Crazy In Love: How An All-American Teenage Romance Spiraled Into Murder
High School sweethearts David Graham and Diane Zamora seemed to have everything going for them. Both were high achievers who had already planned a future together until fate intervened
Background
At first glance, it didn’t look like much: just another empty patch of dirt and grass lined by barbed wire and elm trees.
But residents of sleepy, suburban Mansfield, Texas, know better. This is where Adrianne Jones, once the queen bee of Mansfield High School, met her untimely end.
There used to be a memorial here.
Jeff Lackey, a close friend of Jones’s, skipped class after hearing of her death to plant a simple cross made of sticks and red wire on the site. But it was quickly confiscated by police, who thought that it may have been placed by Jones’s killer instead.
Still, Lackey, along with his friend Jessica Ramon and Jones’s mother Linda, continued to scour the site in the days and months following the December 1995 murder, hoping to turn up some clue that the police had missed: the diamond stud earring that was missing from Jones’s ear when her body was found, or her favorite gold necklace.
