foreign [Music] [Music] what do you think the most striking part of her young personality was to you her
00:00:19
confidence your confidence in who she was she could bring light to any situation
00:00:27
she was just full of beauty she was just like huh I'm unstoppable she stood out cheerful caring down for Adventures she
00:00:46
had hopes and dreams and aspirations for her life that there was a big future ahead for
00:00:51
her I was getting ready to go into work someone texted me called the police think he's gone
00:01:04
in the first week I figured she was just hanging out somewhere lost her phone or
00:01:11
something we start making pliers and putting up pliers I just knew that she was being held
00:01:21
against her will or or worse one of the first clues in this case came from 17 year old Nikki coonhausen
00:01:31
herself when investigators discovered messages on Snapchat a social media platform
00:01:37
about someone she had met that night a man named David bogdanov [Music] all right this is detective David Jensen
00:01:48
with Vancouver Police and I have with me David bogdanov to have your consent to record this conversation
00:01:56
[Music] walked up to her asked her why is she walking alone in the middle of the night
00:02:04
and she said she said she had some big fight with her boyfriend and she's really upset and I'll just try and be a
00:02:11
nice guy you know you're the last person to ever see her after she left with you no one ever saw
00:02:20
her again I don't know what I what I can tell you David is kind David is caring they had
00:02:30
made everyone laugh he was everyone's friend I try to keep my hopes high but after
00:02:41
six months it's a little hard for that when you heard that her remains were found what was your initial reaction
00:02:52
it was devastating investigators say David bogdanov killed 17-year-old Nikki kunhausen
00:03:01
after suspected killer David bogdanov made his first court appearance by the time we got to trial now we had
00:03:07
three different versions of what happened will testify to what happened that night
00:03:18
the whole time always just yelling for her to stop he was lying and he was full of anger she's trying to fight me and
00:03:24
just reaching back and scratching at my face he had no regard for her life at all there's a struggle going on here
00:03:32
trying to gouge my eyes there is a Viper death struggle going his actions and his words show that he
00:03:39
intended to kill Nikki and he intended to kill her because of who she was a transgender young woman
00:03:46
this is a narrative in a story that plays out all the time when trans people go missing they're usually found
00:03:54
deceased [Music] thank you [Music] thank you Lisa Woods will never forget the day her
00:04:49
life changed forever it was June 6 2019 that's when her daughter Nikki coonhausen seemingly vanished Lisa says
00:04:59
they talked daily before work I would call her every day and talk to her before my shift
00:05:05
she stopped answering immediately her mother's intuition kicked in Lisa had a bad feeling
00:05:16
that first day I took her sweatshirt and I made it into a pillowcase and I slept
00:05:22
with her picture and my Bible did you fear that something had happened I knew something had
00:05:27
happened Lisa filed a missing person's report at first friend Ariel Fox wasn't too
00:05:36
concerned lost her phone or something classic Nikki move knew all about Nikki's moves after all
00:05:47
they'd been best friends since childhood she's like the Lively friend that's just
00:05:53
always high energy when I first met Nikki she was still going by Nick she was definitely still Nikki at heart
00:06:03
we lived across the street from each other I want to say third and fourth grain Taylor Watts was a childhood friend as
00:06:11
well she stood out you know she was like cheerful was caring she was just icky becoming Nikki would be something of an
00:06:24
evolution but Lisa says she and her large family always knew very rarely did anybody call her Nicholas Nikki began
00:06:32
life as Nicholas but from a young age Lisa says Nikki had a strong sense of self there's this one picture with some
00:06:40
blonde wig on because the babysitter was a hairdresser and she snuck into her wigs so she always knew who she was yeah
00:06:48
she broke her arm and she had a pink cast her brothers were so mad that I let her get it because I'm like she picked
00:06:54
the color it's her broken arm it was around sixth grade that Nikki made her gender identity public she
00:07:03
decided that she was going to be Nikki all the time not just at home so she started dressing as herself as a woman
00:07:11
young woman as a young woman Lisa says Nikki was widely accepted for who she was especially among a certain In Crowd
00:07:19
the cheerleaders loved the way that she did her makeup and they wanted her to do
00:07:24
their makeup as well and she hoped that passion would one day turn into her dream job she wanted to be
00:07:32
Nicki Minaj's hair and makeup artist so that was her goal like Most teens Nikki loved to Post
00:07:40
