A Secret That Killed: The Murder of Evalyce Santiago
On a cold December evening in 2017, 16-year-old Evalyce Santiago made a fateful decision that would cost her life. The aspiring lawyer from Waterbury, Connecticut threatened to expose her secret relationship with 27-year-old Dominique Pittman—a family friend who was also the father of her aunt's children. What happened next on Thomaston Avenue would shatter a family's trust and reveal the deadly consequences of hidden predatory relationships. Through multiple false confessions and a web of lies, investigators uncovered a tragic case of intimate partner violence that ended with three gunshots and a burning car crash.
