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.
