At about 2 a.m. on July 9th, 1993, 10-year-old Nikki Wasilishin is deep asleep under the covers of her bed when she is woken up by a flashlight in her face. It’s an officer from the Sedona, Arizona police department. He tells her that her parents have gotten into an altercation, and she needs to come with him. As she’s escorted out of her room and through the front door, she sees her mother’s boyfriend, Russel Peterson, on the couch. He’s rocking back and forth, and his hands are covered in blood. When the officer finally gets Nikki in the police car, she’s met by her 3-year-old little sister, who is repeating the same thing over and over again: “Poppy killed Mommy, Poppy killed Mommy.”  Their mother, Stephanie Wasilishin, was gone. Over 30 years later, her family is still fighting for answers.Sign the petition here: https://www.change.org/p/demand-a-complete-homicide-investigation-for-the-murder-of-stephanie-marie-wasilishin Anyone with information about the death of Stephanie Wasilishin is asked to call the Sedona, Arizona Police Department at 928-282-3100.Thank you to our sponsors, BetterHelp and June's Journey.Visit BetterHelp.com/Justice to get 10% off your first month.Discover your inner detective and download June's Journey today on IOS or Android.For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com Follow us on social media:Twitter: @VFJPodInstagram: @VoicesforJusticePodcastTikTok: @VoicesforJusticePodcastFacebook: @VoicesforJusticePodcast Voices for Justice is hosted by Sarah TurneyTwitter: @SarahETurneyInstagram: @SarahETurneyTikTok: @SarahETurneyFacebook: @SarahETurneyYouTube: @SarahTurney  The introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread of Clouds by Blue Dot Sessions.

The name Ann Marie Burr may sound familiar. Especially if you are well-versed in the history of famous serial killers in the United States, specifically Ted Bundy. For decades, people have speculated that 8-year-old Ann Marie from Tacoma, Washington, may have been Bundy’s first kill in 1961, long before the murders he confessed to. But what’s fact and fiction concerning Bundy’s possible involvement in Ann Marie’s case has been greatly misunderstood. So today, I want to reel it in, consider all possibilities, and focus on what we know.If you have any information, please call the Tacoma Police Department at (253) 798-4721 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Thank you to our sponsor, June’s Journey.

In 2009, Claudia Lawrence lived in the idyllic city of York in North Yorkshire, England. At 35 years old, she seemed to have a great routine going for her. She worked as a chef at the University of York’s Goodricke College Roger Kirk Center, about two miles from her home. Every day, she woke up, went to work, and came home. Several nights a week, she met her regular group of friends at her favorite pub, The Nag’s Head, which was only four doors down from her two-story townhome. She kept a routine so tight that some likened it to the film “Groundhog Day.” But this routine was interrupted on March 19, 2009, when she seemingly stood up her best friend Suzy Cooper for a night at the Nag’s Head. But Suzy knew this was not like Claudia. Then Suzy found out Claudia hadn’t shown up for work that day either. Suzy says she could have never imagined that her best friend would go missing or that the media pressure she and Claudia’s family craved for her would quickly turn on them.If you have any information about Claudia Lawrence and are in Yorkshire, call 101 for the non-emergency police line.
