132. Lost in Fayetteville: HOMICIDE

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss the case of Kelli Bordeaux.

Kelli Bordeaux had only been in Fayetteville a short time when everything in her life seemed to sit on a fault line. She was separated from her husband after a long stretch of problems neither of them could untangle, and though he didn’t know it, Kelli had fallen for someone else — a man named Justin, who felt like the first real spark of hope she’d had in a while.

Still settling into her new routine, Kelli was trying to find her footing — new city, new job, new version of herself. One weekend, looking for something to break the loneliness of starting over, she agreed to go out with a guy she’d recently met, someone named Nick. Not a close friend, not someone she knew well — just a familiar face in a place where she didn’t have many.

But that simple decision — a casual night out, a ride, a plan to unwind — would become the last confirmed moment anyone saw her.
