Just put some updated info on website. You have a relationship with him, dont you? No one could trace it to anyone involved in the embezzlement case. A preponderance of evidence shows that he did this terrible crime. Most had known Nancy's parents, Bill and Sue Dillard, for years. I doubt very much, that she ate the wood), and either way, it doesnt explain the vitamins filled with poison, or the empty capsules matching those vitamins in Richards apartment, or the fact that Nancy thought he was trying to poison her, or the strange powder she found floating in a drink HE gave her. Dont drop the soap Richie!! His Premeditation And Motives Were To Be The Grieving Cheating Husband & Father Who Thought Hed Remain In Good Graces With The Dillards & The Socialites Of Dallas. During sentencing, Judge John C. Creuzot said that Lyon used various and sundry chemicals to kill Nancy. But Im not as pessimistic as you that theyre composed of such fools What would you have instead? She loved him unconditionally and he latched onto her for his own gain. And suppose HE IS innocent, why should you call him arrogant, and why would he admit to something he did not do? Colt Ledger said in response to Couchs departure that he was not surprised by Couchs much anticipated departure. The architect thought he had all the angles covered. Who had a stronger motive than him? They constructed a dollhouse shingle by shingle for their daughter Allison. After being treated as Royalty by Texas Securities top enforcement dog, Joe Rotunda and the lose way in which the law suit was handled by the SEC, the only thing that might come as a surprise is that Joe (Rotunda) and Jay (Oman, Deputy Director of Enforcement) did not give Couch a ride to the airport., One of our clients, I understand, made repeated request to both agencies to seize or freeze Couchs assets, to stop the selloff of investors assets and take measures to prevent his leaving the country. Based on his trial. Why would she put arsenic poison in her own vitamin pills and then take them? My mom, my dad, my stepfather, all my grandparents, my exs mother, my friends siblings. She married Richard Lyon who was also in real estate development but was not nearly as successful as Nancy Lyon. Not all cases are such. Lyons claims that his absence from the home on the day his wife became seriously ill is his alibi, when in fact he might have added poison to any one of numerous substances in the house that his wife could have ingested. If no one else touched it, they wouldnt have been exposed and it explains the high dosage on her fingertips. Richard deserves to be paroled and returned to CT to his family, or what is left of it. Then, theres the empty capsules found at Richards, and especially the bogus so-called-receipt, that Nancy supposedly signed, for a number of poisons, that Richard found. Thank you. To answer one of your questions, the bottle of pills was found eight months later! You certainly didnt pay close attention to the episode. Nancy's father, William "Big Daddy" Dillard, died in 2006 after a 59-year marriage to Sue Stubbs Dillard that produced four children. Here in UK judges routinely remind juries of this at the ouset; perhaps US judges do too. That Richard should rot in jail when he dies, should rot in hell. Thats what I came here to find out after watching this episode. She also shut him off from their joint bank accounts. This scenario was found less likely than that she was poisoned which is reasonable and with which I agree. Prosecutor passed away May 2020: For those who are curious, Anna and Allison are both well. I bet you that Friends of Richard Lyon are either one or both of his daughters, or someone hes dating or doing a sweetheart hustle on from jail (a common hustle where inmates answer singles ads and con women into sending them money). No problem. There, he met Nancy Dillard, whose parents were wealthy and influential enough for her fathers nickname to be Big Daddy. But a Texas court rejected his blame-the-victim strategy, which included a contention that Nancy had brought about her own slow demise by intentionally consuming arsenic and barium carbonate over a long period of time. Feel free to point out any specific thing you believe isnt fact. If I understand you correctly, youre wondering how I got your name. The amount of evidence is HUGE! Julie, Wedding planning began soon after commencement, and Nancy became Mrs. Richard Lyon in February 1982. I knew you werent claiming the hos was responsible for the poisoning (though Lili may be); rather that they were negligent. Owls HAVE attacked, and just because its bizarre, combined with a past that made him look guilty, doesnt mean it didnt happen. Agreed. It will eventually all come out. Articles copied from Draft Namespace on Wikipedia could be seen on the Draft Namespace of Wikipedia and not main one. Nancy and Richard continued to enjoy working together, Gayle Golden recounted: On their own they transformed the once-scrawny back yard into a little paradise, planting trees and wisteria, driving bricks into sand to make a patio, hanging chimes and a hammock.. Talk about clutching at straws! The grieving husband also showed authorities an anonymous letter Nancy had received; it threatened violence if she went ahead and testified against a former colleague named David Bagwell who allegedly embezzled $720,000 from Trammell Crow. Christopher Ochoa, Richard Danziger, and Cameron Todd Willingham (although possibly guilty of spousal abuse) come to mind. Richard Lyon pleaded not guilty at his 1991 murder trial. Richard never denied the affair and has done his penance for it. I believe they definitely got it right in this case, but how many times have you heard people say, Where theres smoke, theres fire. Battaglia had never harmed or threatened the girls. Juries have been wrong. 