 šŸ“ Hi, I’m Nikki — the daughter of a murdered woman. Welcome back.
This week, I take you back to 1993, when my mom’s case stalled—but my Aunt Wendy never stopped fighting. Together with Grandma Bea, they held on to hope, and now I carry their legacy as the third generation of Wasilishin women demanding justice for my mother Stacy Wasilishin. This cycle must stop—

You’ll hear the story of my sister’s unsettling shift from ā€œPapi killed Mommyā€ to ā€œMommy killed herself,ā€ how a 1999 letter from Yavapai County Attorney Jim Landis laid out a path for renewed investigation that was never followed, and how the most poignant moment came when my sister reappeared in my life—only to vanish again.

Today marks 1,858 days since she's called. And today is her 36th birthday—four years older than Mom ever lived to be.
Kay, happy birthday. Please call me. We have so much to catch up on. Mom needs your help. I need your help. I’m sorry—sorry for everything. Please call.

Next Week on Episode 8

In July 2020, I discovered that Mom’s case had quietly been reopened—and that a local paper had blindsided my family with two articles. A detective floated ā€œsuicideā€ as a cause of death, and an investigator’s email lit a fire under me to finally request the full case file… The file sat unopened for eight months. When I did open it, my life—and this case—changed forever.
