146. The Murder of Nicola Cross

 On September 14th, 2015, Nicola “Nikki” Cross tucked her two children into bed and kissed them goodnight in their home in Hemel Hampstead. Her husband, Daniel, was on a business trip in Hull three hours away,

Around 10:30 pm a strange man appeared outside the house demanding Nikki let him in.  Nikki called Daniel to discuss how she and the kids could get somewhere safe when the strange man broke into the home. Helpless, Daniel listened as the whole nightmare unfolded.

Join Cam and Jen as we discuss The Murder of Nicola "Nikki" Cross.