3) Is or has been, in a romantic/emotionally intimate relationship with Richard Lymon? But Allison and Anna are adults now. I no longer wondered if he had killed her. Gray alluded to. My belief is that she committed suicide and framed her husband so he wouldnt be able to get custody of their children. Meanwhile, a laboratory found lethal amounts of arsenic in Nancys hair, liver, and kidneys. I was a patient at Dallas Presbyterian who was poisoned with arsenic. She didnt appreciate his using $5,900 of their money to buy a ring for Gaisford. Theres always SOME person that stands by the killer, especially one that cleans up nice. Actually, Samadhi was pretty disparaging of my post something you dont, equally, object to, plainly because Im not arguing in your favour (though the argument I offer, whether comprehended or not, is certainly not controversial, being widely accepted in discussion of evidence, theory of knowledge etc). That makes no sense. Anyone who says outright that someone is innocent, who wasnt with that person every second (basically, a conjoined twin), is a fool. As FF presents it, theres little doubt Lyons guilty. We may be all sinners but not all of us commits murder. Anyone who has ever spent hours and nights heaving over a toilet with wretched upheavels and cramping knows that no one would choose this method of suicide.. I wondered, instead, what twisted passion had carried him through the months of premeditation, through the hours of her retching at home, through the days of her decline and death. Either way, I dont think hes a threat to anyone anymore. After seeing the evidence, youd have to be an idiot to believe Richard, if youre thinking in your right mind. He produced diary entries detailing childhood sexual abuse Nancys brother had allegedly perpetrated against her. I worry about Lyon getting out. Unfortunately, the cops just made a joke out of the owl theory (I guess they havent learned that implausible DOES happen), but give me one other explanation for owl feathers and her own hair being found in her hand????? Ridiculous. Amazing that Richard nor the cleaning company did not find them. Who cares if he/she is innocent? He will never say he is guilty because he is not. Facing reality. Nancy's closest family was not as respectable as they seemed. IF Nancy told the doctor she thought her husband was poisoning her, then why didnt he call the police and test her for it? I sure wouldnt want the friend representing me. See https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Rogue-cop-gets-20-years-in-killing-2064331.php But if junks put it, you get junk out One FF ep showed that junk science and prosecutorial failure to disclose exculpatory evidence caused wrongful conviction. Exactly. Note: It may well serve anyone positively to refuse to eat or drink anything offered or prepared by a soon-to-be-ex. Aware that the No. I was a 15 year old working in the lawn and garden section of a Target-like store in the midwest and I was starving halfway into my shift. You are very blind. His GF/friend is just pointing to anything/everything else to use as a smokescreen. Do not listen to others who have ulterior motives or derogatory speech. The justice system in the USA is broken. Cmon, FRL, you sound like a character from Pilgrims Progress who has taken up residence in the Land of Denial. Cause thats not what he told me. They married in 1982 and moved into a duplex in University Park, an affluent section of Dallas. The girls were raised by the Dillard family and changed their surnames to Dillard. Even a cursory reading of his support materials makes it obvious why none of the innocence projects will take his case. Juries lean towards conviction, they do not assume innocence as they are supposed to. Evidence was circumstantial. We know that juries get it wrong perhaps theres a figure for what proportion of convictions have subsequently been proved unfounded but because of the high threshold of certitude to convict, more are likely wrong in acquitting than convicting (which is as it should be). Excellent! exactly how are you saying that the hospital gave Nancy Lyons arsenic? No evidence? . And lets not forget that, among even more evidence (like Richard previously emptying their bank accounts, and not knowing Nancy changed the beneficiary on her life insurance), theres the long vacation he took with his mistress less than 5 weeks after Nancy died. Not a waste of time. Sweet deal? That was my thought when her brother, who molested her so bad she needed surgical repair, filed for custody of her GIRLS before Nancy was barely cold in her grave! They even put a picture of an owl on an FBIs most wanted poster. Guess the daughters, Anna and Allison really do wish to be left alone: neither one appears to support FORL/Cathy in their fathers conspiracy-steeped innocence. Neither does the Innocence Project. Tami Ayn Gaisford, Richards girlfriend, testified that Richard had told her that Nancy died from a rare fatal blood disease more proof that he was a liar. His next chance will come in 2021, when hes 64. I hope he rots slowly where he is. When sufficient circumstantial evidence aggregates, each aspect of which IN ISOLATION can be explained away or attract doubt, a threshold is reached which cannot be ignored or explained away in its entirety. Watch the Forensic Files episode on YouTube. Plus, the fact that the case is largely circumstantial, doesnt matter. Things then got worse when she found out that her husband Richard was having an affair in the fall of 1989. He became eligible for parole 15 years later in 2006. No winners in this case. Thanks. Richard first sprang into action by sprinkling a powdered poison into a soda he bought for Nancy at the movies. He thought Nancy was a money making machine!!!! All of us