Summary

What would you do if you saw someone shoot a stranger in broad daylight? Longtime correspondent Erin Moriarty and host Anne-Marie Green discuss the case of the crime scene investigator, Nicki Lenway, who found herself in the center of her own attempted murder plot. Erin and Anne-Marie talk about Colleen Larson, the young woman who pulled the trigger, and Tim Amacher, the taekwondo instructor in the middle of it all. Erin shares what it was like to see Nicki reunite with the woman she believes saved her life, and recounts Nicki and her new husband Donovan’s not so average “meet cute” on the scene of another crime.

I'm Ann Marie Green, welcome to 48 hours post-mortem. I'm joined today by long-time correspondent Aaron

0:46.1

Moriarty to discuss her latest episode. Who wanted Nicky Ledway dead? Hi Aaron, thank you so much

0:52.6

for joining us again. Oh, I wanted to be here. This is a particularly great case and there are

0:58.2

always things that we can include in the hours so we can talk about it here. Well, I always have

1:03.0

questions. What about this case stood out to you? What drew you to it? Well, first thing, we have a

1:08.6

33 year old victim and she survives. I mean, we don't have that very often in at 48 hours,

1:16.2

but in many ways she was an unusual victim. She was actually a member of the Minneapolis police

to work? I mean, there were so many possibilities. Oh, and you know, the legal issues were great. So

that's what made this show special. Yeah, you don't often get an opportunity, quite frankly,

1:46.5

to talk to the victim. I mean, she survived this, which is remarkable. I want to get to, you know,

1:52.0

who investigators initially thought was behind this, but first I want to play a quick recap of the

1:56.6

episode. On April 20th, 2022, Emily Clancy was driving home from dinner with friends when something

2:04.8

across the street caught her attention. I saw a person run up to another person and then I heard

2:11.8

two bangs and that other person collapsed. Emily sped through the intersection and pulled up next to

the victim. I opened the door. I said, are you okay? And she said, no, I've been shot.
