What a frustrating story - but the telling was incredibly well done. It was real, and raw, and riveting. I binge listened to the episodes and am still shocked there has not been justice in this case. I hope you co time to make podcasts Nikki, your mom would be so proud!
I just listened to your episode on Crime Weekly at CrimeCon & I am HOOKED. I am just about to start this podcast & I cannot wait to hear your story.

Hopeful for justice!
