  • I’m so sorry

    I’m so sorry you had to go thru all this pain just to have to beg for justice. I do hope one day you and your family gets the justice deserved. Also I heard about your mom’s story from morbid and I have been hooked and will continue to share your story.

  • Hope you get answers

    Hopeful for justice! I became worried that the tone of this podcast will be held against you by authorities that are now trying to do the work. Understanding that you are rightly and more than understandably upset and have a lack of trust based on what’s happened so far. It’s emotional to listen at times while host processes this trauma.

    I thought that we were going to be listening to actual recordings from the night that this happened.But it was just Nikki. Just her speaking as if she was the recording. So my point is, how do we know that what she is saying is actually what was said when it’s just her speaking. Now I will say that I literally could only get through the first couple episodes. So it might get better after what I had listened to. This is just my opinion after the first couple episodes. So take that for whatever it... more

  • an emotional and deeply touching journey

    this podcast is so wonderfully done, i’m shocked that it’s Nikki’s first. I came over from morbid podcast and i’m so glad i did. Stacie’s story is like so many other unfortunate stories that come from domestic violence. Nikki’s strength and determination is truly remarkable and awe inspiring. i pray that her and her family get the answers and justice they so desperately deserve.
