Juju Chang Reveals Chilling Details in Fresno Murder Case

URGENT UPDATE: ABC’s Juju Chang has uncovered shocking new details in the decades-old murder case of Debbie Dorian, a 22-year-old Fresno State graduate, in a special episode of 20/20 airing this Friday.

In this revealing investigation, Chang highlights the relentless pursuit of justice that took 23 years to resolve. Dorian was found dead in her northeast Fresno apartment in 1996, leaving a community haunted by the unsolved crime. “There was literally a murderer on the loose in the Fresno area,” Chang states, emphasizing the urgent nature of this chilling case.

Viewers will witness critical moments as investigators, led by retired officer Vince Zavala, finally connect the dots to identify Nickey Stane as Dorian’s killer. “Even after he retired from Fresno law enforcement, he stayed on unpaid to continue to follow leads,” Chang reported. This dedication culminated in Stane’s arrest, a moment captured in exclusive body-cam footage.

In the upcoming episode, audiences will see Zavala confront Stane at a fast-food restaurant where he was working. Additionally, a previously unseen interrogation video reveals Stane’s desperate attempts to evade capture as investigators closed in. “It was a fascinating cat-and-mouse game that was going on,” Chang noted, showcasing the intense psychological battle between Stane and law enforcement.

Furthermore, viewers will hear from one of Stane’s survivors, known as Jane Doe #1, who bravely shares her story of survival. “Survivor is exactly the right word,” Chang says, highlighting the impact of Stane’s actions beyond Dorian’s murder.

With Nickey Stane now serving a life sentence at the California Medical Facility due to his age, Chang emphasizes the importance of remembering Debbie Dorian and the lives affected by this tragic crime. “The idea that all these people were affected by the crime… is really a tribute to all of the storytelling that we do here at 20/20,” she stated.

As the episode airs, the community and viewers alike are reminded of the lasting impact of crime and the relentless pursuit of justice. Tune in to see how this long-awaited resolution unfolds and the voices of the survivors finally get their chance to be heard.
