10:04 pm
language and the way they act. after you watch that a while, you know exactly what they're doing. what they're thinking about. i'm going to get some flowers and ask her to marry me. it's very strange. i've been trying to -- you know. i've been to four or five concerts and for some strange reason, things just didn't -- things didn't work out. but they're going to work out today. so it's a pretty exciting day. >> some strange reason? talk about armed security guards, maybe? good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us. a florida beach beauty marries her dream man and the newlyweds are set to live happily ever till death does them part. tonight we learn the identity of the secret informant who alerts police to her murder plot. of course, it's her lover. yes. just six months into the marriage, she takes a lover. >> okay. she's walking up, she's gotten a call at the la fitness center to come home immediately. okay. look at the other cops. this is what i like.
10:05 pm
they all know. he's not dead. "oh, god. no. no." look they're all looking away, looking at the ground. uh-oh. scratching his head. supposed to be a very painful moment for her. work it. work it, cry. okay. it's about time she should bend over with abdominal pain. she's about to collapse out of grief. look at all the cops just staring at her. somebody please take her. take her so we can book her. >> tell us everything about who you know so we can take care of this.
10:06 pm
>> please, please, no. >> did you see all the cops standing around while she breaks down with grief? this is just a few hours after she puts those final special touches on his murder with a hit man. okay. you know, all the police are wired out the yin-yang. they've got everything wired on tape, on surveillance, their secret meetings in the parking love of the cvs. hello, surveillance tape. an investigative reporter joining us out of miami, the plot thickens. we were all wondering what could possibly be the motive. now, is it true, just 24 hours after she convinces this guy to put his $250,000 townhouse in her name only, she goes on a shopping spree for a hit man? >> as a matter of fact, nancy, it appears to be even a briefer time frame than that. from what we understand, the confidential informant, which is
10:07 pm
the friend she confided in. >> friend. friend. whoa, whoa. -- intentions -- check webster's dictionary, i think it was her lover. >> well, it's interesting. the allegation that this is the person who was involved, the allegation comes from attorneys for michael, who have filed a suit to try to get the property back into his name. and even they in their public statements have been a little careful to say that they are drawing the conclusion that there in fact was a romantic or sexual relationship. >> well hold on, hugh nolans. that's an excellent point. that's why you're the investigative reporter. we've got those lawyers with us right now, but first, let's take a look back at the alleged floor plan of that $250,000 townhouse. is it really worth killing over? i've got a description of it. granite tabletops, stainless steel appliances, tile laid on the diagonal. super-capacity whirlpool washer and dryer. but murder for this?
10:08 pm
yes, it's a $250,000 luxury pad. but out to jason brody and josh friedman. both joining us out of boca raton, florida, jason brody, and josh friedman, welcome. to you first, jason brody. your filing suggests that the secret informant is a lover. now, from my understanding, as a lawyer, practicing lawyer, you don't put anything in a filing that you don't believe is true. >> nancy, just to get to you good evening first off. that lawsuit was filed by sam killian who is working with us on this case. we're working the divorce aspect. what we've been told is there is possibly a lover out there. michael was not aware of this before. before he was informed, obviously, of this plot to kill him. but we're learning of all these facts over the last 48 hours. >> what facts have you learned over the last 48 hours? >> well, first off, the obvious one, that she had tried to hire
10:09 pm
