Detective Story with Mike Hammond returns with the story of Nickole Kitchen. Nickole's amazing rise out poverty to become a successful young businesswoman and inspiration to her community was violently cut short by a man she had hoped was her life partner.  Retired Chicago Police Homicide Detective Hammond walks you through her rise, popularity and the love and respect she had in her family and community.  Then he tells you how a violent, con man Lothario masquerading as a man of the cloth won her heart and then took her life and the investigation that tracked him down and brought him to justice.  

Join us on this journey and learn what a loss for us all Nickole's murder was but how her light continues to shine through her family and the people in her community and church whom she left such a lasting impression.