online one day she came home and told me Mom I'm Facebook famous especially tributes to her Idol that other Nikki
00:07:51
how important do you think social media was to Nikki it was pretty important because she loves doing selfies she
00:07:58
loves how many likes she got Lisa says Nikki also like fighting for the underdog I was called to the school
00:08:06
on many occasions because she had been suspended for hitting someone but it was always a situation where she was
00:08:12
defending someone else [Music] Nikki's parents had divorced when she was young mother and daughter remained
00:08:18
close as Nikki became a teen let me go get our nails done we would just drive around and go by the water and walk by
00:08:25
the water but in high school things would begin to change Nikki was going to school but she
00:08:34
would make it all the time and she'd be hard to get a hold of sometimes she just
00:08:39
wouldn't wake up she'd missed the bus Lisa says she knew what was wrong Nikki had started abusing drugs she said to me
00:08:47
Mommy I don't think I can do my homework without being high when she was 16. friends say Nikki had started using
00:08:57
methamphetamine that's when I realized I was talking to an addict instead of my daughter Lisa says there were many
00:09:03
attempts to get Nikki into rehab to help her kick drugs for good but nothing seemed to stick
00:09:11
for months Nikki continued to struggle just how dangerous Nikki's addiction was became apparent to Lisa in 2018. I got a
00:09:20
call at work from a detective Lisa was told Nikki had been shot six times Lisa raced to the hospital
00:09:32
expecting the worst but when she arrived she's so excited two of her girlfriends
00:09:40
were there and she had her makeup all the time and she was sitting up laughing and they were doing selfies and
00:09:48
I'm like I thought you said she was shot six times it was a miracle says Lisa none of
00:09:56
Nikki's injuries were life-threatening it missed every major arter internet inner thigh twice in the stomach and her
00:10:04
leg and the back of her calf Lisa says Nikki told her she was shot during a dispute over drugs what do you think it
00:10:11
says about Nikki she was able to survive being shot six times she was a tough cookie yeah
00:10:18
very tough the man responsible for Nikki shooting was never apprehended Lisa hope Nikki's
00:10:27
brush with death would serve as the inspiration for Nikki to turn her life around and did you think okay you know
00:10:34
we're on a different path now I did I mean she knew it was a miracle she knew now a year later Nikki was missing
00:10:44
and Lisa was hoping for another miracle [Music] [Music] the mother of a missing Vancouver
00:11:04
teenager not giving up hope that her child will be found safe in June 2019 Lisa Woods had just one goal finding her
00:11:15
daughter Nikki coonhausen all of Nikki's social media accounts had gone silent we start making pliers I remember there
00:11:24
were Flyers everywhere Clark County prosecutor Kristen Arno you couldn't go to the grocery store without seeing that
00:11:30
flyer news of Nikki's Disappearance in Vancouver Washington started to get more attention she vanished more than two
00:11:37
weeks ago and today was listed on the national Center for missing and exploited children website
00:11:44
police talk to Nikki's roommates and learned the last time they'd seen her was the day she vanished Nikki was
00:11:52
heading out the door to meet a man she'd met just hours before but who was he Clark County prosecutor
00:12:01
Colin Hayes says her social media messages provided investigators with their first clue about who Nikki was
00:12:08
seeing that night we had their Snapchat messages so we know that he picked her up it would have been somewhere 5 a.m
00:12:14
ish or so he doesn't want to pick up the crumbs he was this man 25 year old David
00:12:19
bogdanov who worked at his family-owned construction business their exchanges gave police their first glimpse of a
00:12:28
timeline when he and Nikki met that was the last time she was seen Alive by anyone else so detectives are looking to
00:12:35
talk to him within a couple weeks of Nikki going missing the investigators tried his home they
00:12:42
left cards I think they also tried calling him weren't able to get a hold of him they also sent Snapchat messages
00:12:48
but bogdanov did not reply it seemed he had vanished just like Nikki weeks grew into months without any leads
00:13:01
I just knew that she was being held against her will or worse in late September nearly four months
00:13:10
after Nikki went missing investigators finally heard from David bogdanov he said he had had phone problems and had
00:13:19
just gotten their messages detectives asked him to come in for questioning hoping he could help the investigation
00:13:26
until you talk to him and get the story you don't necessarily know if there might be maybe there was someone else
00:13:31
after that may have seen her so on October 2nd Bogdana voluntarily met with Detective David Jensen of The Vancouver
00:13:38
Police Department David were you aware that this is recording in their recorded interview bogdanov told Jensen he was