somebody to kill him, and then secondly, that there was an informant and she might have had -- there might have been some sort of extramarital affair besides just being a friend with that person. >> hold on. let me look at mr. brody. some sort of extramarital affair. please. let's not put perfume on the pig. i'm reading the filings. it says, unknown to plaintiff, that's your client, during this time, defendant was seeing another man. >> again, like i said, like i said to you before, that filing is in the divorce pleading, that is not filed that way. >> you are representing him in what matter, jason brody? >> we are representing him in the divorce which encompasses, as you're aware, nancy, the marital home. >> let me go to you. josh friedman. both of these attorneys very well respected in the boca raton area. mr. friedman. if you are representing him in the divorce, then certainly you
10:10 pm
know whether he is claiming she was having a sex affair. >> good evening, nancy. what we know is what's in the pleading, is that unbeknownst to him, there was or was not a lover. we do not have any knowledge right now that he knew about any lover or any affair at this current time. >> okay. i'm holding the document in my hand. he is named as the plaintiff in this formal court filing. it says she's seeing another -- you know what? you guys want to parse words? fine. i've got the formal document filed by his lawyer in court. claiming that this confidential informant was her boyfriend. i'm going to go out to chief matthew immler, boynton beach police department. chief, i don't know if you counted on the ci, confidential informant, being revealed in this manner. what do you make of it? >> we're not saying it's the confidential informant has been
10:11 pm
revealed or not. obviously we don't reveal any information about any of our confidential informants. whatever you have there in the pleadings at this point in our opinion is speculation. >> i want to go to ellie jostad. what can you tell me? what are the updates on the case? >> nancy, as you know, this lawsuit -- now, what happened is on friday, just a week ago, she convinces, dahlia dippolito convinces her husband to sign over the condo just to her. both of their names had been on the deed previously. she told him that he needed to do it to protect his assets. that night, she allegedly tells this friend, this man she's seeing, whoever this informant is, that she wants her husband killed. the next day she gives him $1,200 to buy a gun and to hire a hit man.
10:15 pm
a newlywed in boynton beach, florida, accused of hiring a hit man to kill her husband. they'd only been married six months. but police say dalia dippolito unknowingly hired an undercover cop to do the job. police then plan this elaborate sting operation. faking her husband's death. calling her to the staged murder scene. they catch her entire tearful reaction on tape. in the end, she's arrested and she comes face to face with not only the hit man but her husband who is alive and well. >> there was a lot of sobbing and her arm wavering and trembling, but there was no wetness in her eyes. >> she was emotional, over the top hysterical, how you would react, right, if you thought someone was dead. stone-cold expressionless as she stood before a judge. she's actually at her mom's house right now. she went straight to her mom's house. that's where she's going to be on house arrest. >> she met this undercover
10:16 pm
officer, believed he was a hit man, in a car, in a parking lot outside a cvs. it was during that encounter she was asked numerous times by this undercover, are you sure you want to do this? at one point she laughed and said, i will be very happy. >> here's a woman who is saying she's 5,000% sure she wants to pay for her husband to be killed. and then at the scene you have a woman who is sobbing uncontrollably because she's just learned that her husband is dead. >> she also said i'm not going to change my mind. i'm 5,000% sure i want it done. when i set my mind to something, i get it done. >> no, no. no. >> now, look at all the cops around there. scratching his head, looking away.
10:17 pm
see, they're all in on it. this is a sting. look at the one in the middle staring at her. he's like, oh, yeah. >> we just need to take you to the station. >> they act like they're taking her away to console her, they're taking her away to book her. >> please, no. no, please. >> tell us everything about who he knows. who he's connected to. don't worry. >> we're taking your calls live, and tonight you'll be surprised to know that the defendant in this case, dalia dippolito, age 26, is at home with her mother. that's right.
