The Golden State Valkyries: A Killer Among the Warriors

'She wasn’t just a fan—she was part of the game. And for some players, that made her deadly.'

Prologue: The First Free Throw

October 2017 – Oakland, California. The Golden State Warriors were at the peak of their dynasty, a basketball powerhouse led by Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson. But off the court, a different kind of player was making moves.

Her name was Diana Voss, a 28-year-old sports therapist who had embedded herself in the Warriors' inner circle. Blonde, charismatic, and fiercely intelligent, she had a reputation for getting close to players—sometimes too close.

Then, on the eve of Game 1 of the 2017-2018 season, power forward Jordan Bell collapsed during practice. The official cause? A sudden cardiac event. But whispers started when toxicology reports showed traces of aconite, a deadly poison derived from wolfsbane.

And Diana Voss had been the last person to give him a massage.

Chapter 1: The Pattern Emerges

Bell’s death was ruled an accident—until another tragedy struck. In March 2018, center Damian Jones was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. Cause of death? Acute organ failure. Again, aconite was detected.

Detective Marcus Cole of the SFPD noticed the connection: both players had been romantically linked to Diana Voss. But with no direct evidence, she remained untouched—until a third victim.

Chapter 2: The Final Buzzer

June 2018, just before the NBA Finals. Quinn Cook, a rising star, barely survived after his pre-game smoothie was laced with a paralytic. This time, security footage showed a woman in a Warriors hoodie slipping something into his drink.

The description matched Diana.

When police raided her apartment, they found:

A journal detailing 'unworthy' players who 'disrespected the game.'

Vials of aconite and succinylcholine (a muscle relaxant used in executions).

Tickets and jerseys from every team the deceased had played for.

Chapter 3: The Valkyrie’s Motive

Diana’s manifesto revealed a twisted rationale: she saw herself as a Valkyrie, a mythological chooser of the slain. She believed the Warriors’ legacy was being 'tainted' by players who didn’t 'earn their place.'

'Jordan partied too much. Damian was lazy. Quinn didn’t deserve his minutes. I was just… correcting the roster.'

Epilogue: Life Without Parole

Diana Voss was convicted of two counts of murder and one attempted murder in 2020. The Warriors organization never officially commented, but insiders say Curry himself pushed for tighter security around team staff.

To this day, some fans wonder: Was she working alone? Rumors persist of a second 'Valkyrie' still embedded in the NBA, waiting for the right moment to strike again.

Case Status: Closed… or is it?

'In the shadows of every dynasty, there are those who worship it—and those who would kill for it.'
