Just after 3 PM on January 13th, 2010 a deputy driving through a gated community in Conyers, Georgia noticed two distraught teenage girls running frantically towards his car.

16-year-old identical twins, Jasmiyah & Tasmiyah Whitehead told the deputy that they had just come home from school and found their mother brutally murdered inside their home.

Upon entering the house, police find signs of a violent struggle. The medical examiner said Nikki's death was a crime of passion; the killer being someone close to her. Little did they know how close.

Join Jen and Cam as they discuss Twin Terrors: The Murder of Nikki Whitehead.
