Woman Allegedly Admits Murder During Idle Chat

An idle, dormitory bull session apparently led to the arrest of a Naval Academy midshipman and her boyfriend, an Air Force Academy cadet, in the December slaying of a 16-year-old girl.

According to unidentified Navy sources cited Friday in The Baltimore Sun, two first-year female midshipmen apparently were relaxing off-duty, when the conversation turned to the question: “What’s the worst thing you have ever done in your life?” The answer of plebe Diane Zamora, 18, was simply murder.

Zamora’s roommate told academy officials and police interviewed the midshipman at the academy in Annapolis, Md., last week, the Sun said.

Zamora was arrested Friday at her Fort Worth home and charged with the murder of Adrianne Jones, who was found shot to death Dec. 4 on a farm road in Grand Prairie.

Police said her cadet boyfriend, 18-year-old David Graham, awaiting extradition in Colorado, gave a written statement earlier this week that he had killed his ex-girlfriend with the help of his current girlfriend, Zamora.

A 17-year-old boy, described as a high school dropout, spent nearly a month in jail charged with the murder before the charges were dropped last January.
