Florida State University police were notified around 11 a.m. Friday that Nicole Gene Nachtman, an FSU sophomore, was considered a person of interest in the killings.

Neighbors called 911 Thursday night after they heard gunshots in the area of Fennsbury Drive.
Myriam Dienes was a captain in the Naval Reserve and had just returned home from service that night, the Sheriff’s Office said. On Saturday, a Leon County judge ordered her held without bail. A woman, identified as 56-year-old Myriam Dienes, was discovered in her neighbor’s driveway.
Nachtman attends FSU and she was detained by FSUPD while Hillsborough authorities obtained a warrant, according to media reports.
On Friday, Nachtman was located in Tallahassee for questioning. “I said, no, it didn’t, it sounded like gun shots”, Reynolds said.
At some point, she will be transferred back to Hillsborough County.
But Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies found two bodies.
Nicole Nachtman is the daughter of Myriam Dienes and stepdaughter of Robert Dienes.
They are unsure about the man’s death, but they said it appeared he was entering the home when it happened. As the investigation went on throughout much of the day on Friday, nearby resident Leigh Reynolds watched in disbelief as the quiet street she has lived on for decades turned into a crime scene.

Investigators returned to the scene again Saturday and divers were searching the small lake behind the home for further evidence. “Bang, bang, bang! And my husband came out of the other room and said, ‘Did you hear that?’ He said it sounded like a crash”.
