In a harrowing tale that has gripped the nation, the brutal murder of 24-year-old Delisa Kelly remains unsolved nearly a decade after her life was cut tragically short. On March 7, 2014, the expectant mother left her Dallas home to attend a friend’s funeral, but her journey would end in unimaginable horror. Hours later, a chilling pocket dial from Delisa’s phone revealed her frantic screams for help, echoing a desperate plea that would haunt her family forever.
The call, made around 6:45 PM, captured Delisa’s terrified voice pleading for mercy, interrupted by a man’s threats. Her sister’s frantic attempts to reach her went unanswered, leading the family to call 911. Despite the urgent nature of their plea—an alarming scream for help followed by silence—the police response was tragically inadequate. Dismissed by authorities, it would be a staggering 48 hours before any serious investigation into Delisa’s disappearance commenced.
Days later, her badly beaten body was discovered on the porch of an abandoned home. The evidence of a savage assault painted a grim picture—bruises, cuts, and signs of a desperate struggle. Yet, as the years pass, the search for her 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er grows colder, with no leads or suspects identified.
Delisa’s family has fought tirelessly for justice, advocating for legislative changes that would compel law enforcement to take such cases seriously from the outset. However, as of now, the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er remains at large, and the haunting question of “Who 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed Delisa Kelly?” lingers unanswered. This tragic story serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for justice and accountability in the face of violence against women.
