That’s correct!
After Nikki and I had our big falling over my growing suspicions of Franz...
ALL of Nikki’s family members immediately cut off ALL contact with me, blocked me on Facebook, and those who haven’t blocked me won’t respond to my Facebook messages, my phone calls, or my text messages.
Even to this day, I’ve still never heard from any of them. I was officially black listed.
So yeah... Nikki runs the show!
Maybe it’s just me: Personally, if a member of my own family believed a certain person was responsible for the murder of his/her child, I probably wouldn’t stay in contact with that person.
If I was aware of specific evidence indicating otherwise (i.e., that the said person couldn’t have done it, or someone else, even a family member, was responsible), however, I might still stay in contact with that person, depending on what kind of relationship I had with them prior to the murder. I would also contact LE to share my opinion.
In other words, I would be the one deciding whether or not to stay in touch with the person the family member believed killed his/her child; the family member would have no control over that.
Personally, I haven’t seen anything that gives me the impression that “Nikki runs the show.” For example, if Nikki indeed “jumps in and answers questions for Franz,” maybe it isn’t because “she isn’t comfortable letting him answer,” but that’s just how it has always been for them. My mom is a native English speaker, while my dad isn’t, and my mom often ends up doing most of the talking for him not because she is afraid he is going to say something suspicious or inappropriate, but rather
that’s just what works for them. And they have been married for 46-plus years.