00:13:45
out drinking with his brothers on June 6th when he noticed a young woman it was on this Vancouver block around 3 A.M
00:13:53
that David bogdanov claims he first spotted Nikki alone he says he walked over to her to check to see if she was
00:14:00
okay they started talking offered her my jacket because it was really cold outside
00:14:07
bogdanov also offered Nikki a drink I said do you want some vodka because I got some if you want to have a drink
00:14:14
just to relax a little bit and she said sure So I just gave her the bottle kind of tape with her he also gave Nikki his
00:14:22
contact information I did give her my Snapchat name I wanted to just exchanged Snapchat saying she didn't have a phone
00:14:28
with her bogdanov says he and Nikki then parted ways a few hours later Nikki sent him
00:14:37
the address where she was staying with friends bogdanov drove over and picked her up
00:14:42
[Music] he said he was going to help her find her phone because her phone was missing
00:14:46
later that morning bogdanov says he and Nikki found themselves alone in his car kind of just parked there in the
00:14:53
driveway chit chatting a little bit and then she told me that she's not a sheep bogdanov says that's when Nikki revealed
00:15:04
she was transgender I was shocked to find that out and and just uncomfortable and really really Disturbed and I asked
00:15:12
her to please get out of the car because this is just really weird for me she just got out of the car and I took off
00:15:17
he's pretty vague about the details at that point and just says that was the last I saw ever
00:15:22
while he was uncertain about some details of that night Arno says bogdanov was clear on one topic he went out of
00:15:31
his way to make sure that they knew that he found that anyone who was part of the
00:15:35
lgbtqi community that he found them disgusting lgbtqi is an abbreviation to refer to
00:15:42
lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer and intersex people and communities for me it's even disturbing when I'm
00:15:51
around gay person or somebody bi or transsexual or something also I just got disgusted and I asked her to just get
00:15:58
out bogdanov offered up another piece of information though he was never asked I
00:16:05
wish I could help you more but I don't know I'm not a kind of person to I'm not even a violent person you know at all
00:16:13
nothing bug donov's interview ended and he left the police station then on December 7th 2019 six months
00:16:24
after Nikki vanished a man walking on nearby Larch Mountain found something that would change this
00:16:33
case forever nobody goes about their day expecting that they're going to find a body
00:16:46
foreign [Music] Christmas card that morning because I had hoped that she was coming home
00:17:00
it was nearly Christmas 2019 and Lisa Woods was aching for one miraculous gift the safe return of her 17-year-old
00:17:09
daughter Nikki coonhausen she'd been missing for six unbearable months and I prayed and I prayed to bring my baby
00:17:18
home just bring my baby home to me unsettling to link discovery of a human December 7 2019 brought a swarm of local
00:17:30
authorities to thickly wooded Larch Mountain including Detective Joe Swenson from the Clark County Sheriff's Office
00:17:37
this was the trail that we actually entered into the area and there were items found immediately inside the tree
00:17:44
line underneath the dense canopy of trees the remnants of a human life had been scattered by animals down a Steep Ravine
00:17:54
there were a bunch of clothing items found down there specifically like a green jacket some underwear there was a
00:18:00
bandana there were more bones jewelry you also found a phone cord correct what's the significance of that
00:18:09
when we found the the phone charging cord it was tied in a knot but it was in a circle about four inches in diameter
00:18:16
Tangled inside the knotted cord were artificial multi-colored hair extensions so looking at the cord in conjunction
00:18:24
with the hair it seemed pretty obvious that if it were placed around somebody's neck that's how the hair would have
00:18:30
gotten caught up in it after combing the rugged terrain for two days detective suspected someone had been murdered you
00:18:40
know we had a couple of missing persons cases that were kind of on our mind we started talking with more detectives in
00:18:45
other agencies and learning hey this could be Nikki coonhausen and oh come to find out she's been missing for six
00:18:52
months that's when The Vancouver Police began another exhaustive search says Swenson
00:18:59
comparing evidence photos taken on the mountain to Nikki's personal photos found online looking for matches
00:19:12
and actually found a lot of images of her wearing the exact items that we had found up here
00:19:19
and so it was a good confirmation initially to be able to say yeah we're pretty sure this is Nikki
00:19:26
dental records verified the victim's identity it was Nikki coonhausen and it was murder the medical examiner
00:19:36
determined that Nikki had been strangled to death with that cell phone charger cord