are sinners and fall short of the glory of our Heavenly Father and his dear son Jesus Christ. Does that make sense to ANYONE?!? He gave death so he deserved the same, but being locked up is still good so he knows he cannot and will not get to enjoy life in Libertyah ah ah joke on him! The truth will eventually come out. This is not the case with Richard Lyon. Nancy's brother became convinced her adulterous husband, Richard, was responsible. Nancy was so cute and innocent I wish she was my wife. This is such a tragic case for all involved. Seems like nothing much has changed in Dallas since November 1963. In 1991 Nancy Dillard Lyon, daughter of a powerful Dallas real estate tycoon, was murdered, poisoned with arsenic. If wood was the cause why wasnt Richard found with any arsenic in his body? Given the terrible death he inflicted on their mother, Id be surprised (but certainly wouldnt judge them; when theyve lost one, the other, however poor, may be better than none). If she were framing the husband, she could have done it rather quicker and hence less painfully. Lies, thievery, and in this case cold blooded murder. There WERE owl feathers and her own hair found in her hands; what POSSIBLE explanation is there for that, other than an owl attack? "Nancy and Richard Lyon were a wealthy Dallas couple who had everything but lost it all. She loved him unconditionally and he latched onto her for his own gain. No fingerprints. Oh wait, no, that was BEFORE she went to the hospital. Smells of a set up. Especially their murderer of a father who killed their mother Im sure. I would have cooked, cleaned, take care of my life. As Richard had hoped, Bill Dillard . I watched Richard cry as the letter was read. I think William Dillard Jr. has a lot to do with it. Youre crazy (or stupid) if you believe that. It no longer exists. She was about to testify against her former boss in a trial for an Embezzlement charge but was poisoned before she could do so. Required fields are marked *. Nancys father was none-too-pleased that his son-in-law made the decision to terminate her life support without consulting him or his wife. This comment on behalf of this scum is as sick as the scum himself. One was her psychiatrist/psychologist. How ridiculous! Nancy Dillard Lyon, daughter of a Dallas real estate tycoon, reached the heartrending conclusion that her marriage to husband Richard, whom she met when they were both grad students at Harvard, was over. At least, they assume, a convicted person has appeals. She told the doctor (her psychiatrist/psychologist) that she believed Richard was systematically poisoning her thats directly from the victim! Nancys death was a tragic accident. Doubt they believe he is innocent since they took their moms surname Dillard. Forensic Files, in my opinion, got it right. He just took the biblical story of Adam & Eve (which pretty much everyone born in Noth America knows), and applied current forensics and common sense to it. You dont accidentally fill capsules with poison (and the empty capsules were in his apartment), and you dont accidentally take a severe poison over a long period of time. If the hospital did, I believe they are legally required to notify the police: they cannot avoid this if they may be the origin of the poisoning. And the anonymous threatening letter on behalf of her former coworker was a big nothing. Besides, you should NEVER believe something because someone else may believe it. Also, people, please stop posting about the Allison and Anna. Marcus I hope I would do the same where I perceived a gross miscarriage of justice I hope you would have someone fight for you or your child if there was a gross miscarriage of justice. Imagine if you were an innocent man who has spent 27 years in prison. My state is only slightly better. That couldnt had been easy for them. Firstly, it is difficult to take responsibility for an action that you did not do. Ive heard it all now. Someone needs to do some real investigative reporting. Surely the only role of the hospital would be to certify that you had been poisoned? This narrative has been spewed for decades and portrayed in film in addition to being plastered all over the Internet.. At the trial, internist Dr. Ali Bagheri noted that Richard was smiling, joking, and laughing with hospital staff members during his wifes emergency room visit. I know I need to be nice! He should NOT be paroled. Im sure we all wish them well and are sorry for their loss. There is a paper trail showing Richard as the person who ordered the poisons. TX is not known for its stellar justice system. Without going further, there are questions regarding both of those pieces to include the actions of the DA. I was wondering how they were doing! The truth is, there is just far too much that cant be explained away. Nothing sweet about that deal. Then she got hopeful. Sometimes, the fact that they have been murdered at all isnt even proven, but the defendant is a very arrogant and unlikable man, and thats enough. But I notice that you didnt point out anything specific that was actually incorrect, although you insinuated that the entire comment was fiction. To actually expect people to buy that is insanity. Funny how people can put all their energy and concern into the guilty and never show any real concern for the true victims. Very nice life lessons, as pertains to homicide. Inconclusive. Couldnt wait to get his hands on two more little girls, better yet THESE girls came with a hefty inheritance from their mother, who he victimized repeatedly as a child! Cmon, FRL. Ive had some people drop me hints/clues. Go to hell, and while on the way there ask him to mix up a drink for you. His evil can suffocate him, for all i know, it would be only minus one scum to live on societys tax payers income as he deserved death.
