Surviving International Kidnapping and the Murder of her Mother: Meet Delicia Niami Domino Effect of Murder

    • Crimes verdadeiros

The wind was never at the back of Delicia Niami.  She started life in a tough area of East L.A. by a devoted single mom when she (and her brother) were kidnapped by her estranged father and whisked off to Baghdad. She was only four.  With little understanding of the culture and why she was taken, she endured rejection and poverty. Just as abruptly, Delicia was returned a year later.  Without a command of English, she wondered if she would be accepted. She was. Life went on.  But tragedy struck again at age 30 when her mother was murdered in a home invasion by a stranger.  It took years for Delicia to find her footing and she bravely shares her journey with us.
