Dallas police finish audit of 450 homicides for deleted evidence; won’t release review yet

A department spokesman told The Dallas Morning News to file an open records request for the audit and said it’ll be shared with the Dallas County district...

www.dallasnews.com

Dallas police have completed their audit into about 450 homicide cases to look for missing or deleted evidence, but won’t release the findings yet.

[...]

Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot has said he asked Dallas police in February to review all homicide cases filed with his office, prioritizing those with upcoming trials, after it was revealed in court that evidence was missing or deleted in the high-profile murder case against Nina Marano and after The News brought to light other police storage problems.

The trial for Marano, one of three defendants in the killing of Seattle woman Marisela Botello Valadez in Dallas in 2020, was one of the first major signs of DPD’s issues with evidence preservation. The trial has been delayed repeatedly after the lead Dallas detective failed to give lawyers hundreds of videos in the case.

[...]

Police officials have repeatedly insisted that much of the deleted evidence was either insignificant or could be supplemented by other records. But defense attorneys have raised alarms that police are not the arbiter of whether the lost information could have impacted a case’s outcome.

[...]

I am reposting these as there are a few additions to the dockets. I unfortunately can not access the new Dallas court site portal - it keeps throwing me out - so I will have to rely on this FB group to get updates.

The trial for Lisa Dykes, who is one of three people accused of killing Botello, is scheduled to begin on Tuesday. A live stream of the trial is expected to be carried online.

According to an arrest warrant obtained by NBC 5, Dallas police said Botello had flown to Dallas from Seattle to visit a friend. The friend said she left his apartment on Oct. 4 to meet up with friends at a nightclub.

Botello's family said she was last seen leaving a Deep Ellum bar early on Oct. 5, 2020. Her body was found five months later, on March 24, 2021, in a wooded area in Wilmer.

Dykes was indicted in June 2021 by a Dallas County grand jury along with Nina Tamar Marano and Charles Anthony Beltran, who was a person of interest in the case early on.

Jury selection begins in murder trial of 23-year-old a woman who disappeared while visiting Dallas

I click on the "Dallas County District & Court Case & Document Information" - but have a problem with this link.
Can anyone here access it? I heard it should have witnesses listed on file.
Case # is F2175476

TIA if anyone can give me info!
