Red Flags and Warning Signs: The Tragedy...

Michelle Cuervo
About this episode

In this episode, we dive into the deeply unsettling story of Nicola Edgington—a woman with a violent past and a history of severe mental illness who slipped through the cracks of the system. After being released from psychiatric care for a previous killing, Edgington warned authorities she was a danger to others. Her cries for help were ignored—and within hours, she struck again. We break down the timeline, the failures that allowed it to happen, and the haunting questions left behind. How many warnings does it take before tragedy repeats itself?
