Yeah, she's cuz she was just decapitated. She's got She's got stab wounds to her back. Her head's in the bathtub. I mean, it's a >> Why did you put her head in the bathtub? >> I didn't hold her. >> Why was her hair wet? Did you turn the shower on? >> Yes. >> On January 11th, 2023 in Waller County, Texas, deputies arrive at a property after a disturbing discovery inside a small home. What they find quickly turns the scene into a major homicide investigation. While the man already in custody is about to give investigators a story that raises even more questions. >> Oh, Constable, thanks for coming. Who you got detained? >> It's a murder scene. >> Sure. >> It's a murder scene. >> Oh, no. Yeah. Okay. Mhm. >> Yeah. Keep it discreet. >> Yeah, she's cuz she was just brutally decapitated. She's got stab wounds to her back. Her head's in the bathtub. I mean, it's a >> It's a redhead? >> It's a No, she's dark Hispanic. >> no. The one that The one you got in The one you got detained, the red-headed boy? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> All right, thank you, sir. Give away. All right. So, where's the body? In there? >> Yeah, if you just step up on the third ladder up there, you step in the you can stick your head in and see. Can't get any further than that. >> Up here? >> Yeah. >> Blake said her head is somewhere else, in the tub? Okay. Okay. >> You got to wait for CID to get here. >> Okay. Uh Stay Stay right here, Earl. Nobody goes in there. Unless I we need to get up people ID. >> And then whenever CID and sergeant get out here, make sure you give them like write their names and a timestamp when they come in and out of that place. Use your notepad, okay? >> Okay. Uh anybody anybody goes in who they are and what time they come out, who they are and what time. >> Okay. Appreciate it. >> At this point, officers are realizing this is far beyond a normal emergency call. The scene has to be locked down, everyone accounted for, and every person who entered that home becomes important. But while investigators are trying to understand what happened, they already have someone detained who may know exactly how this started. >> Hello. He's here. He's here. Okay. So it's my uh understanding you were just in the hospital. Is that right? >> Yes, and after that I started to feel weird. >> What were you in the hospital for? >> Um stomach pain. >> Okay. What What hospital did you go to? >> Norman Hospital. >> Okay. Meth Is that what you use? Okay. Um Is that okay? Do you use a lot or do you just dabble or Okay. >> Sorry. Just this. >> Until recently? Um When was the last time that you used that? >> Oh, I did it I did it um Like two weeks ago. Like two weeks. >> You've been up for two weeks? >> Mhm. >> Okay. And then then when you were just went to the hospital like 2 days ago, you said it was for the substance. >> Mhm. And after that is when this >> Have you used again since then? Okay. Or something different. Okay. When you dropped out of the that you remember? You don't remember when it was? Okay. Okay. Um So that is your mom and dad's house where you live, correct? And what's your wife's name? You don't have any children? Okay. Do you want to tell me what happened? >> When officers begin speaking with Jared, the conversation quickly turns toward his recent behavior and possible drug use. He claims he had been awake for days and describes feeling like something was controlling him. In my opinion, that's where investigators have to separate an explanation from an excuse, and that's about to become much harder. >> Jared, this is on you to decide how this goes. It's not a question. I've already told you that. It's not a question that you did it and the manner in which you did it. The Walmart is the one. What happened? You said it was your your own Okay. But that didn't That doesn't tell us what happened in that room. >> I just I just lost control. I don't know what was going on. >> We're not here to judge you. We just need you to tell us what happened. Drugs do make people do crazy things. And I know it's the first and it won't be the last, unfortunately. And you're not in your right mind and you're not the same person that you are when you're on drugs versus when you're not on drugs. Changes you. >> I'm so sorry. I'm really I'm really sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really I'm really >> Help us understand. Tell us why you're sorry. Tell us what occurred for this tragic ending to happen. What happened? What What was going on? >> This drug made me that silly drug. >> Well, I understand that. So, you did it and tell us what happened after you took it. >> Drugs just make you go crazy. It makes you really sad. It makes you not be able to see straight. >> All right. So, what did it make you do this morning? Last night? What would you tell her if she was sitting right next to you now? >> I'm sorry. >> If she's just looking right at you, you're just going to say I'm sorry? You're not going to give an explanation as to why? You're looking at her in the eye and you can't tell her why you did this? >> As detectives keep pressing for a timeline, Jared repeatedly says he lost control and wasn't acting on his own. He describes strange things he says he was seeing and hearing before eventually admitting what he did, but investigators aren't satisfied with a vague explanation. They want to know what happened inside that room step-by-step. >> I don't know. It's something Something told me. >> Okay. So, it did So, it made you do what? >> Something I don't >> What did it make you do? >> From the screen. It It was I don't know what it Okay. It was like a dream. >> What did it tell you to do? Like stop time. You have to do something. And then time will stop. It was being forced. Like not of my free will. >> Okay, forced to do what? >> Forced to just walk. Forced to go. >> Okay. What did it What did it force you to do to her? What did it force you to do to you? What did it force you to do? To what? To pick you up? Why? What did it tell you to do to her? >> Okay. >> Okay. What did you do? >> What you saw. >> What did I see? Tell me what I saw. I'm asking you. >> Mhm. Told me to cut her head off. That's what it told me to >> It made you cut her head off? And what did you use to do that with? Where did you get the knife from? >> It was put in my by her. >> By her? >> Mhm. >> Was the knife something that was already in her house? >> Yes. We were just talking normally and then she turned on the like she didn't eat. That's why I stopped. >> Okay, please don't do it like you just go it through it and then just tell me exactly of what happened as soon as you got home. You know you can recall it. You're telling us but in pieces. >> I got what five? Just tell the screen. When she turned on the screen it actually didn't happen. It was like couldn't be controlled. But it it's just like she was she was telling me to She's telling me to stop. And then the TV the TV when I saw the the numbers it just made me follow. >> Now, Jared starts explaining what happened inside that room. According to his account, the confrontation turned violent and Angy was multiple times before he used the kitchen knife to Investigators would later find her body near the bed and what appeared to be her in the shower matching the disturbing details he was giving them. >> And was she still on the floor? She's on the floor. >> So, tell us what happened. You say after you all you you did what else? How did she get on the floor? >> How did the fight start? How did the knife get introduced? Walk us through that. >> We got into a fight. She grabbed the knife. >> Did you cut her head off while she was still alive? >> Yes. There were other stab wounds on her body. Did you do that after you cut her head off? Or before? >> Before. >> All Before or afterwards, you said? >> After. It was all before. >> Before. >> Did she injure you at all? Did she cut you with the knife when she had it? If you don't know that, just tell me what the pictures and stuff were. Why did you put her head in the bathtub? >> Didn't tell me. >> Why was your hair wet? Did you turn the shower on? >> Yes. >> To wash yourself or to wash your hair or what? >> To wash. >> By now, detectives have heard enough to begin comparing his account with what they found inside the home. Jared expresses remorse, but the questions keep coming because an apology doesn't explain how everything reached this point. What remains is turning his statements, the physical evidence, and the crime scene into one complete picture. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back, sir. You give me their call and I'll give you my number. I'm going to have to walk you over there. We'll do the blood and urine here in a jail. Turn around. What you need to do? I'm going to grab my things and head downstairs. >> Jared James Dykes, 21, was charged with He later pleaded guilty to first-degree and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
