BONUS EPISODE~ Unraveling
Papi Killed Mommy
⚠️ Trigger Warning This episode discusses domestic violence, homicide, trauma, panic attacks, and systemic failures in law enforcement and media. Listener discretion is advised. 🎧 Bonus Episode: Unraveling It’s been one week since I hit publish on Episode Twelve. One week since I said, “Season One is over.” And in that week — I’ve unraveled. I thought finishing would feel like relief. Like release. But it hasn’t. It’s felt like grief. Like failure. Like drowning. Because it’s the end, and still — no charges. No arrest. Nothing. Thirty-two years later, and it feels...

Papi Killed Mommy
Send us a text In this special bonus episode of Papi Killed Mommy, I share my very first CrimeCon experience — a three-day whirlwind in Denver that was emotional, overwhelming, and unforgettable. The journey started on the road: 900 miles, 14 hours, my best friend Melissa by my side, and my emotional support pup, Dickie Birdie, curled up in the backseat. Between reroutes, pouring rain, thick fog, and deer threatening to dart across the road, the drive was intense. We kept each other laughing ...

Papi Killed Mommy
Send us a text Hi, my name is Nikki. I’m the daughter of a murdered woman, and welcome back to Papi Killed Mommy. In this bonus episode, I’m reading a letter I wrote to my mom, Stacy Wasilishin Writing it was healing. Reading it out loud was harder than I expected.

And in the end, I realized that s...

BONUS EPISODE: A Letter From a Friend
Before Papi Killed Mommy officially launches on July 9th, I wanted to give you the chance to meet the woman at the heart of this story — my mom, Stacy.
This bonus episode features a letter written by one of my mother’s oldest and closest friends. In it, she shares vivid memories and heartfelt reflections that paint a picture of who my mom truly was — beyond the headlines, beyond the tragedy.
You’ll hear stories about Stacy's warmth, her humor, her strength, and her love for her children. These are the memories that don’t make it into crime reports or news coverage — the kind that come from years of friendship, laughter, and life shared.
This episode is raw and real. It’s meant to honor my mom as a full person — not just a victim. You’ll get to know her as the vibrant, complicated, beautiful soul she was.
If this touches you, please tune in when Papi Killed Mommy premieres on July 9th — exactly 32 years after the night I said goodnight to her for the last time.
This podcast is my way of reclaiming her story. It’s a journey through truth, trauma, justice, and survival — and I’m inviting you to take it with me.
🐾✈️ Traveling to CrimeCon with my best friend, Dickie Birdie, comes with some unexpected expenses — his recent vet visit alone was $827. If you’d like to help make sure he’s safe and comfy on this trip, I’ve put together a small Amazon Wishlist with his travel essentials (like a stroller, pop‑up kennel, and car seat). Every bit of support means the world. 💙
