A 29-year-old man called his father to share that his grandmother was dead, then later confessed to a deputy that he snapped her neck and stomped on her head, according to court documents. After his call to his father, Nicholas Ivey's dad phoned 911 to request a welfare check for his mother-in-law, 76-year-old Patricia Dibella, on Monday, February 2, Ivey's arrest affidavit says.
