The way he just refers to her as "someone" and won't tell the 911 operator who she was is the first red flag.

[@HopeeInk]

I don’t like how the media only called her Micheals Jackson’s sister-in-law or Tito’s ex, she was a loveable person and her death should have been taken seriously even without the connection to the Jackson’s.

[@zoeysworldofficial]

I was thinking about that too when the woman said it I was like “why did she feel the need to say “Micheal Jackson’s sister in law” the case was about Dee Dee not Micheal. It really shows how obsessed the media was of Micheal.

[@christinafidance340]

I think it just says a lot about how they know the people will care more if they feel like it’s more relevant to them personally and everyone knows who Michael is. The media outlets are simply trying to get views and sell papers and now-a-days, get likes & shares.

[@beaubryant4465]

but that's literally a rule in journalism. when they're reporting a story, they can't use the proper names in the headline, unless the name is well-known enough to be immediately recognizable. "Local Woman Found Dead", "Florida Man Accused Of Attacking Child Over Playground Noise", it's nothing to do with the value of person theirself, it's just how headlines work. and, how people work in general. you see a headline, "Dee Dee Jackson Drowned", your eyes glance over it bc you've already collected all the information. there was a woman named Dee Dee Jackson, and she drowned. you don't know anyone called Dee Dee Jackson, but you feel sorry for her family. end of interest. "Michael Jackson's Sister-In-Law Drowned" tho, that's you recognize Michael Jackson's name, you learn he had a sister-in-law, you learn she drowned, but you don't immediately have all the information. who was his sister-in-law? would you recognize her? why did she drown? the headline has to inspire curiosity in order to draw attention. it's not personal, or obsessive, or malicious, it's just good writing.

[@mamabearp2301]

Totally random, but the fact that Michael Jackson decided not to come to the funeral as to not draw more media attention was such a nice thing for him to do. They also stated that MJ swept them away afterwards to get them out of the media and out of a slump.

DeeDee’s death is definitely suspicious, I just don’t think there’s enough evidence to convict Don. This is a tough one.

[@nisha5669]

I think that they had a pretty good amount of things to convict him off of her body told a story, his multiple changing of stories told a story, even the defensive ones which I see was not mentioned it was found on his body tell the story. The jury said he was convicted because of the lack of wanting to tell the truth and even the judge said that he was not very good with the truth.

[@coolcat1684]

That is my same opinion …

[@masterk5372]

It easy he did it simple as that

[@kimkardashianjong-un6299]

Same, because despite her not being able to swim, i can see her expecting to only be in the jacuzzi but then she got super drunk and thought she was invincible and Don thought she was swimming but she was drowning the whole time. But at the same time, her family saying why was DeeDee in water to me is very compelling because my grandma cannot swim and HATES water. So if someone tried to say my grandma was swimming or that she got in a pool i would know 100% that did not happen. But i agree it’s not beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it. I feel bad for him

[@melissylum4106]

I agree! ALL of the evidence was circumstantial. It's not enough on its own. While I wouldn't be shocked if he did in fact do it, I wouldn't be shocked to find out he didn't do it, either. How sad.

[@debturcott6800]

People fighting off someone trying to save them in the water is nothing unusual. When you take life saving you are taught this.

[@Solonneysa]

I agree with Deb Turcott - Life saving courses teach that a person who is panicking, confused, and drowning, will fight unintentionally. Add that someone is drunk, and it's entirely possible a drowning person would fight. I also don't think her not telling them is that weird. Sometimes people don't tell friends/family everything, and people find the smallest things "exciting" or "private." For example, she could have kept it quiet as a fun thing to reveal later, but we can't know. The "Olympic flips" description is definitely weird, but he was also drunk af so who knows what happened there. He may have misinterpreted things. It's possible he accidentally killed her, but I also don't see motivation for him to have murdered her. It could have been accidental. Someone else mentioned their terror around pools and drunks - they mentioned that party people will try to throw each other in, and I have also experienced this. It's possible he was messing with her, and she ended up in the pool, and he didn't intend for her to die. He did pull her out of the water. He could have left her there. He could have neglected to call 911. He also didn't have injuries, though, so if he did "beat her for hours" as was suggested during the video, it's weird that he doesn't have injuries from that. Honestly, I don't think we'll ever know, for sure.

I used to work as Lifeguard and you would be shocked to see what kind of damage CPR on a pool deck can do.

Even pulling someone out of the pool without a backboard can scrape someone up pretty good.

[@MaxKimy]

that's true :) but when someone is as intoxicated as she was, tends to do pretty stupid things and even get bolder about stuff you might never do when sober. D: I really wonder what really went on.

She was extremely intoxicated with impaired judgement as a result. Intoxicated people believe they can do anything unless they're passed out imo.

[@ameliawelch4903]

@Emi I agree the “Olympic” park can sound more intense than it is. But a flip turn is under water and if you’re just learning to swim and have been scared of water for many years, it’s unlikely you’re doing a flip turn/Olympic flip. It just doesn’t add up

[@piss-v4l]

flip turn is extremely easy, literally everyone i know that knows how to swim including learnt it when they were very very very young, it is THE core element to switch faster in order to get a better grade. it’s harder if ur doing a flip and then yanking ur legs, stretching them out and pushing the wall to kind of like switch, which is what competitive swimmers do but i doubt she did it. she was just intoxicated and wanted to do it

I believe he has guilt for what happened but I don’t feel as though he meant to kill her. There is sadness in his eyes. But that could mean nothing if he is a narcissist sociopath.

Right. I think he was probably negligent due to being drunk, but they’re both grown adults who were allowed to get drunk if they wanted too. If she did get in the pool herself, then I can’t necessarily say he’s really responsible at all. He’s definitely lied some, but he was also drunk and lost his girlfriend that night. I don’t think he should be setting in prison for this.

