In 2022, Nicki Lenway was thirty-three years old and working as a crime scene investigator with the Minneapolis Police Department. She had a five-year-old son named Callahan with her ex-boyfriend, Tim Amacher. On April 20th, 2022, Nicki was shot multiple times while she was waiting in her car outside of a scheduled visitation between Tim and her son. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the case of Nicki Lenway. One of the gunshots hit Nicki in the neck and, even though she had a cell phone to call 911, she was unable to speak at all. Luckily, a stranger came to her aid. The issues between Nicki and Tim caused Tim to be a suspect from the beginning. There was one problem, though: he was inside visiting with his son when Nicky was shot. This gave him an airtight alibi. You can help support the show through Patreon.
