Earlier this year, ABC15 revealed that DiPonzio’s mistakes in handling evidence impacted at least 37 active court cases and 61 police investigations.
PHOENIX — As a direct result of ABC15’s reporting, federal and state officials are now separately investigating the situation involving a former Phoenix homicide detective whose mistakes have impacted dozens of murder cases.
DiPonzio, who is married to a Phoenix assistant chief, went on medical leave in 2021 when she was confronted with her mistakes, records show.When Phoenix police officials notified AZPOST about her leaving the department, they omitted that she was the subject of an ongoing internal investigation, which is required under state law.
Phoenix marked “no” on DiPonzio’s termination notice even though the department had opened an internal investigation file related to her mishandled evidence more than a year earlier, records show. Phoenix police and Maricopa County prosecutors have been accused by defense attorneys of covering up DiPonzio’s misconduct and trying to keep it hidden from the court.
