More than eleven years ago, twenty-four-year-old D’Lisa Michelle Kelley left her grandmother’s home in Dallas, Texas, to attend her best friend’s wake. She never arrived.

A short time later, her sister unexpectedly received a phone call from D’Lisa’s cellphone. For just over seventy-one seconds, she listened helplessly as what sounded like a violent assault unfolded in real time. Minutes later, D’Lisa’s family called 911, convinced she was in immediate danger.

One week later, D’Lisa was found murdered on the front porch of an abandoned house.

In this episode, I reconstruct D’Lisa’s final known movements using police records, 911 audio, dispatch recordings, court documents, and investigative files. We examine the unanswered questions surrounding the mysterious seventy-one-second recording, the reported Stop & Save surveillance footage, the blue Mercury Grand Marquis, the delayed police response, and how this tragic case ultimately led to the creation of Texas’s CLEAR Alert system.

More than a decade later, D’Lisa’s murder remains unsolved.

If you have information regarding the murder of D’Lisa Michelle Kelley, contact the Dallas Police Department Homicide Unit or North Texas Crime Stoppers. Even the smallest detail could help provide the answers her family has been waiting for.
