    I know everyone hails her as a hero, but something about her rubs me the wrong way. I can’t put my finger on it, from the first interview with her, she just put me off….but she knows far more than she’s saying IMO.

      I know. Just something about her. I don’t really trust her either.

    Au contraire! What a wonderful woman and friend. I can just feel her anxiety again as I read this. She went the extra mile, going to her doctor’s office and meanwhile Chris is getting angry because she’s disturbing him at work and setting off his alarm- “I’m busy and I’m at work” and “Are you still at my house?”. Unreal, just unreal.

    This has nothing to do with the transcripts, but may as well post what I found here. Many have commented that Nickole seems to have morphed into Shan’ann since her murder. Pushing Thrive, getting her nails done like Shan’ann’s. I was scanning through Nickole’s social media and found Another “Shan’ann -ism” Nickole has picked up! Going back a few years in Shan’ann’s Facebook and instagram, Shan’ann had a habit of calling people “Love”. Instead of saying – “Yes Nickole” or “Yes Suzy”, Shan’ann would say “Yes love” to multiple people over the years. Guess who else is calling people “love”?!

    • Shannon

      A mini Shanann. She is also married with 2 kids. Her and Sandi are working together.
      I guess the mourning period is Done.

    I seem to remember that Nicole was desperate to find Sha’nan,, because Sha’nan was going to help Nicole get a car that day?
