- Nicole VanderHeyden was a loving mother and devoted teacher - her friends said that her smile would light up any room.

This episode of "Prime Crime with Jesse Weber" dives deep into the case of the young mom and her deadly night out.

While investigators initially suspected VanderHeyden's boyfriend, the evidence pointed to George Burch, a man from Virginia, as the perpetrator. Despite Burch's claims that VanderHeyden's boyfriend was responsible, a jury found Burch guilty of first-degree intentional homicide in 2018. Burch appealed his conviction, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the decision in June 2021.

If it were the 1980's Doug would have been convicted on circumstances alone. Thank God for DNA and phone data
Scary to think how many people served prison time and were completely innocent.
Amen....
@@richardhoffman7572 There are thousands upon thousands of people doing prison time for crimes they did not commit. Even in this day and age. It's all about money and the corrupt justice system. No one cares.
The real masterminds of this crime are still out there.
The origin of all negative thoughts and sins originate from those entities with the ability to manipulate our minds; entities of many names, examples are spirits/ghosts/demons.
Those entities are the one roaming freely looking for the next opportunity to cause pain and suffering in Society.
all because the defence want the win , and has zero integrity to know the story is absolute crap , and sells it to the jury ,, and he is sitting there being a part of this program trying to justify the lies he told the jury. im absolutely sickened by the defence lawyers response in this program
It’s ironic that when somebody calls the police for a missing report, they’re told by police they can’t do anything until after 24 hours. Here, police are suspicious the boyfriend didn’t call the police immediately.
The 24 hour thing is not a law or true
@@pinkpugginz
Ahhh… yes it is!
… or that’s how the police respond anyway, so what’s the difference - whether it’s the law or whether the police simply tell you they won’t until 24 hours has gone by?!
The 24 hr thing is not a thing anymore
I guarantee you if the BF had gone to police the next morning, they would have replied, "your GF is probably mad at you and wants you to worry. She'll come back eventually. Give it some time."
@@mollymelena6104 that's not true. they asked why he didn't call the night before
A few detectives owe Doug's buddy a serious apology.
They jumped to conclusions and tried to bully a bad confession from someone.
That isnt detective work, that is just being a bully looking to pad his resume
His buddy is a good friend. He was honest and smart to walk out of there.
Well……if the victim is your sister would you care if they “bullied” a possible suspect?? I don’t … stop because you know what this slanted uninformed video showed you, educate yourself and look at the big picture
Agreed. The way they spoke to him was inappropriate, and not only in retrospect.
@@gliderider7077 if the victim is my sister, I want the right person behind bars. I don't want a coerced confession that's false and puts someone else in prison. So yes, I would ABSOLUTELY care if they bullied a POSSIBLE suspect.
@@gliderider7077 Sorry but cops telling outsight lies to coerce a confession by any means necessary is not OK just because it's legal and encouraged does not make it OK - it's just plain lazy, pure laziness that has destroyed countless lives in the past and still continue to destroy innocent people every day
Imagine how many innocent people are locked up because of cops making assumptions
Around 40% of murder suspects
So many 😢😢😢😢😢😢
A lot
Or reckless mistakes.
NOT George...
The Fitbit is what saved her boyfriend. I saw a report where they were able to corroborate his story literally to the step. The Fitbit recorded his resting heartbeat as he slept, the appropriate uptick and number of steps from his bed when he awoke to walk to tend to his crying baby, and on and on. That was a definitive timeline which could not be disputed. There was no time where he was shown walking as many steps as it would be to get to the vehicle, nor an increased heart rate as one would have coming upon the scene and bashing someone.
Google dashboard is what saved him.
Excellent reminder. There must have been a great number of more false convictions before advanced technology came along.
@Lala_B I saw that one too
@@redwatch.Absolutely. I genuinely wonder how many people were wrongly incarcerated and how many people are murderers walking free
just because the boy friend was cleared does not mean someone else did not knock out the killer. This video did not show enough DNA evidence to show me he was the killer- is that because they want us to think the man convicted was not the killer? We have seen our vaunted media do this with other criminal cases. The fact the jury convicted him in 3 hours suggests that there was DNA evidence liking him to violent acts. I would like to know what he had been previously convicted of????? Again why not tell us that? Would his prior convictions cause us to see he had related previous convictions? IF in fact he did do it then he is the best lair I have ever seen. His body language etc is not consistent with that of a guilty man. But I think if that happened to me I would go to the police because I would know DNA would link me to her.
Good on Matheu for NOT ALLOWING these bullies to rope him into something he could never get out of. If that happened they wouldn’t care who the REAL KILLER was - they would lie and cover to save face.
Have you seen Jane Fonda's face lift? She looks 21!
They thought he was involved. Relax.
1000% The only correct answer to every question by cops is, "I don’t answer questions. I invoke my 5th amendment rights." Then go call and attorney. This answer is not legally allowed to be used against you in court.
@@jimwertherThe issue is the partner is always the first suspect and guilty until proven innocent rather than innocent until proven guilty. They often assume right off the bat instead of looking for the real criminal. Cops have a tendency to do this- blaming the wrong person and wasting precious time to find the right one
@@GameChanger597
That's a rough way of looking at it. Fact is, the intimate partner is the most likely perpetrator. Law enforcement is taught to make concentric circles around the victim - those closest to her first, then one step removed, etc. It would be rather inefficient to begin by questioning random people whose names were chosen blindly out of the phone book.
That defence attorney has no soul .. you've got to be a certain kind of person to defend a murderer and try to send the victims partner to prison 🤮
Detrie wouldn't have gone to prison though
@@jimwerther Yeah, All he was trying to do was create doubt strong enough to force the jury to turn a not guilty verdict. You are right, it would not have sent Doug to prison.
@@scottcol23still takes a certain kind of person to willingly defend a murderer.
It is said that psychopaths gravitate to LE, higher Corporate positions and medicine. I really think many are also to be found in law.
Casey Anthony’s lawyer being a prime example.
Even the most vile are entitled to a fair trial because of the occasional innocent defendant that has been wrongly convicted in the court of public opinion.
@@Nous520
You sound like a jealous, bitter person. What a sad way to live.
Holy crap I’m so happy for Matheu, way to stand up for yourself when you know you’re right
Agreed. Once cops start their belligerent bs, all are off! Talk to my lawyer.
Those two cops are horrible people. They had him and Doug tried and convicted.
@@williamhenry9705no they weren't tried and convicted
Being a criminal defense lawyer must be damaging to your soul

