Annie Elise 0:32
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialist League. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. I hope you are ready for a deep dive today, but I also want to give you a little bit of a warning. It's going to be an emotional one. Now, this episode isn't the same format as our normal deep dives. It is definitely going to be a long episode, but we have a very special guest joining us for this episode today. And here's the reason why. Let me backtrack a little bit and let you know why I chose this case that we're talking about today. As you know, I get a lot of case recommendations, case requests, suggestions, all of that, whether it's through our website, through email, DM, comments, whatever it may be. Well, a couple of weeks ago, when I tell you the amount of times that I was tagged in this TikTok video, I'm talking like well into over 1,000 times. My notifications were just going crazy. I'm like, what is going on?
Annie Elise 1:46
So I go to this video that I keep being tagged in.
Fallon Farinacci 1:48
Today marks 31 years since my family and I were held hostage by my mother's stalker and we witnessed him take both of my parents' lives. before he took his own. One of the RCMP constables that was alerted that we were being held hostage accidentally fell back asleep after receiving the initial call. The first 911 call went in at 2.30 in the morning and the RCMP didn't enter our home until after 8.30 in the morning. And by then it was too late. My younger brother and I sat just feet away from both of our parents for several hours before the RCMP finally entered our home.

How did Fallon survive a family massacre?

Fallon Farinacci 2:27
It goes without saying my brothers and I endured a lot of trauma and unfortunately we never received proper post-traumatic care and as a result of this both of my brothers have since taken both of their lives.
Annie Elise 2:41
The moment I saw this, I was immediately moved because not only what this girl had to endure and watching her mother and father die and be killed by a stalker who was also a family friend of sorts. This guy grew up with her father. They were best friends. They were childhood friends. So then to have that level of betrayal on top of it and being a young child and being frightened and then sitting with your deceased parents for hours waiting for the police to show up. The amount of trauma that somebody would endure after that. She has done so much advocacy work. She is so incredibly brave. She was really trying to use her experience to platform better causes and champion other people. So when I saw this video, I was, as I said, immediately moved. I contacted her immediately and basically said, Oh my gosh, your story is so powerful. I am so sorry for what you've had to go through, what your family endured. I would love to talk with you.
Annie Elise 3:37
I would love to give you the opportunity to share your story on my platform. where you hopefully will reach a wider audience where you can affect change where all these goals and things that you want to accomplish can be had. And so we had been talking back and forth for a little bit and she is here now. We flew her out from Canada. She is here with me in Orange County in studio today. And I really want you to hear from this case from her point of view. It would be so easy for me to share it with you. I have researched it and I have all of the details, but it's not as impactful in my opinion, unless you hear it directly from her, from her firsthand experience. So I am very excited because today I have Fallon Farinacci joining me.