00:19:43
sorry for interrupting your commute this morning December 17 2019 Vancouver police detective David Jensen once again
00:19:51
questioned the last known person to see Nikki alive David bogdanov a you said it
00:19:59
you're going to go to your job so I went to work yeah he went to work bogdanov stuck to his story
00:20:05
on the morning of June 6 after Nikki devoled she was transgender he said he was shocked and Disturbed and that's
00:20:14
when you're like I'm obviously I'm not into this and kicked her out of the van Center on her way
00:20:22
bogdanov said he then drove straight to work in nearby Portland Oregon so at the time that we talked I didn't
00:20:30
have the benefit of all of your your phone records okay but but now there's been some additional analysis
00:20:36
stuff so you left your phone left and then went East out past large mountain what happened on that trip
00:20:52
his cell phone record suggested he had never driven to work that morning but actually traveled
00:21:00
in the opposite direction to Larch Mountain Metro took about him trip and then back again
00:21:17
okay all right so you're being arrested today for the murder of Nikki Castle whose remains have been discovered
00:21:26
through a strangled to death okay a few hours later detective David Jensen told Lisa
00:21:43
they had found Nikki and I felt that my knees and start screaming and he came in and held me
00:21:52
until I could gain my composure [Music] after I calmed down Dave told me I want you to know that I arrested David this
00:22:01
morning thank you I wanted to make sure he was charged and behind bars before I came and told you
00:22:14
charges were murder in the second degree and malicious harassment which is now called hate crime in Washington
00:22:20
what were your First Reactions when you heard he had been arrested I mean truthfully I was pretty surprised
00:22:26
clinical social worker Devin Davis Williamson and Lyndon walls are transgender activists they launched the
00:22:33
justice for Nikki task force most of the time in our culture in our country if a
00:22:39
trans person is killed there is not an arrest made we think it's right around 30 percent of trans people who are
00:22:45
murdered have someone arrested and fully prosecuted having someone held accountable I think
00:22:53
only that can start the healing and also bring attention to some of the things that the trans Community is
00:23:03
burdened with part of their burden says Lyndon is living with fear fear of being misunderstood
00:23:13
fear of being attacked a recent UCLA law school study concluded that transgender people are four times
00:23:22
more likely than non-transgender people to become victims of violent crime an explosion of hate the American
00:23:31
Medical Association has called an epidemic of violence [Applause] a transgender woman was found shot and
00:23:41
killed over the weekend [Music] [Applause] there was a vigil for her it was um really overwhelming to see
00:23:56
how much love that the trans Community had come together for my daughter and that's where I met Devin
00:24:04
she helped me find Focus been purpose she told me that she was going to make sure that nobody forgot Nikki's name
00:24:15
and it was going to make a difference with help from her new friends Lisa's Focus slowly shifted from the horror of
00:24:24
facing her daughter's violent death to the hope of finding Justice for her murder
00:24:30
Lisa was so driven to see Justice and to do right for her child and I think that's given Lisa
00:24:42
purpose and drive to stay alive she was a rainbow of light she was so confident in who she was
00:24:53
at a press conference just days after bogdanov's arrest Lisa Woods became an activist
00:25:02
I believe this man I believe he killed her because she was a transgender I believe that with all my heart by August
00:25:08
2021 David bogdanov's Day of Reckoning was fast approaching his murder trial was just two weeks away when prosecutors
00:25:16
learned he had changed his story dramatically you solemnly swear or affirmed and he would take the stand to
00:25:23
tell it himself geez jumping for my gut and all I can think is oh my God I'm gonna get shot right now
00:25:32
[Music] [Music] always there for everyone no matter what Vicky matsuk David bogdanov's niece does
00:25:56
not believe her uncle is capable of the murder he's accused of committing you would always get along with everyone
00:26:04
just days before the trial he reassured his sister Lily I just remember him telling us not to worry
00:26:15
he's ready to just face whatever is coming and Lisa was also ready I just prayed
00:26:27
I prayed for God to have his hands in it regret light is the microphone the courts applied a zoom feed as the trial
00:26:33
got underway in August 2021 each day family and friends rallied around Lisa wearing pink mask to court I
00:26:43
used to have a seat I think sitting in a room with the man that murdered your kid
00:26:48
is hard and possibly hard Now ladies and Gentlemen please give your attention opening statements began
00:26:55
with a bold claim from the defense our client did not strangle Nikki coonhausen causing her death because she's
