On September 21, 2007, a frantic 911 call pulled Denver police into an apartment where a blood-stained paper towel told a darker truth than a mother’s story. Three-year-old Nevaeh Janay Gallegos—barely forming words and full of small, ordinary joys—was gone, and the man left with her that day would become the center of a nightmare.

As investigators followed a trail of secrets, failed protections, and a cover-up that shredded trust, the case revealed a history of abuse, a grandmother’s fight for justice, and the devastating cost of choices made by adults who should have protected a child. The truth unfolded slowly, painfully, until the legal system finally delivered its verdicts.

Join host Robin Bagayoko in this raw, urgent bonus episode of In Time Crime as she reconstructs the timeline, the people, and the heartbreak behind Nevaeh’s death—an unflinching story about loss, accountability, and the community that refused to forget her name.
