After falsely accusing three Duke University lacrosse players of rape in 2006, Crystal Mangum allegedly stabbed her boyfriend, Reginald Dye, and may face murder charges, The Herald Sun of Durham, N.C., reported. Dye died on Wednesday from injuries due to the stab wounds, which Mangum inflicted in his torso using a kitchen knife, police said in an interview with The Herald Sun.

Mangum served 88 days in jail after she was found guilty of child abuse, injury to personal property and resisting a public officer in December.