00:27:03
transgendered Nikki coonhausen is now deceased because Mr bogdanov had to defend himself
00:27:09
against her attacking him and possibly killing him but the prosecution argued that was not the case the defendant
00:27:18
murdered Nikki after finding out she was transgender they insisted Nikki was the victim of a
00:27:25
hate crime the defendant murdered Nikki because his respect for human life was outweighed by his hatred for those who
00:27:31
are gay and those who are transgender the prosecution laid out its case with experts testifying about those Snapchat
00:27:38
exchanges leading up to the murder and cell phone records placing bogdanov's phone at large mountain just hours later
00:27:47
jurors were shown evidence found at the scene including that phone charging cord
00:27:53
the defense called just one witness the defense calls David now bogdanov himself
00:28:03
attorney Aaron McAleer questioned bogdanov about his religious upbringing and his views about
00:28:11
lgbtqi people yeah I was I was taught that uh it is a sin and it's not okay it's not David's lifestyle but if David
00:28:23
comes across anybody whoever it is there's no hate bogdanov told the jury what happened
00:28:31
when he and Nikki were alone in his car and what was Nikki doing at that point she was smoking something out of a pipe
00:28:39
bogdanov said Nikki asked him to join her in the back seat before he did he said he wedged the gun he carried
00:28:48
between the driver's seat and center console I transitioned it to us making out with her touching or anything else
00:28:57
yes okay who was touching who is a little bit of both at first um where was she touching you
00:29:14
heard she started touching me um my private area bogdanov said the sexual encounter
00:29:26
escalated quickly and that's when he realized Nikki was transgender bogdanov's testimony may be disturbing
00:29:36
to some viewers I was in shock I just been deceived I freaked out and I uh push her push her back and
00:29:52
you start freaking out saying you didn't tell me you're a dude and you started yelling at her too
00:29:59
so she's a disgusting disgusting piece of piece of crap he said he told Nikki to get out of his
00:30:08
car and he said she reacted with violence this guy picked up her foot and tried to just kick him with her foot
00:30:15
from passenger side and she just jumps up and goes towards the center console towards my gun I'm thinking you know I
00:30:24
just was deceived by this person and this person's high on meth and all I can think is oh my God I'm gonna get shot
00:30:34
right now the suggestion that Nikki might have gone for the gun kind of defies logic bogdanov said he
00:30:43
tried to restrain Nikki by grabbing her jacket but the material was too slippery to get
00:30:50
a good grip he claims in a desperate attempt to save himself he reached for a cell phone charging cord
00:30:57
I grabbed that cable and put it around her and pull her back like that and hold her hold her from going keep
00:31:05
going forward for the gun bogdanov said he placed the phone cord around Nikki's arms and chest during
00:31:12
their struggle but as he pulled the cord slipped up to her neck the whole time she's trying to fight me
00:31:20
and just reaching back and scratching at my face trying to gouge my eyes so at some point that she stopped struggling
00:31:26
yes the ligature that was used to kill Nikki was a phone cord that was tied to a space of 3.97 inches
00:31:40
which ends up being about like this and if you can imagine the physical sensation of having your throat
00:31:49
constricted to a space this size and then have it triple knotted [Music] after realizing Nikki was dead bogdanov
00:31:58
said he panicked first thing I think is I need to call the police and then I think that
00:32:06
they're not going to believe me you know I've been up all night not sober there's drugs in the car there's a dead
00:32:15
person's in the back seat at that point I thought I need to get rid of the body this was a very humiliating thing that
00:32:26
happened to me just wanted to put this behind me like wishing it was that it never happened bogdanov said that's when
00:32:33
he drove Nikki's body to Larch Mountain hey I pulled her out of the car and it was
00:32:40
that spot by the road the hill just went down really steep I just kind of moisturized pushed her down that
00:32:49
then can you tell the jury why why you left the country bogdanov told the court he left the country just hours after
00:32:58
killing Nikki buying a last minute ticket to Ukraine I was scared an emotional wreck I was thinking
00:33:08
I need to I need to quit my drinking and that I likely would have not have been in this situation if I
00:33:16
hadn't been drinking and just wanted to get away the fact that he had multiple different stories that he had had at
00:33:24
least two opportunities to give this explanation to detectives and hadn't the fact that he'd dumped the body the fact
00:33:30
that he ran from the country all things kind of point to a guilty conscious and not someone who thinks that their