Not if you're ethical. These were the worst humans I've seen in a while.
Good for their bank accounts 😅
@@NoFrictionZone not everyone is always guilty. OK. I actually slowly, but surely will hopefully be a lawyer, prosecuting 😊
certainly when you need to defend these type of people...
What a scary guy.
If Doug wasn't wearing a fit bit, he would have been strung up by everyone.
You never want your smile to brighten up a room 😢😢😢
Apparently not…
They don’t care that she died because of the fact that they weren’t the ones. Knowing they could be .
I'm glad mine doesn't because I was thinking the same thing.
@@pillowbug3006 Does the father of the child have a profile pic with his daughter?
Dang right, I suck the life out of every room I walk in to. 😊
The fact she made it all the way to the front of her own home where her babies were sleeping.. it makes me literally sick. What a monster. 6’7 and 260 pounds. She never stood a chance. Terrible story but I am thankful her boyfriend/his friends didn’t get railed. Insane story.
George Burch's story to me was not believable in any way shape or form.
@@lang1031 I looks to me like she willingly got into the car with him. She likes bad guys, apparently. Sad that it got her killed when she realized who she got into the car with.
If she was at home with her kids instead of going out getting drunk and bringing home one night stands from a bar she'd still be alive now.
@brianpena2239 this generation of women unfortunately attention is 1st priority for them.
@@PB22559 ,,BS ,,She was just getting a ride home ,,,stop assuming !
This is the best possible ad for getting a fitbit 😳
That fitbit paid for itself.
31:31 please this girl probably wasn’t attracted to this fool. he offered her a ride home then killed her
Yup, it’s pretty obviously simply exactly that’s what happened
@@frisc0strangler207 💯. I get so tired of the lies
That is exactly what I thought! There is no way that that woman would be interested in that man in any way.
Why get in the car with some random guy though !?
@@kyleblakeman8726 after a night of drinking and arguing with her bf, I think it’s safe to say that her judgement was impaired.
The Police officer that was interviewing that friend of Doug’s? He should be kicked off the force. Absolutely disgusting. Classic example as to why, no matter how innocent I am I will NEVER talk to Police without a lawyer present.
100%
He is an arrogant scum bag, makes detectives look bad and not trustworthy.
There is a saying
If your guilty you want a laywer
If your innocent you need a laywer
To many cops try and match the evidence to their theory instead of investigating everything. Tunnelvision is a real thing.
YEP!
MOST of the time you would encounter professionalism, BUT, when it comes to an innocent person's freedom, I would NOT take the chance that I will 100% encounter that professionalism.
There ARE some bad investigators out there, JUST like you will find some "bad ones" in EVERY other job out there.
@@robintamihere4550So are the criminals...
It is unforgivable what the defense attorneys did. Winning was so important that they were going to send an innocent man to prison. Shame on them.
but it is ok when a prosecutor does it?
@@captainjackson6135 No...neither one is "ok". The difference is that the LE's arrested the boyfriend first and realized they had the wrong guy and let him go.
It's literally their job.....and shows that science in 2000s prevails
That turned my stomach , I know he has to try & get his client off , but come on , DNA was all over her
While the real killer is walking free and causing chaos.
As women its a wonder as many of us survive the drunken stupidity of our youth... when my girls went through that stage, i spent a lot of sleepless nights thinking about all the near misses i had and the luck i walked away with. Peace to Nikki's loved ones. Jesse your the best..thank you for this fair & unpartial retelling of these events.

