The gun, I want the press to look into that gun. When did nick buy it? Did Heidi's family know it was in her home???

New story in Pioneer Press. I hope this rejuvenates the energy around finding her killer!

So glad that the PiPress published this story. I hope it puts some pressure on LE to do something! St. Paul Police need to step up and close this case!

What hurts this case is that Heidi called 911 saying there was a break-in. I think that Nicholas probably told his wife... did you hear that? Call 911 someone is breaking in! I think she was the obedient wife and did what he said. Usually 911 makes people stay on the line but she went downstairs with Nicholas who had the shotgun.

Also the recent crime in the area helps his case. The eviction due the day of the murders (that seems Heidi knew nothing about) hurts his case. A woman getting evicted will pack up her things and Heidi didn't have anything packed.

IMO I think he did it; no accident, no robbery. Proving it is the really hard part unless he talks.

I wish we could hear the tape of her 911 call. I have thought the same as you collette, that he could have set this whole thing up by staging a break in and rousing her to call.

SO happy for this new article and the participation from Heidi's family! I can't imagine what they are going through.

Another news article and video clip about the anniversary of Heidi's death. I hope I imbedded the link correctly. I am not the most computer savvy person.

Bump! Still holding out hope for justice for Heidi.

 

[kittycat3]

Bump! Thinking of Heidi and her family.

Looks like Nick Firkus has 3 kids now. It’s like he won a whole brand new life.

This case should definitely be looked into again. I can't believe forensics wouldn't have been able to contradict the husband's story with the location of any bullet casings, fingerprints, history of the purchase of the gun, purchase of insurance policies, etc. If I lived in St. Paul, I would hound my police department over this to solve it.

 

[kittycat3]

Agree 100%!!!

BUMP FOR HEIDI

Ugh. Still nothing and it looks like a certain party has moved on and gotten remarried recently.

( according to this link: A Bug and a Bear: Rachel + Nick )

:banghead:

Thank you for sharing... Even though reading that load of BS made me nauseous. This guy is on my "radar" - not in a good way!

 

[Stina]

Bumping for Heidi.

 

[kittycat3]

Hi Stina! I’m here with ya, sending out good vibes for heidi!

I was at Heidi's funeral. A couple of things that continue to bother me...

Nick got up to speak. He hobbled up on stage like he had a very serious leg injury. At that time, I don't believe the general public (myself included) knew it was a "flesh wound". After learning that fact, it sure seems like he was exaggerating the injury.

Also, I've never heard a full (large) church so quiet. It was incredibly eerie. He stood in silence for what seemed like an eternity. I thought for sure he was about to crack and admit he had done it.

Then he marries one of Heidi's friends? Seriously!?

Also, I've heard that he hasn't spoken to anyone in Heidi's family since the day of the murder.

Nick, if you're reading this, do the right thing and tell the truth. If not, I hope this haunts you for the rest of your life.

I had never heard his new wife was one of Heidis friends. Ugh that is strange.

I wish Nick would tell the truth too. Funny how he has strangely not spoken out about finding her “real” killer, right, not since he lawyered up.

Could you imagine, a stranger kills your wife in your home. Even if you did find love again, would you ever shut up about it or stop looking for the perpetrator??!??!! Id be on the news every anniversary and more often if I could ....

Heidi and her family deserve the truth.

 

[HeyThereItsMe]

Nicholas Firkus is recently divorced from his second wife, Rachel. It's public information at the site, http://pa.courts.state.mn.us/default.aspx, under Civil, Family & Probate cases...

Verrrrry interesting!

True Crime Garage is covering this case....
So horrible.
A 6'2" intruder that he struggled with and Heidi was "accidentally shot"... riiight.
Imo.