10:18 pm
judge boris decided in his wisdom, the honorable ted boris, division w-129k, courtroom numbers one and two, criminal justice complex, west palm beach, florida, decided she should be allowed on house arrest. i wonder what mommy is cooking for dinner tonight. out to the lines, debbie in california, hi, debbie. >> caller: hi, nancy, i love that you speak up for people who can't always speak up for themselves. that's a wonderful trait you've got. >> thank you. i appreciate it. the reason i'm being a little lighthearted in this case is nobody's dead, nobody's dismembered, a very shrewd police chief, matthew immler, managed to nip this in the bud thanks to a confidential informant, not so confidential anymore, and they got the whole thing on video. and i guarantee you, debbie in california, all these phone calls, you know, the assassin would have long phone call conversations with her, i
10:19 pm
guarantee you she's not telling me, but that had to be being recorded. so debbie, what's your question tonight? >> caller: i want to know why is this woman, who's accused of murder, out on bail for only $25,000. i would be scared if i was her husband. >> i asked chief matthew immler that last night. he's a standup guy. he said the judge is in a much better position to make that call than him. he defended the judge. but let's throw it to the lawyers. susan moss, family law attorney, new york. midwin charles, defense attorney out of new york. and daniel horowitz famed defense attorney joining us out of san francisco. sue moss? >> i have no idea. this is crazy. but of course her alleged lover called the cops. on her hit list. he'd be next on top. i mean, this woman is sick. sick, sick, sick. she's going to be convicted because the evidence is irrefutable. there is no entrapment and luckily soon we'll get her out of her mother's house and in jail where she belongs.
10:20 pm
>> to daniel horowitz, the bond was only $35,000, which means she puts up $3,500, her mommy probably did that for her too. what i want to see is the workout video from la fitness. she's apparently a fitness enthusiast. so that's her alibi. i can just see her up there on the elliptical, headphones, hmm, hmm, checking the time, is it safe to go home now, is he dead yet. what's your defense, horowitz? i know you've got one. don't even start up -- don't even tune-up with entrapment. >> you know, nancy, it already puzzles me. why would she need to get the property transferred to her, when if he dies it would go to her by inheritance? so everybody's making a big fuss about that, so i think that's a red herring. >> put him up there so i can see him say that. >> hi there, nancy. i think it's a red herring that they transferred the property -- >> 24 hours after she convinces
10:21 pm
him for tax purposes, and legal purposes, that he -- this 26-year-old realtor, that she believes he should put it all in her name, she goes on a shopping spree for a hit man, you don't see the connection, horowitz? >> i think it's a very keystone kops kind of case. >> keystone kops. >> i think she's got mental problems. >> she's got problems all right. >> she could never have pulled this off. >> okay. midwin charles, i know you've got something better than that. >> well, my issue is with this judge who let her just go home for dinner. >> oh, blame the judge. >> i just think it's ridiculous. i don't know. is he like the husband and this alleged lover where he thinks she's cute? i'm not particularly sure how it is that she can be home tonight having dinner. >> she's not that cute, okay? we'll be right back. we're taking your calls tonight. to tonight's case alert. a detroit father of three gunned down hours before his 30th birthday. tonight, his widow and children need donations for the funeral. tyrone raffert shot to death. saturday night. tonight, his widow and children trying to raise $8,000 for the
10:22 pm
10:25 pm
oh, no. no. >> dippolito was arrested wednesday after police say she hired a hit man to kill her husband of only six months. turns out that hired gun was an undercover cop. boynton pd staged a crime scene as if dippolito's husband had actually been shot dead. when she was given the news, she sobbed in hysterics. we later leashe later learned a police station her husband was still alive. police received a tip about her plan. she had been dealing with an undercover police officer posing as a hit man. >> back to chief matthew immler, chief of the boynton beach police department who shrewdly diverted a murder for hire plot.
