Wayne Dolcefino ( President of Dolcefino Consulting ) joined Two heartbroken and very angry mothers, Marina Maddii Quiroz and Amanda Morales on Friday 11/19/2021 to hold a news conference in front of the Dayton Police Department, located at 2004 N. Cleveland Street, to call for heads to roll. We are now conducting investigations into other accidents in the City of Dayton. To reveal the horrible police negligence and city hall cover up in the handling of police investigations of accidents that killed one of their daughters and left another paralyzed.
The mothers called for the resignation of Interim City Manager David Willard and demand Dayton City Council conduct an independent investigation of the Dayton PD and make the findings public. Police Chief Robert Vine announced his resignation last week, citing a new job, but not the Dolcefino Consulting investigation that has proven the city of Dayton lied to at least one of these accident victims families and failed the citizens of Dayton.
Madelyn “Maddii” Quiroz was just 16 years old when she was the victim of a major car accident that paralyzed her from the waist down. On January 23, 2020, ( Maddii ) , A dancer on her high school team climbed into the backseat of her friend’s car to get crawfish after school. The driver began driving recklessly, racing another car, and eventually crashed.
Dayton PD did not conduct a sobriety test, inventory the vehicle, or conduct formal witness interviews. Maddii’s mother Marina begged DPD to conduct an accident reconstruction. The victim’s mom says police lied when they told her they didn’t have the resources for accident reconstruction. In fact 2-accident reconstructionist were on the police payroll. Dayton PD has not bothered to even interview the teenage victim in 22 months.
For a year and half the city fought the mom’s request to view police body camera video, even telling the Texas Attorney General the video was part of an ongoing criminal investigation. It turns out that was a lie. The video was destroyed by Dayton PD, just months after the accident and the city is now claiming the case was never under investigation.
One of these moms buried her daughter and the other has to see her little girl struggle every minute of every day for the rest of her life and the city of Dayton has treated them like well you know the rest said Wayne Dolcefino. The city has kept all their incompetence and cover ups a secret from the citizens of Dayton and that ended on Friday 11/19/2021 .
Sadly, Maddii’s accident was not the only case botched by DPD
On July 6, Allyssa Salazar sent her last Snapchat video, which shows her and a friend drinking at a sports bar. Hours later, Allyssa died in the passenger seat of a car that flipped over on 146. Salazar was ejected from the sunroof and the car crashed on her.
Dayton PD noted no alcohol or drug use in their accident report. However, photographs from the scene show bottles of alcohol and a bag of marijuana in the grass just feet from the wreck. As in Maddii’s case, DPD again refused an accident reconstruction and fought requests for body camera footage.
Criminal charges were never filed in either accident and now we have body camera footage of that accident the media will want to see. We have also obtained a copy of a previously secret report written by former Dayton City Manager Theo Melancon who confirmed the police incompetence. Melancon recommended Chief Vine be demoted last year, but the current interim city manager reversed the recommendation.

Dayton PD noted no alcohol or drug use while on the scene of the accident.
That recommendation led both moms in these cases to call for the resignation of Willard and demand the Dayton City Council conduct an independent investigation of the Dayton police department.
No arrests or criminal charges have ever been filed in either accident.