Burch is totally unbelievable.
After three hours of deliberating guilty. They didn't believe a word he said
George thought he did something there…what a looser!
Moral of the story………NOTHING good happens after midnight! Especially alcohol after midnight!
very true, every single time i drank alone in my home, and after a few glasses of wine i went to liquor store to buy more, so on all of those trips in the recent month I've lost my debit card, my apple headphones and the silver bracelet. this is very embarrassing to even talk about it
@@buildTheWALLNOW Well, I mean more if your drinking at the bar after midnight. I only drank for 8 yrs of my life and I’m 53, but I’d be EMBARRASSED and ASHAMED to say the crap I got myself into at the bar after midnight! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@reneesantiago6496 what was your drink of choice?
@@buildTheWALLNOW Well, as soon as I entered the bar I ordered either a straight shot of patron or jeager……and a beer with a water to chase the shot. Sometimes we did Fireball too. I had a very scary and horrible incident happen one night when I was drunk and I never drank again! I got out of it scott free, but that was just GOD🙏🏻🙏🏻 It could have been HORRENDOUS!!!😢😢
@@reneesantiago6496 what happened?
Think about the consequences before you do things out of anger. Don’t go with strangers !
Alcohol affects judgement - I doubt she would have done this sober.
she was drunk! although i'm pretty sure it did not matter to the killer. however, when people are drunk their decisions are dumber.
@@Carolinagirl589think about the consequences of drinking then
50% of murder vicitims in the US are under the influence.

Why do people enjoy going to bars so much? Nothing but drama vomiting and headaches.
loneliness, Bars are like sickly churches for the non religious
@@ocskywatch1 Not necessarily, religious people go to bars too (at least I think they do).
It’s loneliness! Some people don’t like drinking alone... I hate alcohol it is sooo much worse than marijuana

