    Stephanie Wasilishin Part 2

    Stephanie Wasilishin Part 2

    At about 2 a.m. on July 9th, 1993, 10-year-old Nikki Wasilishin is deep asleep under the covers of her bed when she is woken up by a flashlight in her face. It’s an officer from the Sedona, Arizona police department. He tells her that her parents have gotten into an altercation, and she needs to come with him.
     
    As she’s escorted out of her room and through the front door, she sees her mother’s boyfriend, Russel Peterson, on the couch. He’s rocking back and forth, and his hands are covered in blood. When the officer finally gets Nikki in the police car, she’s met by her 3-year-old little sister, who is repeating the same thing over and over again: “Poppy killed Mommy, Poppy killed Mommy.” 
     
    Their mother, Stephanie Wasilishin, was gone. Over 30 years later, her family is still fighting for answers.

    Courtney Holden

    Courtney Holden

    When Detective Randy Lesser from the Spokane Police Department gets assigned a welfare check turned missing person case, he quickly realizes that no one has seen 27-year-old Courtney Holden for nearly two years. While her adoptive mother and brother, Judy and Joshua Holden, would tell police that Courtney and her 7-year-old son left willingly just a few days prior, investigators begin to discover and untangle a large and very disturbing web of lies within the entire family. 
     
    If you have any information about what happened to Courtney Holden, please call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.

    Tracey Kirkpatrick

    Tracey Kirkpatrick

    Tracey Lynn Kirkpatrick was a 17-year-old with the world at her fingertips and worked hard to make that happen. She had a solid plan to get her bachelor’s degree and then attend law school, and she worked two jobs to realize this dream. But on March 15, 1989, while working at a women’s clothing store in Frederick, Maryland, that was all stripped away from her when she was brutally murdered. The week this episode airs marks 35 years since that night, and her case continues to baffle investigators.
     
    If you have any information, please contact the Frederick Police Department at 240-674-2612.

Fabulous

Very caring host. Just found this podcast and it is a keeper. Very sorry for your sister. Keep up the good work! And Happy 18th Birthday to Marley.

Fake voice is a hard no

Her normal voice would be fine, but she changes it during the episodes. It is like nails on a chalkboard. Hard no which is sad because the content is great!

DisneyLove93 ,

Incredible content, thoughtful coverage

Giving a 5 star review for a 5 star, effective, compelling, well-thought out podcast and a creator who cares. Sarah is a deeply loving person who deserves all her flowers, and is inspirational for taking a negative to make a positive. And while that’s inspirational, it is recognized by this listener that the journey to get to this point has been long and hard - which is why her empathy for the victims and their loved ones is so apparent. Truly just an incredible and thoughtful podcast.

If I may offer - the way the “s” sound or other consonants pop on the mic makes it hard for me to listen for long periods. If there was a pop filter or mic filter on to lessen those, I’d listen to the show non-stop. In its current form, I do need to take breaks as the sounds trigger my misophonia. Not enough to detract a star, but wanted to share the feedback. 🩶
