  Speaker 1: The city of Conyers, Georgia, was recognized for its tranquility. However,
• 0:05
  on January thirteenth, twenty ten, this calm atmosphere was disrupted
• 0:10
  when Jamecha Niki Whitehead, aged thirty four, was discovered murdered
• 0:15
  in her residence. The horrific finding was made by her
• 0:19
  sixteen year old twin daughters, Jasmiah and Tasmiah Whitehead. One
• 0:24
  of the sisters had rushed outside calling for assistance from
• 0:28
  a sheriff's deputy who was in the vicinity, who was
• 0:31
  Nicki Whitehead. Niki was described as an incredible individual by
• 0:36
  her longtime friend Yaka Harris in an interview with The
• 0:40
  Real Murders of Atlanta. Despite not having a stable background,
• 0:44
  Niki persevered to obtain her license and became a hair stylist.
• 0:50
  To broaden her career prospects, Niki enrolled at Border College
• 0:54
  in Atlanta to pursue a degree in fashion. Her instructor,
• 0:58
  Ronda Anderson, characterized her as extremely enthusiastic and a very
• 1:03
  devoted mother. When the twins biological father learned of Nicki's pregnancy,
• 1:08
  he abandoned her and relocated to Canada. As reported by
• 1:13
  Atlanta Television, journalist Shaunya Chavis in the Real Murders of Atlanta,
• 1:18
  What Happened to Nicki Whitehead. Nicki was discovered deceased in
• 1:23
  a bath tub filled with water, having suffered multiple stab wounds.
• 1:27
  She was clad in a nightgown and was described as
• 1:30
  just covered in blood. According to Greg Carson, a retired
• 1:34
  lieutenant from the Conya's police department, it was horrific. Nicki
• 1:39
  exhibited numerous lacerations on her forearms and hands, along with
• 1:43
  stab wounds to her back and neck, a bite mark
• 1:45
  on her arm, and defensive injuries. The coroner estimated that
• 1:50
  her death occurred between eight am and ten am on
• 1:54
  January thirteenth, twenty ten. Law enforcement officials reported no indications
• 2:00
  of forced entry at the scene. A trail of blood
• 2:03
  indicated that Nicki had been dragged from her bedroom to
• 2:07
  the bathroom. Investigators also discovered a shattered vase and a
• 2:12
  bloodstained couch in the living room. Forensic evidence was gathered
• 2:17
  for DNA testing, and an impression of the bite mark
• 2:20
  was documented. I have encountered many crime scenes with significant bloodshed,
• 2:25
  but this was unlike anything I had ever witnessed, remarked Carson.
• 2:29
  The smell was overwhelming and you could even taste it.
• 2:33
  Twins Jasmiah and Tasmia interviewed by police at the police headquarters.
• 2:38
  The twins recounted the events of the day. They indicated
• 2:42
  that they departed from home at eight a m. And
• 2:45
  proceeded to school, arriving approximately ten minutes after the opening bell.
• 2:50
  Following the conclusion of the school day, they located their mother.
• 2:54
  As they informed the authorities, detectives gathered from the twins
• 2:59
  that Nicky's boyfriend and Robert Head, aged fifty five at
• 3:02
  the time, also resided with them. The girls reported that Head,
• 3:07
  a long distance truck driver, had been present in the
• 3:10
  house the previous day, but was not there at the
• 3:13
  time of their account to the officials. The sisters were
• 3:16
  subsequently placed in the care of their great grandmother while
• 3:20
  investigators made efforts to reach Head. Surveillance video changes course
• 3:25
  of the case, detectives uncovered surveillance footage from a gas
• 3:29
  station located across the street from Nicky's residence, dated January thirteenth.
• 3:35
  Upon reviewing the recording, investigators were taken aback to find
• 3:39
  the twins present at the service station at ten ten am.
• 3:43
  The girls had previously claimed they left home for school
• 3:46
  at eight am. We needed to understand why they were
• 3:50
  being untruthful stated done. During the second round of questioning,
• 3:54
  the twins were interviewed individually. We presented them with the
• 3:58
  inconsistencies in them their accounts, remarked Dunn. The police noted
• 4:03
  a change in the girl's demeanor. They were no longer
• 4:05
  as cooperative and sorrowful as they had been during the
• 4:09
  initial interview. They were becoming increasingly dismissive, observed Nichols. Before
• 4:15
  concluding their questioning of the twins, investigators collected blood samples
• 4:20
  and dental impressions who killed Nicki Whitehead. Forensic analysis confirmed
• 4:26
  that the blood found at the crime scene belonged to
• 4:28
  Nicki and her twin daughters. Evidence indicated that Tasmia had
• 4:34
  bitten Nicki. Four months into the investigation, supported by forensic findings,
• 4:40
  inconsistencies in timelines and journal entries, law enforcement apprehended the
• 4:45
  twins on charges of felony murder and aggravated assault. At
• 4:50
  this juncture, detectives noted a stark contrast in the sister's
• 4:54
  demeanor compared to their initial portrayal as vulnerable victims. In January,
• 5:00
  they exhibited vile behavior, using profanity and making threats. Remarked Carson,
• 5:06
  it was a complete transformation, akin to jeckyal and Hide.
• 5:11
  This revelation was shocking. No one could fathom that, stated Chavis.
• 5:15
  It was entirely unexpected. The girls were offered a plea deal,
• 5:19
  which they accepted. As part of the agreement, they participated
• 5:23
  in a video interview where they recounted the events leading
• 5:27
  to Nicki's murder. In the disturbing footage, the twins recounted
• 5:31
  their altercation with their mother that morning. The sisters received
• 5:35
  thirty years behind bars.