My wild guess is they got into a drunken fight and became agressive, he pushed her into the water and left, once he came back he saw she was not breathing and remebered she was not a swimmer. Alcohol makes you more violent and there is a huge possibility he genuinely thought she could swim at the time...I do not think he meant to kill her but he was def involved in her death.

Why wouldn't she share that with them? 3. Why allow someone you know to have been drinking THAT much to swim in your pool especially when they were just learning to swim? 4. Donna's wedding so close to DeeDee's death and on the day of her funeral. I'm not saying that it proves he did it, but it definitely doesn't make him look good either.

Don helping her overcome one of her greatest fears to the extent that she was able to do 'Olympic turnarounds' (very disorienting if you're not entirely comfortable in the water, so weird) sounds like a dang miracle... yet Dee Dee never bragged to a friend, or showed evidence to a relative by swimming in front of them-???

Fearful adult swimmers take along time to learn, a lot of patience, and practice.

[@joypressley4821]

The fact that they went through a whole bottle of Liquor says alot. The alcohol probably got to her to fast, and on top of that she didnt know how to swim. Don was also drunk but was probably a little more alert and realized that he was in deep trouble.

[@onedirecton20]

She was such amazing mother to her son’s

[@yoonqie8731]

Would love to eventually see you cover the Gabby Petito case that’s unraveling right now! She’s currently missing from a cross country trip with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend drove all the way home without her and refuses to give any information. Her parents say they’ve received texts but they know it isn’t her, last time they spoke to her and last time she posted was august 25th! I’m hoping and praying she appears and he didn’t do anything horrible to her.

[@carlarivadeneira4402]

Yes !!!

[@kats4331]

She most likely will wait till more evidence comes out. But yes I hope she covers it

[@LizEffington]

This shit is what makes it difficult to get an impartial jury. Yall need to seriously chill until there are any actual facts about the case. Everyone thinks since they watch Kendall or whatever true crime channels they're experts.. You're not, let the cops at least try to investigate goddamn.

[@fieryhellkitten]

I think it’s interesting that this is being blown up by the media. There’s odd local cases of missing people of color, but the missing white girl gets all the media attention. It’s just weird how they pick and choose what cases to focus on. If y’all think I’m exaggerating this, look at what happened with the grim sleeper serial killer. He mainly killed woman of color, so no one noticed.

[@annabrooks7714]

@@fieryhellkitten I get what your trying to say but it's not just a local thing. They traveled across country and he went home without her. So she could be anywhere from Utah to Florida. Just because the maps of their trip show a straight line doesn't mean he took it like that he could've ventured off the path with her

[@angiereyes935]

Definitely think it’s weird how he didn’t show any sign of remorse since they were in a relationship, but what I find even weirder is how when he called 911, he said “someone” was drowning in his Pool and when they asked him who, he just said cmon? Very strange

[@jeskanicole8770]

This hits close to home. My daddy passed away at a very young age (36) and his death was ruled accidebtal drowning. An investigation happened but nothing ever came from it, it was like law enforcement didn't really try to figure out what happened. I still believe he was killed. Prayers to the family, its something you can never get over.

[@brittanyholtgreven4106]

How after she was face down in the pool, did she then "fight his assistance"?

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Exactly, swimming doing Olympic turns to drowning to face down to fighting him oof off to fighting the pool net to do with. Odd, yet way to much alcohol involved!!!

[@MissUnderstood-yi1zm]

And... how was she (someone) drowning in the pool as he stated to 911 but then said that he got her out of the pool. Did CPR then called 911. How was she drowning in the pool at the time of the 911 call if he called them after she was out & CPR had already been performed? 🤔 suspish at best!

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

I say it was murder. Anytime someone who fears water or can't swim dies in water, it's never them. People also don't commit suicide with their biggest fears, so her boyfriend murdered her.

[@kay-bc3vl]

I agree. I also suspect that his initial plan was to maybe act like he couldn’t tell who was in his pool - which is why he said “someone”. Like he was gonna pretend he was watching from afar

[@bjjjb3056]

I've heard a lot of times people in public won't say the name of who needs 911 to keep negative people out

He deserves a second trial purely because of the fact that there was so much fuckery going on. I personally have the slightest feeling he didn't do it but wouldn't be surprised if he did. He just needs another trial and if he does get convicted again, it has to be with more evidence than this.

[@kristybryan9902]

I agree. Whether or not he is guilty, everyone deserves a fair trial and anyone can see that trial was definitely not fair.

Donna had her wedding on the day of Dee Dee’s funeral. Perfectly illustrates how little Dee Dee meant to them.

[@cherryz-111]

I think that's unfair to say. Everyone grieves in different ways and Donna said that this it what Dee Dee would've wanted her to do. I could just easily say that it would be weird if Donna called off her wedding. Wouldn't she want to savor the last "memory" she had of Dee Dee?

Unpopular opinion, but given that he was drunk I dont think its weird. They werent in a relationship, so I think suddenly he just didnt how to refer to her. You dont normally say the name of a person in a 911 call either.

[@Pthelibra3]

@@Anna-dv5jy even if they weren’t in a relationship I’m sure they were at least FRIENDS. Why didn’t he say my friend is drowning? Somebody makes it seem like a random person went into his backyard and fell in his pool. They were both found unclothed, she deserved more than “someone.”

[@Anna-dv5jy]

@@Pthelibra3 You're right it definitely sounds odd and the whole case is suspicious. But regardless of the rest of the information in the case, calling her "someone" can also mean that he didn't consider her a friend either.
