh, I thought you were asking me. No, I had to Google it because it was, and all I felt so bad for him, so he did get his specie rights.

And also a little fact is that Dalian, Michael's divorce couldn't be finalized until after the first trial was over. So during the whole first trial, they were technically still married, which is awful. That's like so awful, especially because she was basically making Michael feel crazy.

Well, I just think it's so awkward that she went to the house and she's the only one that thought that he was acting like. It was like probably acting and crying. Oh yeah, yes. It's so awkward. She was through herself on the police officer. Oh my gosh. And it's just like, I need to see my husband.

I need to see my husband. Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, luckily in this story nobody died. Yes. Because that ex lover went and said, hey, she's trying to hire someone. And so they got an undercover cop, which is just, but I also was like, go police, because they could have

just ended it there and said they were like, we're going to get as much evidence as we can against this woman. And I will say about this case, it's really hard when people live in such narcissism, like you can't argue with delusion, which is essentially what any argument with a narcissist is. It's like, it doesn't make sense. They're running in circles. They're gaslighting.

It's really hard to argue with that. So I do want to mention here that if you, you know, are in a toxic or abusive relationship and need help, you can call the domestic abuse hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or just text them at 1-800-787-3224. I. I mean, just in case, because it can be like a weird loop you can get in. But yeah, that is the case of Dalia DiPolito and Michael DiPolito. It's crazy. It's kind of a good change from like someone that has died.

Yeah, no death. Yeah, no death. I agree. I'm really happy that this case turned out that Michael was alive. But yeah, the biggest part of this case is just the undercover work in all of the video footage that they have of her.

And then the fact that she, and she did multiple interviews claiming to be the victim. So that was the insane case that we just covered of Dali and Michael. If you do wanna watch any of the footage, and so just listening to it, you can check that out on our YouTube channel that's murder with my husband podcast. But yeah, thank you guys so much for listening. Thank you for being here for another week with us.
