On today’s episode we discuss the shocking case of Diane Zamora and David Graham aka the Killer Cadets. In the early 1990s, their seemingly perfect high school romance took a very sinister and evil turn, leaving an entire community stunned and shattered.
Join us as we unravel the twisted web of deceit, jealousy, and obsession that led these star-crossed lovers down the path of murder. Diane, a promising cadet at the United States Naval Academy, and David, an ambitious student with dreams of military glory, became entangled in a fateful love triangle that would have tragic consequences for all parties involved.
You will definitely feel a wave of emotions (mostly a lot of anger and WTF) as we uncover the chilling events leading up to the crime, the heinous crime itself, and the trial that gripped the nation. You will be left questioning the nature of love, loyalty, and the depths of human depravity.
Trigger Warnings for: murder, violence, graphic description of injuries, and victim-blaming.
