Last week, I told you the story of two-year-old Arianna Starkey, whose father, Austin Starkey, failed to protect her from his homicidal girlfriend, Destani Neel. Both Austin and Destani were sentenced to prison for their roles in Arianna’s brutal death.

Arianna’s death hit her family hard, and it’s taken some time for her maternal grandmother, Christina Justice, to be ready to tell her story. In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Christina, who told me about how she and her daughter, Arianna’s mom, Kassie, have dealt with their loss, as well as the questions that remain unanswered about the case and who their precious Ari was.

This is part 2 of the harrowing story of Arianna Starkey.
