Mark Nichols and his wife, Christi, had been married for three years when an evening out took a dark turn. Leaving their two children with a babysitter, they went to a bar. Mark returned after midnight, paid the sitter in cash, and things took a strange twist. Usually, it was Christi who handled the payment, and she did it with a check. The babysitter later claimed she didn't believe Christi came home with Mark.

The next day, Mark reported Christi missing, stating they argued until 2:00 a.m. before he went to sleep. He woke up at 7:00 a.m., realizing Christi was gone. Instead of immediately reporting it, he took the kids to Christi's grandmother and spent two hours supposedly searching for her. However, no one in town reported seeing him.

Mark moved out the day after Christi's disappearance, selling their belongings and vehicles. Christi's purse and suitcase were later found at an Interstate 80 rest stop in March 1988, with all the contents intact, as if intentionally placed to be discovered.

Christi, facing marital problems and alleged abuse, had met with a divorce attorney two days before disappearing. She sought custody of her children and expressed a desire to end the marriage. Mark's version of events differed significantly, and his polygraph results were inconclusive.

The unsettling discovery of trace amounts of Christi's blood raised suspicions. Mark claimed it was menstrual blood, but analysis disproved his statement. Despite these red flags, Mark currently lives in Arkansas with his third wife, and foul play is suspected in Christi's disappearance.

Join us as we unravel the mysterious disappearance of Christi Nichols, a quiet and dedicated mother whose case remains unsolved to this day.

Are you ready to join us on a harrowing journey through a chilling tale of tragedy, inconsistency, and justice gone awry? We are your hosts, Robert Parmer and Lexi Kakis, and we're peeling back the curtain on the heartrending case of Kadie Lee Major and her daughter River. As we journey through this tangled web of events, we will shine a light on the haunting peculiarities surrounding Kadie's death, the inexplicable actions of her husband, Aaron, and the glaring inadequacies of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.

Buckle up as we delve into the strange behavior exhibited by Aaron Major. The inconsistencies in his statements, his peculiar request for a solitary funeral, all while being under the police radar, will leave you scratching your head. Was Kadie on the edge due to postpartum depression as Aaron claimed, or was there something more ominous lurking beneath the surface? We will wrestle with these pressing questions and many more as we try to piece together the tragic events leading to Kadie's untimely demise.

This journey is not for the faint-hearted. In our final act, witness as Kadie's mother, Vicki, unearths disturbing evidence that contradicts the official narrative. Vicki, armed with her relentless pursuit of truth, is the glimmer of hope in this dark tale. Will she be able to bring justice to her daughter and granddaughter? Tune in for this gripping discussion.

Does justice always prevail? We challenge this notion as we unpack the complex and controversial case of Temujin Kensu. We dissect the numerous irregularities and discrepancies that marred the trial, from the conspicuous absence of physical evidence to questionable eyewitness testimony. Just how did a faulty photo lineup and a dubious jailhouse informant contribute to Temujin Kensu's conviction?

We then grapple with the shocking conflicts of interest tied to Temujin Kensu's legal representation. Unearth the harrowing truth about David Dean, Temujin Kensu's lawyer, who was later disgraced and disbarred for professional misconduct. Discover how Dean's compromised ethical standing and subsequent negligence left Temujin Kensu defenseless, further tainting the already questionable trial proceedings.

Finally, stand with us as we vigorously advocate for Temujin Kensu's release. Feel the frustration as we shed light on the prosecution's misleading tactics and lack of thorough investigation into other plausible suspects. Hear our call to action for listeners everywhere to join us in urging Governor Whitmer to rectify this terrible miscarriage of justice. Engross yourself in this riveting journey through a broken justice system and get inspired to enact change.

Please enact change by reaching out to Gov Whitmer Daily at  https://somgovweb.state.mi.us/GovRelations/Co

We warmly welcome you to the Broken System podcast, where we peel back the layers of our justice system to reveal its flaws and discuss cases that expose the unsettling truth - not everyone is treated fairly. Joining us for this pivotal conversation is our new co-host, Paige Goode, a skilled lawyer with a wealth of experience. This fresh season promises to deliver heart-wrenching narratives, insightful interviews, and updates on DJ Vicky's case, not to mention collaborations with other podcasters and potential live shows.

On this riveting journey, we're honored to shed light on the story of Temujin Kensu, a man wrongfully convicted for a murder he didn't commit. His wife, Paula, walks us through the baffling details of his case, revealing a mix of shocking prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective assistance of counsel that led to his conviction. Despite living in the shadows of the prison system, Temujin continues to fight for justice, not only for himself but also for his fellow prisoners. His story is a testament to human resilience and the power of truth.

Listen as we delve into the unanswered questions that plague the murder case, and Temujins continuous struggle for exoneration. We'll also dive into the world of litigation and advocacy within the prison system, discussing Temujin's various legal battles. All while exploring the emotional story of his late wife Amaco, their love story, and how Paula, his current wife, tirelessly advoc
