I'm just wondering in your home, do you have anything in there like photos, pictures of

Alicia, anything like that? I mean you do? Do you have a shrine? I like to explain at least

to, I know it's not right either way what I say from here on out. I like to be honest.

I'm Scott Weinberger, investigative journalist and former deputy sheriff. I'm Anna Sige Nikolasi,

former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of investigation discoveries through conviction.

And this is Anatomy of Murph.

Today's story is going to really highlight just the incredible senselessness of some of these.

They're all awful and they're all tragic. But this one, no matter which way you look at it by the end,

you're just going to keep asking yourself, why?

You know, I'm often asked which are the cases that I've been involved in or I've covered was the most evil or the most shocking.

And there are elements of today's case that for me check those boxes and much more.

Today's story is going to focus on a young woman, Alicia Bromfield. And for her story, I spoke to her mom, Sherry and her stepdad Joe.

You know, Alicia was an easygoing child. She just would always laugh at herself. She never would cry.

Like, oh, I just lost the soccer game, right? She would laugh because she wanted to be a part of the team.

And even if she wasn't the best at it, she just liked being a group of people. She had a lot of friends throughout her whole life.

But she also was super close with her mom. I mean, think about it almost like the Gilmore Girls, if you know that show relationship.

And part of that was because Sherry had Alicia. When she was going from girlhood to womanhood herself, she was a young single mom.

She had Alicia when she was just 20 years old.

I actually gave her a great time and I was in labor for like 17 hours. And then they didn't have epidurals.

Yeah, no epidurals. And I remember the nurse handing me Alicia.

And I just remember us looking at each other, all eyes, mouth, and it was just this incredible soul connection that I had with her.

I can't explain it. And I knew all I had to do was lover. And that everything else would be okay. And it really was.
