Episode 94 | When the Lights Went Out in Silsbee: The Murder of Tristan Dilley

A quiet Texas town, a locked house, and a chilling crime that made no sense. When 14-year-old Tristan Dilley was found shot to death in her own home in 2017, the mystery seemed impossible—no sign of forced entry, no obvious suspects, and a timeline that left investigators baffled. But as they dug deeper, hidden truths began to surface, leading to a revelation that no one saw coming. Who had access to Tristan that night? And what could possibly drive someone to commit such a brutal act? Join me as we unravel the details of a case that shook a family, a town, and left lingering questions that demand answers. xoxo,  Margot 💀🌵😘 Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🩷 Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media @DeathXSouthwest for all the behind-the-scenes fun.
