You know, it's like, should we run you through it again? We're going to start at the beginning, we're going to read, we'll come to the end. Is this our first video of the hometown?
Georgia Hardstark 1:37
In studio, I mean. Is it? Off Zoom. Take to your camera. I wore something. Is it? Could it be? I wonder. I wore something special. For the occasion. Oh.
George 1:48
Oh. Mimi. It's Mimi's shirt. It's Mimi. It's Mimi and it says bad bitch at the bottom.
Georgia Hardstark 1:56
Bad bitch Mimi. Wait, have you worn that one before? I've worn the cookie one. All right. Do you want to go first? Sure. Hardcore classic hometown. This is called My Dad Was a Detective in the Crimes Against Persons Unit. Classic hometown with family connection. Three minute read. Okay. Hey, gang. I'm a day three listener, but an OG murderino, and I adore you all. Let's jump in. In my hometown of Fort Collins, Colorado, my dad was a detective in the Crimes Against Persons Unit. Murders, kidnapping, assaults, you name it, he responded to it. I could write you a lot of emails. I recently realized I've been professionally interrogated my whole life, but he also let me read old case files in middle school, so there were perks, too. On to the story. Right?

Late at night on September 9th, 1998, the police were called about a domestic dispute involving 23-year-old Nicole Holm and her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was arrested for an outstanding traffic violation. Nicole didn't have a working phone and went knocking on doors at her apartment complex for a phone to contact help to bail her boyfriend out of jail. While doing so, Nicole encountered 25-year-old Tibis Kenep. The two were seen together at a convenience store where Nicole may have gone for help. That evening, Nicole was found brutally attacked, sexually assaulted, stabbed and murdered in her apartment. Like what an insane just series of events. While frantically filling the scene, Kenneth was pulled over by, you guessed it, my dad. Oh, wow.

He had been called for backup as Kenneth was acting suspicious and sweating profusely. There was a gold chain hanging out of his pocket. The police ran Kenneth's ID and took a photo, but because Nicole's body had yet to be found, there was no crime to tie him to or known reason not to let him go. Right. Kenneth fled immediately, and the trail went cold when his car was last found in New Mexico. As a prime suspect, he eventually appeared on an episode of America's Most Wanted. Fast forward nine months. A lady who employed Kenneth at a pizzeria in a tiny town in Livingston, Guatemala, became suspicious of him, possibly because of the notable tattoo that spelled out fear on his knuckles. It was 1999, so though she struggled to find Internet access, when she did, she did verify Kenneth's identity on the FBI website and called the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala.

Wow. Like, what a badass.
Yeah.
Georgia Hardstark 4:28
Although I can't find her name, I consider that woman a hero. According to my dad, Kenneth had hitchhiked there, no air travel or official transportation. That is approximately a 45-hour drive. Oh, wow. And it says, which in 2024 time is still 45 hours. Kenneth was extradited back to Colorado. My dad was the co-lead investigator on the case at the time.
