The call begins with “9‑1‑1, what’s your emergency?”
 Moments later, the man on the other end admits he might have killed my mother. Yet 32 years have passed without a single charge, trial, or ounce of justice.

My name is Nikki—daughter of a bright, funny, fiercely loved woman whose death was ruled a homicide and then quietly shelved. I was ten when I kissed her good‑night for the last time. Today I’m done staying quiet.

“Papi Killed Mommy” is the podcast I wish I never had to make: part investigation, part memoir, part battle cry. In this premiere trailer you’ll hear the real 9‑1‑1 audio, the confession hidden in plain sight, and the silence that followed when the county attorney said there “wasn’t enough evidence.”

What to expect in the series

• Episode 1 (July 9, 11:00 PM MST): A minute‑by‑minute retelling of that final night and the childhood it destroyed.
• Future episodes: Interviews with family, and friends; documents; analyses; and new leads crowdsourced from listeners determined to break a 32‑year stalemate.
• Bonus content: Letters from my mom’s closest friends 

Why listen?

Because behind every cold case is a family still burning for answers. Because “insufficient evidence” should never be the end of the story. Because you—yes, you—might hold the tip, resource, or amplification that finally pushes this case across the finish line.
