King Jay Davila: “A Family Affair” | MURDERISH Ep. 109

In the early winter of 2010, 34-year-old Georgia beautician Jarmecca Whitehead seemed to have everything going for her. Nikki, a nickname used by everyone close to her, had more than one love interest. She was enrolled at Atlanta’s Bauder College to pursue a degree in fashion design. Most importantly, Nikki had recently been given full custody of her 16-year-old twin daughters. After a difficult childhood, Nikki felt like her life was finally coming together. When she was found battered and fatally stabbed inside her own home, it felt like a deeply tragic end to an already difficult life. When investigators dug in, the community was shocked by who they identified as their primary suspect.

For better or worse, love can be the ultimate motivator. It can make people feel invincible, emboldened to chase after their greatest ambitions. On the flipside, love can turn toxic and drive a person to do things they never thought they would. On July 5th 2003, 37-year-old Sandra “Sandee” Rozzo was gunned down in the Pinellas Park home she shared with her boyfriend. Was this a case of love gone wrong? Or something else entirely? As law enforcement began their investigation an entire community was set on edge, fearing they could be next.

On a crisp evening in April 2023, 20-year-old Alexa Bartell was driving to her girlfriend’s house. The two were on the phone together, when suddenly, the call dropped. Alexa’s girlfriend, Jenna Griggs, tried calling Alexa back several times but the call went straight to voicemail. When Jenna opened the Find My Friends app, she saw something alarming. It appeared as though Alexa’s vehicle had veered off the road and into a wildlife refuge, and wasn’t moving. When Jenna reached Alexa’s location, she’d be faced with devastating news. Alexa had been killed. Someone had thrown a large landscaping rock through her windshield, killing the young woman instantly. Who would be so callous, and how would investigators find the person or persons responsible?
