Interview with her friend: Laurie Swift

Send us a text📍 Bonus Episode: Laurie Swift Remembers Stacy I’m Nikki—daughter of a murdered woman. This bonus episode features longtime friend Swifty sharing candid memories of my mom, Stacy, that bring her to life beyond the headlines. Recorded back in May, these clips are raw, unscripted, and mostly unreleased. Through Swifty's voice you’ll see a young Stacy who thrifted, cleaned obsessively, and lived through music like Aerosmith and Foghat.We’re halfway through this journey—six episodes complete, six more to go. The first half covered 1993, the year my mom was murdered. The second half will span the next three decades of silence, missed opportunities, and my fight for justice. Before moving forward, I want to pause and remind you: Stacy wasn’t just a case file. She was a daughter, sister, mother, and friend.📞 Calls to ActionIf you believe Stacey’s story deserves another look, please reach out:Sedona Police Department • Phone: 928‑282‑3100 • Email: sfoley@sedonaaz.gov (Chief Stephanie Foley) Ask them to reopen Stephanie Marie Wasilishin’s cold case.Yavapai County Attorney’s Office • Phone: 928‑771‑3344 • Email: victim.services@yavapaiaz.gov Request reinvestigation and witness reconsideration.Sedona Red Rock News • Phone: 928‑282‑7795 • Email: editor@larsonnewspapers.com Encourage them to re-report the case from the family’s point of view.🎗️ Support the Podcast & MerchandiseJust yesterday I spent $650 (Sticker Mule), $110 (Vistaprint), and $25 (Zazzle)—nearly $785 total—to prepare merch for CrimeCon.