10:26 pm
chief, how do you train someone to pretend to be a killer for hire? >> well, actually, the officer that we used has been used in an undercover capacity for quite some time. although he hasn't trained as a killer for hire, he's actually very good at working off the cuff and adapting and getting our game plan through. so he's an expert at it. >> chief, you know, if this goes to trial, you know what you've got to be careful for i'm sure, whenever i would work with undercover cops, they don't want to come in and testify. it completely blows their cover. and the defense will keep them on the stand for days on end to make sure everybody in town sees their picture or their drawing. so he may be no good for you undercover after this. >> well, that happens, and that's something that, you know, we in police work deal with every day. when that happens, the officer goes into a different job, works in a different capacity, and
10:27 pm
there's another officer to take his place. >> yeah. and in a year or two, everybody will forget what he looks like and you can use him again. so dr. hill lan glass, psychologist, body language expert, author of "i know what you're thinking," dr. glass, here's a question especially for you. how do you keep up the charade you're in love with your husband when you're planning a hit? i mean, do you still sleep with him? fix his meals? lay out his socks? >> it's very difficult. i mean, this girl is so out of control. you really see this in her body language where part of her body is stiff, it's not grieving at all. but the other part --
10:30 pm
>> no, no! >> i didn't do anything, and i didn't plot anything. police say she thought she'd gotten away with it. but this afternoon she's on her way to the palm beach county jail after boy ton beach police say 26-year-old dalia dippolito tried to pay a hit man $3,000 to kill her husband. turns out that hit man was an undercover police officer, tipped off by a confidential informant. she says she didn't do it. >> it's 10:50, i should have been dead at like 9:00.
10:31 pm
>> dippolito was working out at the la fitness gym when police called her to return to the home. it was taped off and detectives roaming the property like it was a crime scene. >> no, no! >> here's a woman saying she's 5,000% sure she wants to pay for her husband to be killed. and then at the scene you have a woman who is sobbing uncontrollably because she's just learned her husband is dead. >> no, oh! oh my god! >> just divorce me and take everything. that's the best way, right? i don't understand. >> mrs. dippolito? >> yes? >> oh, no, no! oh, no! no, no!
10:32 pm
>> okay, meryl streep, watch out. here's an oscar-winning performance. all the cops standing by. they've got the yellow crime scene tape up. they claim they saw an assailant running from the home. she's just come from her workout there on the elliptical at la fitness. and the cops are drinking it all in. oh, scratching the ear. yeah, we feel bad for you. >> go with the detective. if you want to help your husband, okay, if you want to help your husband -- >> please, no, no! >> tell us everything you know about who he knows, who he's connected to. >> please, please. >> everything's under control. >> back to chief matthew immler with the boynton beach police department. chief, could you just tell me -- i don't think this is
10:33 pm
revealing anything about your investigation that you want to keep secret right now. when you take her away to console her and get her story, what happens on the way to the police station? >> it's actually during the ride to the police station we tried not to engage her too much. >> right. >> we just wanted her to kind of drink it all in, what had happened. come to the realization that the plot she put in motion had successed. and once we got her to the station, it was very important for us at that time that she reacted to question that's we had planned to ask her. >> exactly. because then you've got witnesses. did you get those reactions on video at the police station? >> oh, we certainly did. >> oh, good guy, chief! you got your bases covered on this one, because if you don't have out video, audio and video, the defense at trial will say, that's not how it happened, we didn't say that, you didn't give us a waiver, we don't understand english. you'll hear the whole kit and caboodle.
10:34 pm
during the whole way to the police station, she thinks her husband's been knocked off. is she crying? what's she doing in the backseat? >> she was somewhat subdued, she was crying and essentially just making the types of noises you would think, you know, how could this happen, that sort of thing. but she was very subdued. >> oh! all those noises? >> pretty much more of the same you saw in the film. >> so you get her to the police station, you take her into a room. does she know she's being videoed? >> no, she does not. >> okay. which is totally constitutional. so when do you break it to her that the bad news that her husband is alive? >> well, we actually didn't break it to her. what we did is when we moved her from the room that she was in back to the cell block, or our booking area, the husband was standing in the detective room, which is kind of a wide open space. and as she exited the room, she could see him standing there, very much alive. >> chief, what did she do? >> she was, to say the least, very surprised.
