E) Unknown Pieces

The photographs taken of the Nikki LaDue January death scene are poor (e.g. looks like an old Polaroid instant camera was used despite it being 2002, context was not included so it is guess work in estimating relationships, size, and distance, a foreign object was visible in some of the shots, etc.).

But, that does not make the scene images useless.
 
Forgive me, I am new to this forum and need to educate myself more on Nikki's case... but can someone tell me for starters whether she was left- or right-handed?

Please click on link below to read, comment an share. Ex-cop SlamDunk does an excellent in depth look at the lack of investigation into this tragic death of young mother.

SD always summarizes the case and then speaks to new and more mysterious questions, never answered by the law enforcement in charge of case.

Additional Oddities

In the previous nine posts on the death of Nikki LaDue January, I have discussed multiple facets of the investigation--including Nikki's behavior the night before her life ended, the crime scene, the 911 call, police response, etc.

Here are three additional aspects of the case.

1) The Bullet

2) Nikki's Car

3) The Condo

Go to the last post by Slam Dunk and read the comments, they're almost as interesting as the post. Nikki and her husband were both right handed.

Wow and thank you.

ETA: No way could the gun have ended up in that position then, in a suicide scenario. It's placed so as to send a message IMO.
 
Was it suicide or a botched police investigation. Over the next few weeks, I will focus on Nikki LaDue January's story by talking with her family, friends and hopefully the Pass Christian police. It's been too long. http://wp.me/p1Xm5Q-s

Continuing with the statements recorded by Pass Christian Police Sgt. W. Davis regarding the death of Nikki LaDue January.

For those who have been reading this series, some of the information is redundant, but I feel it is important to consider what led authorities to label the case a suicide.

All American Girl Lived Life to its Fullest–Nikki LaDue January

I think it’s very important, especially for those who did not know her personally, to have a complete picture of who exactly Nikki LaDue January was. There’s been a lot written about her focusing on her death and what can only be described as a Keystone Kop investigation. We will get to that. I believe Nikki was a victim. But I’d like you to meet Nikki as a person.
 
Clipped for length:

Near the end of 1999, Nikki LaDue found her knight in shining armor. Working on the floor of the Grand Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi, she would occasionally have to deal with an unruly gambler. When that happened, she’d call security. That’s how she met security manager Phil January. But at the same time, she also fighting demons no one could fight. Nikki was addicted to pain pills. She hid this well from her friends and family. Drugs were easy to come by at the Grand. In fact more than once, there were internal investigations that tried to break up an Oxy-ring. People lost their jobs but the drugs continued to flow.

I’ve spoken to one of the first responders to the scene who had some very interesting things to say about the investigation, or rather, lack of investigation. I’ve spoken to Angelia Hursell who babysat Nick on July 28 and was one of the last people to see Nikki alive. She too was shocked when the policeman she spoke to on the scene didn’t seem interested in talking to her. And what she did say, was misheard and misinterpreted and played a role in the quick assumption of suicide. Finally, tomorrow, Saturday, I will speak to Phil January, Nikki’s husband when she died. A lot has been said and written about him and this will be his opportunity to give his side.

So bear with me…more to come hopefully by Saturday night.

Bonnie LaDue Remembers the Months Leading to Nikki’s Death

NOV 20

Bonnie LaDue and daughter Nikki

“There are so many twists and turns to this story. There are so many players, so many side stories going on that the farther you get into it, the more confusing it is.” That’s the frustration Bonnie LaDue has lived with since July 29, 2002 when she learned her 30-year-old daughter Nikki LaDue January was dead.

Nearly 10 Years Later, More Questions than Answers in Nikki LaDue January Death

NOV 19


Posted by holliston2012


Pass Christian, Mississippi is a tiny town on the Gulf coast with a population of just over 6,500 in 2002. On average, the police department has had to deal with about 5 violent crimes a year with 4 of those being assaults. So, with so few major crime scenes, why is it so difficult to get straight and consistent answers on what happened July 29 when a 30-year-old vibrant mother was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head? Nikki LaDue January, the county coroner said, committed suicide. Yet no one who knew her well believes that–not her mother, not her husband, not her friends. The past decade has proved nearly fruitless for Nikki’s mother Bonnie LaDue who has done everything from hiring private investigators to exhuming her daughter’s body for the autopsy Coroner Gary Hargrove deemed unnecessary.

In reading the police reports and even some of the private investigator notes there were references to Angelia Hursell. Angelia babysat for Nikki LaDue January and was a friend of hers. She babysat Nikki’s son Zack Saturday, July 28 and saw Nikki just a few hours before her death. A couple of things to point out right off the bat. The police report said Angelia said Nikki appeared “energetic” when she picked up Zack. That word…energetic was later used by police investigators and the coroner to imply she was on something. In fact, Angelia said Nikki was “apologetic” because she was a little late picking Zack up. One other thing and it’s a big one. What time did Nikki actually leave Angelia’s after picking up Zack? Angelia had said it was about 11:20-11:30 p.m. That raised eyebrows because phone records from Nikki and her husband Phil’s condo indicated someone was using the phone shortly after 11 p.m. Could there have been someone in the condo? Well, we can’t rule that out entirely however when I asked Angelia about the time again, she corrected it. She said Nikki and Zack left shortly before 11 p.m. and could have conceivably been home in time to use the condo phone at 11:07 p.m. It takes about 10 minutes to get there from Angelia’s.
