A young girl who was failed by every single person in her life, and in the end had no justice.

Episode Quotes-Remember, upon the conduct of each, depends the fate of all -Alexander the great -You may not have delivered the fatal blow, but were it not for your failure to act Nixzmary Brown would probably not have died from that blow.

You had a duty to act and you did nothing. -Justice Patricia DemangoIf you like the show please consider leaving us a review!The link below will take you to our social media pages, and most podcast platforms!Sources:NYC Daily News Murderpedia ABC News WebsleuthsLove,Lacy Wilkinson

This week We're All Screwed and Homicide Highway are meshing together to hear Lacy's story. I feel it's important for me to tell my story in the hopes that it makes someone out there facing a domestic violence situation will get the courage to save themselves. A large reason of why I started podcasting was to help victims who felt that they had nowhere else to turn. The system fails all of us daily, and we have to do better. If my story inspires you in any way I encourage you to pass it along and show that we are enough and that there is hope no matter how gruesome it looks. Lacy Wilkinson

Join us this week while Harley tells us the first section of the awful tale of Fred and Rosemary West. These two were awful sadists who abused their own children in the worst possible way and left a string of bodies in their path. How do these people meet each other and realize they want to kill in the same way. These two met when Fred saw a 15 year old Rosemary at a bus station. This brings an interesting question on if Rosemary was destined to go down a bad road on her own or was she groomed.  Episode QuotesI would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life. -Corazon Aquino I am so cleaver that sometimes I don't understand a single word I'm saying. - Oscar Wilde Promo:What Was That Like If you like the show please consider leaving us a review!The link below you can find the links to our social media, and most podcast platforms!Love,Lacy and Harley