10:35 pm
>> did she really start crying for real? >> no. she was pretty much at that point at a loss for words and -- >> she was like, ruh-roh. >> that's it. >> chief, when you had her sitting in there, before she realizes her plot failed, her husband survived the hit. what kind of questions were you asking her? did she come up with the whole alibi, what happened that morning, that she -- did she give you her whole story? >> actually, what we had done is we had asked her to retrace her steps and go back. again, without revealing too much of what we already had on tape with her, we wanted to ensure that the -- essentially the intent element of the crime was being met. and we felt that by having her go back and -- essentially retrace her footsteps, that would play to that element. >> we're taking your calls live. out to patti in wisconsin, hi, patti.
10:36 pm
>> caller: hi, nancy. >> how are you, dear, what's your question? >> caller: i'm great, how are you? >> good. >> caller: i love this video. i hardly ever see anything really humorous on your show. but this has got me. >> we don't usually have cause to celebrate when you're in crime and justice. but this really takes the cake. all right? i'm glad that that call from the confidential informant, the secret informant landed in the right place and didn't get lost in some, you know, call waiting message answering service. what's your question, dear? >> caller: my question is, one, a lot of these tapes you see where they catch them in these stings, they all say they found this, you know, friend of a friend. where do these people find all these hit men? this lady says she found him in a cvs parking lot. that's my one question. it's ridiculous. what, hit men hang out in drugstore parking lots? i just don't know. >> are you saying you believe
10:37 pm
she found the hit man in a cvs parking lot? >> caller: they said she met him in a -- >> got it. i think what they mean is they rendezvoused. >> gotcha. >> let me make sure about that. hugh nolan, joining us out of miami. where does the cvs pharmacy fit into this whole thing? >> you're correct. the person who eventually became the confidential informant, learned of the plot friday, went to the police friday. by saturday, they had set this up with this undercover detective posing as a hit man contacted by the confidential informant. of course dalia herself did not have any idea that this was an undercover officer, but this meeting was arranged in those circumstances. >> and you know, this is a phenomena, an unusual phenomena. of course, there are several famous black widows. a few of them are lynn turner who allegedly tried to poison her husband and boyfriend with antifreeze in the jell-o.
10:38 pm
of course you can't ever forget about pam smart, who conspired with a 15-year-old lover to have her husband killed. margaret rudin, she dyed her hair and traveled across the country to avoid police. then we've got stacey castor, poisoned second husband, attempted murder on daughter. there's sheila labarre, murdered two boyfriends. and janet mercereau, shot sleeping husband in the head. it as phenomena. it's very unusual. out to you, lou palumbo. private investigator. you don't see black widows that often. >> fortunately not. they're more of an anomaly in our culture than anything else. but one thing i wanted to speak to very quickly was this release to her mother, this -- this is a little bit of an issue. you know, if i were the judge, i would have had an immediate psychiatric evaluation made of this young lady. it's quite apparent she has a high level of dysfunction and there's a potential suicide here. why he would have allowed her to go to her mother, where it would
10:39 pm
have been much easier for her or still is easy for her to do that, is a little perplexing. i would have put her in protective custody at least. >> you know, lou, i don't see suicide here. i think she's too into herself to commit suicide and she obviously pulled it over on the judge as well. i mean, she needs to be behind bars with one of those metal commodes to share with the other inmates. but she's at home with her mommy who's probably cooking her a nice friday night meal. we're taking your calls. as we take our break, happy birthday to texas friend of the show and victims' rights advocate andy kahn. happy birthday, andy, and keep the faith. are you guilty of being our show's number one fan? plead your case. send us your story as to why that fan is you. we're looking for stand-out stories. if your e-mail or i-report makes air you win an awe graphed copy of my new book, "the eleventh
10:40 pm
10:43 pm
my name is mark mcleod, i'm from -- near augusta, georgia. i'm miley's number one fan. so, yeah, i'm -- i know a lot about miley. >> reporter: what are some facts you can tell me about miley? >> miley has one of the most open minds of anybody i've ever met. she's probably -- she's beyond a genius from all the things that she knows. i know a lot of things, she knows more than i know. thought i knew a lot of things, till i met her and she knows more than i do. and just a really good person. she doesn't act phony like everybody else. she hasn't let stardom get to her head. she's just a regular person just like anybody else. which is rare for someone
10:44 pm
successful, they start thinking they're above everybody or something like that. she's not like that at all. she's still the same as she was before she got famous. i love everybody out there, and i love miley. nobody really knows, but now you know. and now it's on tape. and now everybody knows. but i talk to her a lot, but it's kind of like -- i talk and she responds with pictures. that's the way we communicate. >> reporter: how do you -- >> i'm on her website. i kind of -- you know, e-mail her, and then she puts pictures back up if she likes what he -- what i said. if she doesn't like what i said, all i have to do is look at the picture. if she likes what i said -- that's how we communicate. i talk, she does the visuals. i can watch closely and tell exactly what she's thinking. >> and i can tell what she's thinking, i can even tell what kind of mood she's in by looking at her picture, only i have super human power. okay. tom o'neal, "in touch weekly," help me, please.
