Show notes

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Moms and Murder! This week, we're taking a detour to discuss a case that feels like it was ripped straight from a reality TV script. In fact, that was the defense! We're talking about Dalia Dippolito, the newlywed wife who was "5000% sure" she wanted her husband dead.

In this episode, we break down the unbelievable story of a murder-for-hire plot that was caught on camera, thanks to the TV show Cops.

Here’s what we cover:

•A Whirlwind Romance: Dalia and Michael Dippolito met, fell in love, and got married, all within a few short months. But their honeymoon phase was short-lived.

•The Sting Operation: When Dalia's ex-lover-turned-informant tips off the police, they set up an elaborate sting to catch her in the act of hiring a hitman.

•Lights, Camera, Action!: The entire staged crime scene, including Dalia's infamous hysterical breakdown, was captured by the cameras of the TV show Cops.

•The Big Reveal: We walk you through the jaw-dropping moment at the police station when Dalia, believing her husband is dead, is confronted by the ghost of her past—a very much alive Michael.

•The Reality TV Defense: We discuss the bizarre defense strategy that claimed the entire murder plot was a hoax staged by the couple to get famous.

•Three Trials Later: It took three trials to finally bring Dalia to justice. We cover the verdicts, the appeals, and the final sentence that landed her in prison.Join us for this quick, but crazy, bonus episode that proves truth is often stranger than fiction.