@frisc0strangler207 stay in prayer
Shame on them for what? For literally doing their job, a job that is Constitutionally protected, and which they literally take an oath? Shame on you for being so emotional and ignorant.
@@bauerj3398 there job is to show that their guy didnt do it. Instead, they fabricated a whole lie trying to get an innocent guy that trust me they knew was innocent into prison to win a case. Its unethical
@@skylerjirtle8841 It is not unethical in any way. Their job is to represent their client to the utmost of their ability. Doing anything other than that WOULD BE UNETHICAL. Period. Putting forth potential other culprits is not unethical. The alternative perpetrator defense is firmly established in U.S. legal system, and is constitutionally accepted (Chambers v Mississippi, U.S. v Scheffer, etc.). And there is exactly 0% chance that them posing that possibility would result in the other person going to jail. The other person is NOT on trial, and cannot be held legally culpable, especially based on something as fragile as a speculative hypothesis in court proceedings that he/she is not involved.
I live outside the US. This is the first time I've seen Prime Crime. Very impressed with Jesse Weber's style of presentation.
there are few comments like your's here. i agree completey. extremely well presented.
Yeah, this is a decent crime documentary.
Makes me wonder how many innocents are still in prison thanks to inaccurate information.
Exactly. I hate how cops lie, tell a person they have the evidence, 100% proof, say the another person is telling on them, you better tell first, blah blah blah. It elicits false confessions. Glad these two guys just told the truth and didn’t let police fck with them.
R.I.P. Nicole. Glad Doug was proven innocent 🙏🏻❤️ how sad for their kids to lose their mother in such a horrific way. So lucky they got the DNA & phone trace on that creep!!
Mother should not been drinking. Bad behaviour, never see the queen sitting in a bar ok
Woman coming out of bars. 3 am disgusting. Lady just does not behave that way.the reason three children are now without a mother. 😮😮
He's a truly evil man, so obvious that he was lieing, and yet he chose to put her partner, family and friends through that disgusting ordeal, pure evil
I hope the boyfriend sued the court and the convict.
The size of that monster 😨😨😨 I get instant chills thinking about what Nikki went through that terrible night 😢😢 I'm so glad that the fitbit vindicated Doug. I'm glad the procesution was able to see right through his BS story of him being this helpless and unwilling accomplice that him and his defense team tried so hard to push.
How could criminal come up with this story and think that jury would believe him.Those defence attorneys are same as him .
Our world has become So much Evil. God help us.
I agree with you
No such thing as

@@icemachine79 you don’t know Jesus. You really think Jesus wanted you lot to drink something that intoxicated you. That’s devil script you created yourself. Never mention Jesus with that grotesque behaviour.
There is no doubt!
When one of the defense attorneys were questioning the lying monster, the attorney to his right was so red in his face. He knew the story was BS, and apparently ashamed of it. It was so nice to listen to the prosecutor, tearing that story apart. Thanks to the jury for getting this one right.
R.I.P. Nicole. Your children will never trust anyone. It's just so sad that they had to learn the hardest way possible. I hate what that monster did to you, and hope he rots away slowly, and painfully in his cage. My heart goes out to the boyfriend, family, and friends, who suffer every day of their lives, because of that evil, selfish monster. Hope the pain will get more tolerable with time, but I know it won't ever go away, unfortunately.

