The 17-Year-Old Girl Who Killed Her Own Mom
Nikki said her mother forgave her as she took her last breath.
Jacquiline “Nikki” Reynolds was adopted at 3 months old by Robert and Billie Jean Reynolds, a loving devout Christian couple from Coral Springs, Florida. The Reynolds’ lived in a charming house in an affluent neighborhood and made it a priority to give Nikki everything she asked for.
Nikki achieved high grades in school, participated in extra-curricular activities, and attended church every Sunday. The Reynolds’ were incredibly proud of their well-behaved and obedient daughter, but things changed when she entered her sophomore year of high school.
Suddenly, Nikki was more interested in the opposite sex and less interested in her religious obligations. When Nikki met 16-year-old Carlos Infante in American History class in 1995, nothing else seemed to matter.
Nikki became overtly obsessed with Carlos. Her days were consumed by thoughts of him and every inch of her bedroom was covered in photographs of her new boyfriend. From the minute she woke up to the minute she closed her eyes at night, Nikki lived only for Carlos.
Eventually, Nikki’s grades began to slip and she refused to go to church. Nikki was adamant to spend every waking minute with Carlos instead.