10:45 pm
what is a 53-year-old, let me put it i've mist i've puphmystically, a perv, chasing after a 16-year-old girl. >> well, they're engaged to be married and cyrus says we're the one you've been praying for. he was arrested tuesday on attempted stalking charges after he was seen hovering around the set of her movie. being filmed on a set off an island of georgia. in june he was there the first time, and he was -- got -- he crossed over the security boundaries, they confronted him. they got into a screaming match. he had to be hauled away in handcuffs. the first arrest was for disorderly conduct, the latest was for attempted stalking and he's now in custody. >> to scott hudson, investigative report at wgac 580 news radio. scott, it's not really difficult to get on to tybee island. anybody can drive over there. explain to me how his first
10:46 pm
charge, i guess it would have been a criminal trespass onto the set. why wasn't he dealt with as a stalker then? why was he free to continue stalking her? >> well, nancy, at that point the police there did not realize that they were dealing with a stalker. they thought they were dealing with somebody who was just really being disorderly. it wasn't until after they let him free, due to jail overcrowding in that area, that they learned from l.a. authorities and then saw that videotape from new york that they realized they had a problem. >> and, scott, this video from new york, caught by the "new york daily news," what was he doing there? waiting in line for what? >> it was a book signing, and that -- according to the videotape, that was his first actual face-to-face encounter with ms. cyrus. >> got it. susan moss, midwin charles, daniel horowitz.
10:47 pm
the kicker is, we may be laughing -- being amused at, you know, a nearly 54-year-old guy chasing after a 16-year-old girl, but here's the problem. when he does meet her one-on-one alone somewhere and she rejects him, then it turns ugly. then she's really in danger. >> right. i mean, the whole idea of a book signing, you know, sometimes you'll have security at book signings. >> don't blame the book signing, okay? >> well, i'm not. actually, nancy, since you said he's her number one fan and he was on the air, does he get a free book? but putting that aside, there's a real mental health issue here. and treating him with a criminal system i don't think addresses the issue. he needs help. he needs institutional help. he needs to be put away. >> okay, thanks. >> then he's not a danger. >> sue moss, i think he needs jail time. i think he needs a padded cell with a strait jacket that wraps his arms around himself, instead of around miley cyrus, a little girl. >> amen.

grocery stores without all sorts of i.d. how does he get onto a closed set? i wouldn't know how to go about doing that. >> he didn't quite get on the set. they kept intercepting him while he was on the edges trying to break through. >> what about it? skod hudson, what happened at tybee island? >> as far as we know, he began acting disruptive. he was making inappropriate comments to other young females there. the police saw that, when they tried to intercept him, he ended up getting loud and ended up head butting a police officer as far as we know. >> there it would have been an assault on an officer, that requires at least one overnight behind bars. everybody, quick break. but now, "cnn heroes." >> this is "cnn heroes." >> music has always been with me. i love it play it. i keep drumsticks in my hand. the legacy of music in new orleans was dying fast. life after katrina was hard.