The defense attorney in this program should hold his head in shame , absolutely disgraceful , despicable behaviour , he was quite happy to send an innocent man to prison just to get the win , no wonder justice is often not got , im sitting watching this and watching the defence try and fit up the poor Boyfriend , then speak on this program trying to justify these despicable lies and im fuming i really am
@@steve10 I totally understand your anger, and I share that with you.
On a side note, the defense attorney felt no shame and his face is naturally red with rosacea
This was a well put together video and a captivating story.
May Nicole rest in peace 🕊️ 🙏🏾
14:35 when people say an innocent person wouldn’t act like that when being arrested they would go mad shouting they are innocent WELL this man did and he is innocent so you never know how people will react everyone is different 🤷🏻♀️
He murders her and then puts her family through this ridiculous story. What a vile human being.
People with small children should stay home with their small children.
Fully agree.
No. We all deserve breaks from small children. It makes us better parents when we get those breaks
@@kristinflugaur-wessell1063 you need to mature mentally if you still need a drunk night.
The moment I saw the boyfriend crying I said "he didn't do it". I could tell from here that it was a genuine cry, so surely the detectives felt the same. Interesting how they had to sidestep their instinct when the evidence initially pointed to him.
I saw him cry thought 'thats a real cry, he didnt do it' and teared up myself, then they said well they found blood on shoes and the garage and thought 'oh im a terrible judge apparently' but glad to see it wasnt him and you could see right through the real murderers story
That really shouldn’t mean anything tho…you shouldn’t make any opinions off of how a person reacts. If he’s not a cryer, and he didn’t cry, that shouldn’t incriminate him either. The fact of the matter is that there was no evidence on him at all. He had an alibi because he was with his friend, his Fitbit showed that he didn’t leave his house after getting home, her Progressive car insurance was monitoring her vehicle and that showed that her vehicle never left. All they had against him was that he got in a fight with her and he had turkey blood on a shoe in his house. Everything else is irrelevant
@@curtf9813 Don't know if you're talking to me or the original comment but people very often think they are good at reading a person and often people are good at manipulating so when we saw him cry and it felt real to us, then there was suspicion and in the end he turned out to be innocent it felt like 'hey maybe I wont be fooled by a murderer in my own life' and that's comforting even if its not true.
But in a case with very little evidence and also at the start of every case you have to go off how people act.
The police have to look at a suspects body language as well as what they are saying, if someone cries and then laughs and then cries and then laughs its odd, it might not make you the killer but its odd so it will get you some level of suspicion. Understanding body language is a very important part of interrogating a suspect and also talking to witnesses.
I'm not a detective but I would say nothing is irrelevant in any case, we have the luxury of knowing everything having watched the whole video but the police at the time had to go with where the evidence pointed, and the victims partner is always the first to be written off.
As soon as I heard his voice when he asked “What do you mean similar features” or whatever. I just knew he was hoping the detective wouldn’t start describing Nichole.
Awesome story. Very sad and very scary but I’m glad justice was served.
6'7? 260lbs 😮 Thats a big man. She stood no chance.
and women genrally love " hunky men. " so alcoholism etc., she may have been attracted to him. i do not assume that meant she wanted to have any intimacy with him at that time.
This is very tragic. Be face guys. Don’t ever have contact with strangers when you are drunk. It will leads so many problems even the death
I swear this story used by defendant is something being used by criminals. There was another case Prime Crime did and the guy said that someone hit him on the head and next thing you know he woke up in the trunk with body then was told to bury body and was then locked back in the trunk and the killers left him there alive. He was found guilty…. I was happy that the jury stuck to the facts. So sorry for the victim’s family and hope they find peace and give all the love the victim’s kids will be needing.
Yeah, I remember that case. Her name was Molly I think
Yep. Molly Tibbetts.@@genomic_
The guy was Cristhian Bahena Rivera
I was thinking that same case but the Molly case was different than the guy in the trunk case. Molly was abducted by the illegal immigrant who didn't speak English but said 2 guys made him abduct her and then ran away from the car after they made him dump her body or something ridiculous like that.
Yes these criminals are making up these hooded figure stories to try to implicate the girls boyfriend or at least try to muddy the waters but fortunately the lies are never supported by evidence
That story was so lame, his attorneys actually allowed him to go up and tell that, the nerve, clowns.🤡🤡
Just a more complicated version of the old ghetto Mark 1 Mod 0 "that's not my weed, these aren't my pants, I have no idea how that happened".
Shame on those investigators! I guess it’s guilty until proven innocent!
Relax, it's quite normal for them to use these tactics. It actually works differently on people who are guilty. Most try to talk themselves out of it, give false information etc.
man this channel always got me at the edge of my seat!!!
Thank you so @Law&Crime , I’ve wondered about this case since it was first covered (Dateline or 48 hours) I’m so glad that the jury didn’t fall for this Monsters BS !! Sending comfort to her family, Doug & her children 🙏🏼 Rest In Peace Nicole
I watch a lot of true crime and I must say this case was very intriguing and the video very well put together.
It’s the only case where I actually had some doubts initially as to who the murderer was.
Glad they convicted the right person in the end. It could have gone either way if it wasn’t for the cell data and DNA.
Detectives shouldn’t have impunity to lie to put someone behind bars. I realize it helps them and it’s our horrific people behind bars but even one person gets locked up for lying it’s an injustice.
Lying should be illegal.
Horrible investigators; no wonder they convict so many innocent people
True
They just accused someone and done
What a liar blaming another man but u don’t ring police okeeyyyy 😂😂😂😂
Exactly!
How tf would anyone believe Burch's crazy story?
just look around u-tube or social media. just takes one on the jury. i find most people present an incrdibly biased point-of-view on their pet belief. they defend things that have no defence. religion anyone?

