In the early hours of March 10th, 2017, police officers enter the home of Valerie McDaniel and Leon Jacob with seemingly unexpected news – cops tell the new couple that Valerie’s ex-husband has just been killed in a robbery gone wrong, but there’s something else they’re hiding. What Leon and Valerie don’t know is that they’ve walked right into a trap—one designed to catch them in their own deadly scheme. Behind it all was the last person they expected: Leon’s ex, Meghan Verikas.

911 Mocks Kidnapped Mom Freezing To Death | The Case of Teri Jendusa-Nicolai

"I can't die – I have to save my girls”

At 11:05 AM, on the 31st of January in 2004, a 911 operator answers the phone to a woman breathing heavily, but not saying anything. Another call comes through, and this time an address is given, but when the police arrive at the scene, they only find an empty handgun case, sweatpants, and a large red stain on the carpet. With time running out, and just a few clues, the police need to catch who did this, and find Teri Jendusa-Nicolai and her 2 daughters before it’s too late.

Teri Jendusa-Nicolai is an advocate for Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, which passed in 2020, giving equal rights to victims of serious crimes. You can read more about Teri’s work here: https://www.equalrightsforwi.com/icymi-victimsdese... https://www.jsonline.com/story/opinion/contributor...
