It's a brutal truth—abusive partners are the most dangerous when a victim tries to end the relationship. Nicole Sinkule was the kind of person who wanted to save everyone, so meeting a guy who was in and out of rehab for drug addiction wasn't a deterrent for her. She thought she could help him. Until, she couldn't. The night she told her parents she wanted to end things with him was also the night he brutally murdered her in her sleep. Nicole's parents, Claudia and Glenn, join Toxic to talk about their daughter's legacy and why it's so obviously effed up that they now have to spend their golden years making sure their daughter's murderer doesn't get paroled. Consider signing the couple's Change.org petition to keep a dangerous man behind bars because apparently, this is what our justice system has come to.