Props to the defense attorney for not laughing when explaining his client’s story
That was amazing in a bad way. I just love it love how you put the story together. Brilliant thanks Jesse.
This case was wild.
Defense thought of everything except the fact that no one in their right mind would ever believe this guy would have a chance with an attractive woman. No matter how drunk she is.
Well he's tall, women like that. Seems like she was at least talking to him
This is an EXCELLENT true crime video. It has one of the MOST SURPRISING twists I've ever seen. It's like the one in a Hollywood movie. The video editing is fantastic. It makes me gaze at the screen because the flow is natural and the presentation is easy to understand. Its not choppy as another version of this story that I've seen on another channel Thank you Law&Crime Network for such a great job.
Its so sick hearing a killer tell such a horrible story. Clearly she fought for her life against that killer capturing his DNA in the process. In her death she declared his guilt
She also picked him up at a bar. Did you miss that part?

I can’t even imagine sitting in the court room listening to this monster lie like this! Those defense attorneys are almost as horrible of human beings as he is. I get that it’s their job but they were disgracing this poor woman’s memory. What a pathetic excuse for human beings… to not only cold blooded murder a woman but make up some crap like this….
I like this dark background much better than the walls that look like they are smeared with something like dried blood on other shows with Jesse Weber.
THANK YOU!!!!! I thought I was the only one who thought that!!! I thought: am I just watching too many crime shows and I just see blood everywhere now?!!!

Through watching many a show like this it just becomes clear that defense attorneys are mostly terrible
Well told story. My deep condolences to Dylan, her two other children, Dylan's siblings as they shared a home and a Momma, for Doug, Nikki's mom + dad and family, all of Nikki's beloveds, for their huge, huge loss.
I am glad that Doug and his friend never went to prison for murder . The real killer looks so rough and how could he brutally murder this beautiful woman . RIP Nicole 🙏😇
Excellent series - thank you for this.
Great vid. Love your work

I'm glad the boyfriend and best friend were cleared. I bet 20 years ago these poor guys would have both been sent to the electric chair.
That story is the most ridiculous story i've ever heard. If someone points a gun at you and makes you kill somebody, The first thing you're going to do if you get away is call the police!

