The Day Dalia Dippolito Tried To Have Her Husband Murdered
32:59 Share

It’s a warm morning in August, 2009, when 26-year-old Dalia Dippolito decides to go to the gym.

Dalia has long brown hair, tanned skin, and has only recently started working out. She leaves her house just before 6am, and drives the two kilometres from her house in Palm Beach, Florida, to the local gym.

In the months prior, she’d started exercising with her husband, 38 year old Michael Dippolito. They’d been married less than a year, and to anyone who knew them, they seemed happy. 

But that morning, in the middle of a Florida summer, Dalia got a phone call. 

It was a detective. And she was instructed to return home, immediately. 

What she saw as she drove down her street was a crime scene. There was police tape and police cars, and a detective tasked with the job of telling Dalia what had happened. 

But by that evening, Dalia’s entire world had been turned on its head. Sitting in the police station, it was almost as if she’d been visited by a ghost.
