Theresa Dusevitch (Queen of Diamonds, Florida)

Our card this week is Theresa Dusevitch, the Queen of Diamonds from Florida. For 50 years, Theresa Dusevitch’s case was intrinsically tied to Debra Espey’s murder. Both women were 19 years old when they were killed back in 1973, just eight months apart. There were other similarities, too: Both women were found nude from the waist down, their shirts pulled up, hands over their heads, with head wounds as their cause of death. The wooded area where each young woman was found was just three miles apart in and near a town, ironically enough, named Niceville, Florida. But at the end of 2025, Debra Epsey’s case was solved, and her killer turned out to be an acquaintance of hers, Dennis Murphy. In learning that Dennis killed Debra, law enforcement was able to conclude through DNA that he did not kill Theresa–meaning all the connections that seemed to be linked were just a coincidence. So now, detectives are looking at Theresa’s case with new eyes. And with the momentum of one 1973 cold case solved under their belt, they’re hoping you might help them get another. If you know anything about the murder of Theresa Dusevitch on November 23, 1973, please call the Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-836-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip at emeraldcoastcrimestoppers.com.
