In this episode of Papi Killed Mommy, Nikki shares a major turning point in her mother Stephanie Wasilishin's case — from national media recognition… to a shift in strategy… to one of the most personal decisions she's made in 33 years. After being told there is no legal path forward without a confession, Nikki opens up about what the last month has actually looked like behind the scenes — the frustration, the burnout, and the moment everything changed. Because this episode marks something important: Momentum. 🎙️ Episode Highlights 📰 A&E Delivers — National Feature Released On April 9, 2026, A&E published a national article on Stephanie Wasilishin's case — bringing long-overdue visibility to a story that has largely gone unheard for decades. 📰 Read the article here: https://www.aetv.com/articles/stephanie-wasilishin This moment represents more than just coverage — it's validation, visibility, and the beginning of something bigger. 🎧 The Last 33 Days — What Changed This episode walks through: Being told the case cannot move forward without a confession The emotional aftermath of that reality Taking a step back — and what that looked like The realization that this case needs bigger media, bigger platforms, and more pressure Why television and national exposure are key to movement in cold cases 🎤 CrimeCon 2026 — Next Steps With CrimeCon approaching, Nikki is preparing to take this story directly to creators, networks, and anyone willing to listen.

But I will ask for my animals. They are my babies — my dogs and my cats — and right now, they're all getting older at the same time. Living in Arizona, the extreme heat makes it really hard to keep them comfortable and safe through the summer. This wishlist includes things like cooling mats, food, and basic items to help them get through the heat — especially for dogs like Jake who struggle the most in the warmer months. I also have my 16-year-old cat, Manny, whose kidneys are starting to go. He has a prescription for kidney care food that I have not been able to fill yet, and that's something I'm really trying to get for him as soon as possible. If you're in a position to help at all — even something small — it truly means more than you know. And if not, just being here and listening is everything. 👉 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/49E74TM4J5D8 📣 If You Have Information If you have any information related to this case — no matter how small — or if you know Russell Bennett Peterson or have ever crossed paths with him, please come forward. 📧 papikilledmommy@gmail.com Sedona Police Department: 📞 (928) 282-3100 Please only reach out if you have legitimate information that could help move this case forward. And then… there's this. For the first time in 33 years… Nikki is no longer waiting. After being told that a confession is the only way forward, she made the decision to stop sitting on the sidelines — and step directly into the space she's been kept out of for decades. A message was sent. To Russell Bennett Peterson. Requesting a conversation. Face to face. On camera. An opportunity to speak. To explain. To tell the truth. The message has been read. There has been no response. Yet. This episode is not the end of anything. It's the beginning of the next phase. And this time… it's personal.
