1. True Crime Podcast 2026 - Police Interrogations, 911 Calls and True Police Stories Podcast centers on Cassandra Lee Dior’s interrogation about a violent family attack. 2. The interviewers question Cassandra Lee Dior, and she identifies Johnny as the person who planned the trip to Beech Ridge Park and the house entry. 3. The episode asks how Cassandra and Johnny moved from family conflict to a coordinated nighttime intrusion with a tire iron, duct tape, and knives. 4. Cassandra says she lived with her grandparents for over a year and had been at their house before moving to Duluth with her parents in 2011. 5. She says her stepdad came onto the school campus looking for her at Duluth in 2015, which helped push her into K-12 International online schooling. 6. Cassandra describes her grandmother kicking her out after curfew and says she left to stay with Johnny in his car for two or three days. 7. At Beech Ridge Park, Johnny asks, “are you afraid to die?”, and the two discuss running away, warrants, and whether she would kill her grandparents. 8. Cassandra says they planned to go around midnight or 1:30 because her grandmother usually went to sleep around 11:30 or 12. 9. She explains that she had a set of keys, knew the back route through the park and fence, and had previously removed the battery from the old alarm sensor on the back door. 10. Cassandra says she carried a blue tire iron while Johnny carried no weapon at her grandparents’ house and used only his fists. 11. She says Johnny went into her grandfather’s room while she went into her grandmother’s room, and she struck her grandmother after hearing the fighting. 12. Cassandra describes her grandmother biting her finger on her right hand and says her grandmother had bitten her before during fights. 13. She says she used duct tape on her grandmother’s hands, head, and ankles, and Johnny helped when her grandmother kept moving. 14. Cassandra says Johnny asked her to get three big butcher knives from the kitchen and then told her to bring her grandmother into the bathroom. 15. She says her grandmother gave the code to a closet safe, where they found envelopes of cash and about $1,000. 16. Cassandra says Johnny later hit her grandmother in the back with the tire iron and told her that one good strike there could knock someone out. 17. The interrogation also covers a later plan involving Johnny’s family, a baseball bat, a bottle of milk, and a gray SUV taken from his sister. 18. Cassandra’s tone stays halting and defensive, while the officers press her with short follow-up questions and insist on sequence, weapons, and who was present. 19. Listeners interested in true-crime interrogations, family violence cases, and detailed timelines would likely stay with this episode. 20. Listeners looking for light banter, quick comedy, or a clean ending probably would skip it.
