Good afternoon, CrimeCon.

Please welcome the co-hosts of Crime Weekly, former police detective and licensed private investigator, Derek Levasseur, and true crime content

creator, Stephanie Harlow.

Thank you. So, this case. So, this case, Stephanie, you want to give him the run up? We have a guest we're going to be bringing out.

If you were here last year, we did Megan Trussell as well. That case. Is Vanessa here by any chance? There's Vanessa. So we like this whole

format of incorporating a story where you can actually meet with the people who are affected by it. Because

for us, that's what Crime Weekly and CrimeCon is all about, right? It's not just about sensationalize and tragedy.

It's about bringing exposure to cases that maybe you're not familiar with

so we can use this robust community to make a difference.

And I think this case reflects that.

So I'm really excited, actually, because I covered this case on my own own YouTube channel and while I was going through it, I really wanted to get Derek's opinion on it because of the police work done.

And after he read through the synopsis and everything, he was like, yeah, this is something that we need to talk about.

Absolutely. So this is the case of

stephanie wassillition this happened in the early morning hours of july 9th 1993 when 32 year old

stephanie was shot in the neck at point blank range inside her home on coffee pot drive in

sada arizona now at that time stephanie's two daughters were in the house, 10-year-old Nikki,

who you're going to meet today. She's not 10 anymore. And three-year-old Christina. The only

other adult present was Stephanie's live-in boyfriend, Russell Peterson. So Russell called 911

at 140 a.m., but there is some evidence that he first called his father. He went on to have several interviews with the police department, the Citadelumet Police Department, and of course gave different varying accounts of what happened that night. At first, he said there was a struggle for the gun.

He said he came home and he and Stephanie were sharing some wine and they were fine and there was no issue.

And then she went into the bedroom and then came out and pointed a gun at him.

And he was like, what are you doing, Stephanie?
