According to Waller County Sheriff Troy Guidry, later that day investigators found the knife, believed to be the murder weapon, and Diaz’s missing head on the property.
Diaz was found dismembered and covered in blood when Dicus was arrested and confessed to the gruesome murder.
The couple had been married for less than four months.
One of Diaz’s friends saw her at a Christmas party less than a month ago where Dicus stormed out.
“Everyone was having a good time and he walked away looking really upset,” the friend told the New York Post.
She believes Diaz may have been the target of domestic violence.
‘She never said there was a problem; she maybe she was just embarrassed to admit that her relationship wasn’t perfect,” she explained.

Guidry initially described the victim as a Hispanic female and said investigators found “a dismembered body part and a residence covered in blood.”
A knife that investigators believe to be the murder weapon was found in the home, along with Diaz’s head.
Law enforcement officials said there had been previous incidents involving the couple.
“There have been previous calls, in terms of riots, but nothing along these lines, with this level of violence,” Guidry told reporters on Thursday.
The woman is believed to have been dead since around 11 p.m. the night before her body was found after members of Dicus’s family called police at her home in the 200 block of Oak Hollow Boulevard. The call came in around 4:45 p.m.
The couple lived in a cabin behind her parents’ house on the outskirts of Houston.
Law enforcement officials described the victim as a Hispanic female and said investigators found “a body part, dismembered, and a residence covered in blood.”
Diaz’s dismembered head was found inside the residence separate from his body.
Diaz posted this photo of her and her husband just two weeks ago for Christmas. In a comment, Dicus called her “my beautiful wife” and referred to her as a “trophy.”
The couple married in October.
Dicus’s parents told agents their son entered their home after making a statement that led them to search the cabin.
The parents then found Diaz’s body and called 911.
“That’s the world we live in today, it’s an awful scene,” Guidry said. Both sides of these families will be upset by it.

The local judge who married the couple also shared a heartbreaking post remembering Diaz and stating his intention to remove their marriage photo.
“Like many of you, I am extremely saddened and shocked by the news of this tragic event and my prayers are with all of their families,” Waller County Judge Trey Duhon said.
“Out of respect for the families, I have removed my photo with the couple and the post announcing their marriage, mainly due to the insensitive nature of some comments made on that post,” he continued.
The judge said he is “sure” that justice will be done for Díaz and his family.
“This matter will now go through our court system, and I am confident that the Waller County Sheriff’s Office and the Waller County District Attorney’s Office will see that justice is done,” Duhon wrote.
