This week on True Crime Wife by Jess, we’re covering a heartbreaking and disturbing case out of Cleveland, Ohio. This is The One With the Manipulative Girlfriend.

32-year-old George Cox Jr.—a father, son, and beloved member of his family—was murdered by someone he trusted: his girlfriend, Dy’mond Vaden.

What started as a tumultuous, on-again off-again relationship ended in violence, deception, and a chilling lack of remorse.

After stabbing George during an argument, Dy’mond didn’t call for help. Instead, she searched how long it would take him to die—and then contacted others to help dispose of his body.

For seven months, George’s family searched for answers while she claimed she didn’t know where he was.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Who George was beyond the headlines
• His relationship with Dy’mond
• The events leading up to his murder
• The investigation and discovery of his body
• Key evidence presented in court
• Victim impact statements and sentencing

🕊️ In Memory of George Cox Jr. A father, a son, and someone deeply loved. His life mattered—and his story deserves to be told.
