Papi Killed Mommy

“Papi Killed Mommy” is a true crime podcast told from the inside—by the daughter of the woman who was murdered.
In 1993, 10-year-old Nikki was woken by police pulling her from bed. Her mother had been murdered just hours after making plans to leave her abusive boyfriend—the man who fathered Nikki’s little sister. In the back of a squad car, that 3-year-old sister repeated a phrase that would echo through the decades: “Papi killed Mommy.”
Now, more than 30 years later, Nikki is breaking her silence. This podcast dives deep into what happened that night, the red flags that were missed, and the justice system that failed them.
Raw, personal, and investigative—“Papi Killed Mommy” isn’t just about the crime.
It’s about what was never done.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey guys, it's Whitney Today. I want to share with
you the trailer for a podcast called Poppy Killed Mommy.
It is the story of Stephanie Wah Solition told by
her daughter Nikki, who has been fighting tirelessly to get
awareness for her mother's case. See her mom died after
a domestic violence dispute. She was planning to leave and

(00:24):
just under four hours later she was dead. We will
be sharing Stephanie's story next week, but first listen to
this trailer and go subscribe because Poppy Killed Mommy comes
out in just under a month.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Poppy Killed Mommy was the first thing my little sister
said to me after her father murdered our mother. My
mom had gotten off the phone at nine fifty three
pm on July eight, nineteen ninety three, after making plans
to leave him. By one forty am, a nine to
one one call was placed asking for help. Three hours
and forty seven minutes. That's how fast a woman can
go from planning her escape to being gone. Her death

(01:03):
was ruled a homicide. The man who killed her admitted
that he might have shot her. My sister, just three
years old, told police more than a dozen times Poppy
killed Mommy, but the Yavapaie County Attorney said there was
enough evidence to prosecute. Seventy five percent of women murdered
by an intimate partner are killed while they're trying to leave.
My mom became part of that statistic. This is the

(01:26):
story they buried. Listen to Poppy killed Mommy and hear
what they refused to see.
