Three Hairs

Former Florida Assistant State Attorney and Jacksonville law enforcement detail a typical welfare check that led to the discovery of signs of struggle and a body hidden under a pile of blankets in an upstairs bedroom.

Jacksonville Sheriff's office recount their interview with Jonathan Brewer a co-worker of Dina. His appearance at the crime scene and knowledge made investigators suspicious of his potential involvement.

Amy Stark, Dina's friend and coworker describes the phone call she had with Dina about a burglary that occurred weeks prior to her murder.

Jacksonville detectives concluded the ligature marks on Dina's neck from a phone cord causing her death. Several other marks on her body were postmortem indicating a greater chance of sexual assault and the assailant knew Dina.

Detectives make a connection to the MO of Dina Kichler's attacker and abuse he experienced from his alcoholic father during childhood. Dina and another female victim's hair was cut in the bathtub.

Dina Kichler was brutally killed in December of 1990; a shockingly similar case in New Hampshire three years earlier would ultimately help bring her killer to justice.

Despite several years and hundreds of miles separating the murders of Michele LaFond and Dina Kichler, a combination of thorough police work and lucky coincidences ultimately helped nab their killer.
