Bernville, PA – Initially thought to be a murder-suicide, Duceliz Diaz, 22, and her daughter, 5-year-old Kayla, were found hanging in the second-floor apartment where they lived in Bernville on Jan 15th. Now, a month after their bodies were discovered, investigators are now claiming this as a double homicide. Family members became worried when Diaz’s sister received an e-mail from her sister less than two hours before the bodies were found. The message said Diaz was going to do something that would forever change the family, expressed love for family members and said Diaz would be watching over them. Relatives immediately went to the apartment, and kicked open the door.


The family of Duceliz had disputed the murder-suicide claim for the beginning, stating that she was incapable of harming her daughter. They stated that she had not been depressed, even though she had just went through a breakup with her boyfriend. The ruling was determined after the completion of a series of elaborate tests, including reenactments of the hangings using life-like dummies.

Also, interesting to sidenote about this family…Duceliz Diaz’s brother killed his ex-girlfriend, another woman and two children in 2001 by pushing their car into the path of a train. Thanks for the story, Ells.

    That picture just screams love to me, as corny as it sounds. Why can’t the moms who don’t love their children like Celi be the ones who get murdered.

    I got that same feeling when I looked at that pic. I have a zillion of the same type of pic of me and my daughter. Its just a goofing off having fun pic.

    I’m glad her family didn’t give up. It’s jut so sad.

    Wow, this is very interesting. I am wondering if there is any more information on this case yet? And I agree with Kathy; thank goodness she had a diligent family.
    They were a beautiful mother and daughter.

    Unbelievable.

    The amount of restraint some of those officers transporting him must have not to get him alone in a room for 5 minutes is something else. I couldn’t do it.

    His intake accident report would read – suicide via asphyxiation with bed sheet. Case closed.
    One less monster roaming the country side.

    I definitely could not be a police officer. There would be far too many arrestees that never made it as far as the jail.

    I know EXACTLY what you mean. If I were a cop, for cases like this one and Rowan, Alijah, Riley, etc. our “accidental death of inmates” would drastically increase.

    Perez initially told police he had not seen or talked to Duceliz for two months before their deaths. But they found semen in her panties and body, which they linked through DNA to Perez. Troopers said Perez took a Sony Playstation from the apartment after the murders. They said the video game had been a source of conflict between the couple.

    Note to self: Next time I kill a girlfriend and her daughter, make sure to use a condom when boinking the corpse. I guess we know who ultimately won the Playstation argument…

    Hi, Dex.. next time you want to talk about “boinking a corpse” you may want to make sure that corpse that was boinked wasn’t someone’s family you fucking cunt. That was my sister and niece. Now, keep talking like as though your words won’t reach someone who knew the person. You might want to think before you speak/type. Show some fucking respect, man. I grew up with that fucking corpse. Do you know what it’s like to come on here and read your stupid ass comments towards a sister I will NEVER get to see again in my fucking life? Are you retarded or can I trust that you comprehend this concept? Her family has read this, we don’t appreciate it. So, when your sister dies at the hand of a man who lived 2 years in your fucking house and called you his sister I will be the first talking about who won the argument and who fucking boinked who. Yeah, your an ass. Thank you, thank you so much for making my family feel worse than they already do. And to everyone else, thank you for your comments… Much appreciated at this time.

    miodoll, my sympathies to your family. that was a beautiful little girl and the picture speaks volumes of the love mom and daughter had.

    Miodoll, we do tend to be pretty rude and crude here on the Demon, but usually it’s the perpetrators who are on the receiving end, not the victims. I can’t speak for Dex–I don’t know that poster–but your sister deserves no scorn. I extend my condolences to your family. I hope you are able to find some small bit of comfort in knowing that Albert is behind bars tonight.

    Dex- Perfect opportunity to be a wise-ass, you fuckwit.

    seriously, put the internet down and for once have some fucken compassion.

    Miodoll, my prayers go out to you and your family at this time.

    as for Dex, I don’t think he was trying to insult the victim here, I think he was incinuating that the perp in this case was too fucking dumb because his obvious lies and the evidence didn’t match up (thankfully); which is how I took Dex’s post. I hope this man rots in prison for the rest of his life as someone elses bitch without the KY benefit.

    Well said, Fate. Have we met? May I extend my appreciation?

    I have been a member here since the “Rowan” blog. I don’t post much but I do lurk here like a mofo. Anyway, I am so sorry for what you must be going through right now Miodoll. I do hope you continue to post here. That is what I love about this site. Many times, family members join and give great insight. Sending hugs to you..

    Miodoll,

    Sorry for your loss. I blogged this story because of the picture alone. As a parent myself, these particular cases get to me a bit more than others. I cannot imagine what happened that day, and for the first time in a long time in regards to these stories we blog her everyday, I am not sure I ever do. But I am glad they caught the prick who did it, and I hope he ends up getting what he deserves. I know that wont give you guys any closure, but at least that particular chapter of this ordeal can end.

    Again, my condolences to you and the rest of your family.

    I agree the picture does speak volumes and is extremely heartbreaking!

    Miodoll, my condolences for your loss, tragedy on this level is life altering. We had a similar situation in our family in the mid 80’s, we still hurt, but time does heal.