So, when I hear many complain why is it taking so long to make an arrest in murder cases .......this is why! WE dont want detectives assuming they have the Right person!
Amazing video. It was great to be kept guessing as the audience and my mind changed about 1000 times. Didn't trust the spouse, but in the end the other story just didn't compute. Good job jury!
I’m not sure on this one.
As soon as the cop told him about the warrant on his house, I knew he was innocent.
EXCELLENT WORK TO EVERYONE INCLUDING LAW & CRIME !!!!!~~~~~
the dude dodged a bullet there....
To think her kids will have to hear this,is a heart breaker
When will people learn that alcohol ruins everything??!
I would say misuse or abuse or overuse of alcohol ruins things. Civilized drinking, like wine with supper, certainly has no similarity to the way so many people overdo it. I was never able to just have one drink and became a binge drinker. It made me unhappy, unhealthy and aggressive when I drank. I haven't had a drink in 6 years and for me it is definitely the right choice. I really believe more people should not drink as they cannot handle it or use it inappropriately to self medicate, like I did. Many people think they cannot have fun without alcohol, which is when it becomes dangerous. It's sad. I think that a lot of the European countries do it properly. Families drink at meals together and so alcohol never becomes a crutch. It's just a pleasant addition to a nice time. We should learn from them.
No murderers ruin everything... Don't blame the alcohol cause if you are then we would all be murderers.
About 10 years ago driving home from work on my 45 minute commute I was behind a car where the passenger was throwing an article of clothing every couple of miles on the freeway. I thought that was very creepy.
That defense attorney is ridiculous! His clients dna is all over that poor woman!! His story makes no sense other than he is an animal, the jury got that one right!
Not sure why it would be necessary to add music to this video. Sometimes it's loud tinkling sounds, other times is annoying theatrical music. It was distracting and not worth wasting my time trying to watch it. 👎👎👎👎
Right
Oh you poor wittw baby... you hearded moosik... the world must bow to your fragility
I don't know who won the production crew thought that was a good idea they must have been a theater kid
These are well done episodes.
Nice work on this series. Interesting case and conclusion.
Brilliant production, sad story. Fact is, like germs, random crims are everywhere
Love your videos! Keep them coming!
I'm absolutely sickened by these defense attorneys.
This is a perfect example of why our UK caution (rights) now says 'It may harm your defence if you fail to mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court'.
what a great episode, i was hanging from my seat the whole time, loved the twists. thank god Doug was wearing the fitbit.
Man, it's so absolutely sad that she made it all the way to the front of her house that fateful night but wasn't able to get out of this monster's vehicle and go inside! I'm sure that when she opened his passenger-side door to get out, he placed the cord around her neck and dragged her back into his vehicle. I don't doubt at all that he never had any intentions of letting her go and to keep her from panicking and trying to fight him, he calmly followed her directions all the way to the front door of her home letting her think that she was going to get home safely and upon her trying to get out of his vehicle -- he attacked her and strangled her.
What a tragic ending to this beautiful young woman who was so loved and left behind three beautiful children who will never know her!
.
i agree with your comment, but also the alcolism and coming home with a man from the bar - yes it is sad exactly as you describe - but she was on that path.
Horrible beast😢
You forgot the part of the story where she picked him up at the bar all drunk and seeking attn. She was very responsible for making bad decisions and it cost her life.
@@terrenceolivido741 so true. She brought most of this bad kharma onto herself.
@@jaimhaas5170 she didn't choose to be murder. You have a weird fetish. Since you believe in karma. Bad karma is coming your way.
The monster seems unusually confident and honest on the stand which is why i'm sure his lawyer got him to testify but it's also the sign of a real psychopath, too bad about the overwhelming evidence though
Another sad, insightful and meaningful story from L& C Network.
Partying at that age with all those kids they're responsible for. At some point you have to grow up. Looks like she was somewhere that wasn't at home with her kids. People make themselves victims by making very bad decisions.
Spot on....He 's not too bright by impregging her either.
What got me was when you said “back in 2016”… as if that was a Long time ago. Jeez time flies.
As a law student, a defence team represents the only line of defence for an accused against the entire state - zealous advocacy requires stepping in the shoes of your client and if that is the story the accused gives the attorneys, they are duty bound to defend it or otherwise sever ties.
What i do find unrespectable is how the accused would know any of the salatious arguments between Greg and the deceased. That would only have come after discovery. Which would have been after the lawyer had already been given an explanation.
Thus, if the client is guilty, they tailored the story, either knowignly or were willfully blind to the truth
I love how they do the documents now
What noone is saying is here, what was she doing, going to another bar in the first place? Why did she leave with the murderer. Surely he didn't force her out of the bar with him. When you have little ones at the house, you don't go out partying and drinking til 1 AM. My 2 cents.
Personally, I guess the picture of George Burch was not the picture when he originally started with. He sure doesn’t look to me that he is 38.
I could automatically tell the boyfriend had nothing to do with it from the start
The fact they he instantly volunteered his phone, despite knowing the angry messages from Nicole were on there (even an accusation of him being abusive) suggests to me that Doug still had no idea at that point that she had been murdered.
It clearly indicates a clean conscience as it pertains to Nikki's disappearance. His reaction to first hearing about the body struck me as genuine, as well.
Imagine if Nikki had given Doug that Fitbit as a gift? That would be crazy... it saved his life in any case!
Thank god for fit bits
Amazing presentation
Im so tired of these “detectives” they are just bullies and gas lighters! Do YOUR JOB & FIND REAL EVIDENCE!
