Steve, Nikki's demise has been discussed at length in the older deceased forum (yogananda.net).
What was reported there, with many details which I verified via the internet, is that Nikki used to work as a volunteer in a canteen for homeless people. She was approached by this guy and eventually wanted to help him. She took him to her home and treated him like a brother. Eventually, she must have realized his real nature and spoke with her father about sending the dude out of her house. But she went there alone, not with her father. They found her strangled in her apartment and later the police jailed the guy, who had previously served time, while running away in her car with her dog. Sorry if I illustrate such details, but she was also raped, as I recall it.
I believe Annie must not have told the truth to save you the crude details.
Maybe, if you remember Nikki's surname, some details are still retrievable on the internet.
One particular devotee, I remember a black lady who was her friend, was very upset that she was not protected by Yogananda.
This does not make sense. Nikki was married and did not live with her parents. If you verified it on the internet let me know how? And Nikki did not have a dog when we spent time following Amma’s gatherings around these United States, nor did she ever express a desire to have a pet or dog. Furthermore, she was older and in all the time I spent with her she never discussed having parents. Never. She also never expressed any desire to me to serve the homeless. Her spiritual interests in angels and creative efforts at her holiday cards and helping her sister ( with her business) and kids were the mainstream of her life. She also enjoyed her friends and we spend time at the SRF temples and touring with Amma. If you have information to verify these preposterous stories, tell me what state in the United States this happened, because I know where Nikki lived.
Annie used the name Blue Nova at this site and at the old site you played such a role at.