00:33:35
actions are Justified good afternoon both sides made their case one last time during closing arguments
00:33:44
[Music] transgender it's not about fear this case is not about self-defense I want to
00:33:58
start by saying defense attorney Matthew Hoff strongly disagreed Nikki coonhausen
00:34:04
is not here today not because she was transgendered but because Mr bogdanov was put in a life and death situation
00:34:15
learn more about the life and death of Nikki coonhosen at 48hours.com she just loves the camera you know
00:34:36
[Music] it seemed like the camera liked her back Nikki was just Nikki she kind of led the
00:34:43
way I just followed she was very empowered and very steadfast in her identity and I think
00:34:53
very strong probably in a way that Society struggles to handle trial and more than two years after
00:35:08
Nikki coonhausen's death would jurors believe David bogdanov's claim of self-defense
00:35:15
David is not the person that they made him out to be David is kind David is caring or the prosecution's case that he
00:35:24
murdered Nikki after he learned she was transgender she was so strong in her identity and
00:35:30
that's ultimately why she was killed the jury deliberated for more than two days we weren't sure how it was gonna go
00:35:38
there was possibility of a hung jury finally on day three they informed the judge they had reached
00:35:49
a unanimous decision we the jury find the above named defendant guilty of the crime of Murder
00:35:57
in the second degree as charged in count one ready Forum count two we the jury find
00:36:03
the above named defendant guilty of the crime of malicious harassment I hate crime in Washington it's a win
00:36:12
it's a really big one I'm just happy to get Justice for Nikki's family later Lisa would ask the judge to impose
00:36:22
the maximum sentence I wanted to show hanuki it could have been and so many things that were stolen
00:36:35
from us so many Milestones that she'll never get to do and I miss her every day [Music]
00:36:44
before handing down the sentence Judge David Gregerson addressed the court saying he was quote struck by the darker
00:36:51
nature of this crime encounters up old childhood Legends of the boogeyman of trust gone terribly wrong
00:37:00
fighting back tears the judge continued for almost 15 minutes the movement towards something resembling Justice
00:37:08
may be seen as a step in the greater overall movement from Darkness toward light
00:37:16
in this Court's view that can and should be Nikki coonhausen's Legacy bogdanov was sentenced to the maximum 19
00:37:26
and a half years for Nikki's murder with 12 concurrent months for the malicious harassment charge
00:37:36
I think it was appropriate in this case it doesn't necessarily seem like a long amount of time when you think about what
00:37:41
he took from Mickey and Nikki's family after sentencing family friends and supporters gathered outside the
00:37:49
courtroom she was just a baby she was just a teenager he took her life and you know
00:37:58
he got the maximum and that's what he deserves Nikki's story has allowed us to take a
00:38:07
giant leap forward Lisa and Nikki's supporters have tried to find a way for her Legacy to help and protect others
00:38:14
finding a way to memorialize Nikki and Empower other trans teenagers to pursue their dreams I think
00:38:24
is is the next step I want to thank Nikki's family and that happened with the passing of legislation in Washington
00:38:31
state known as Nikki's law I'm happy to sign this bill it's designed to prevent defendants
00:38:39
charged with violent crimes from relying on a victim's gender identity or sexual
00:38:44
orientation the so-called gay or trans Panic defense Nikki's law makes it impossible to use What's called the
00:38:51
trans Panic defense in court where someone says that they were so out of control when they found out that someone
00:38:58
was trans that you essentially aren't culpable for your actions Washington is one of 16 states to pass similar
00:39:06
legislation Nikki's supporters hope her law will inspire even more states to follow suit what's it like to know that
00:39:14
your daughter's legacy there's a law named after her I'm glad it will help other people I want her
00:39:22
Destiny something to someone who may contemplate hurting another transgender person Devin and Lyndon are proud of
00:39:31
what they achieved with the justice for Nikki task force and hope Nikki's story will help the transgender Community My
00:39:37
Hope Is that this work has has created a domino effect and this will hopefully lead to
00:39:47
other trans kids and teens having a different life outcome as Lisa moves forward without Nikki She
00:39:58
carries a special reminder of her daughter a necklace she wears every day I just
00:40:04
got this from my birthday from my son Alex and he made it to put Nikki's ashes in you always have Nikki close to your
00:40:09
heart yes [Music] how do you want Nikki remembered for her loyalty to what she believed in staying
00:40:19
true to who she was staying true to her her family and friends no matter what unconditional love
00:40:32
