In tonight’s episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace on Merit Street Media, the spotlight turns to a disturbing case involving 29-year-old PhD student Nicole Virzi. Virzi stands accused of a heinous crime: the murder of a six-week-old baby boy, Leon Katz, and the injury of his twin brother.
The incident occurred while Virzi was babysitting Leon at his parents’ apartment in Pittsburgh. Leon suffered multiple skull fractures, leading to Virzi’s arrest on suspicion of murder, child endangerment, and aggravated assault. But the story doesn’t end there. Scratches and bruises were also found on the face, belly, and genitals of Leon’s twin brother, leading to further accusations of abuse.
With Virzi pleading not guilty, the case takes an even darker turn as prosecutors push for the death penalty. Nancy examines the details of the case, exploring the evidence and seeking insight into the tragic events that unfolded.
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace: The Nicole Virzi Case airs Wednesday September 11 at 6/5 PM CT on Merit Street Media.
