I think I had came across this article and that is what made me want to write this post... The article was about Nikko Jenkins and if you are from Omaha and know the story, then you know that name. Well, you don't have to necessarily be from Omaha to know his name. It was a pretty big story when it came out so you should look that up if you are unsure of who I am talking about. Anyways, I was talking with my husband about how I had his run in with him at my job years ago. I told him about the incident the night it happened, years ago, and I wouldn't call it an "incident" but it was just this weird encounter. I remember him coming up and we had a small, quick little conversation at my job. The crowd was "meh" that night so there wasn't anything exciting going on. I remember meeting him exclusively because he has all of these tattoos on his face and I remember looking at them and thinking how uncomfortable they kind of made me feel but he seemed nice enough so I didn't think much of it. He tipped me $20 and walked away and that was the end of it. It was weeks later when I seen his mugshot on the news and told my husband that that was the man I remembered from my job. He was on the news for having killed 4 people (not all at once, but in a short amount of time). I think he might have actually killed his last victim earlier in the week and I met him that following weekend but I'm not completely sure. I couldn't remember the timeline of what the actual date was when I met him that night so I'm not 100% sure but that had to be the craziest moment of realization for me. I was face to face with a serial killer for a brief moment and who knows what was going through his mind in those few seconds. I don't think he was sizing me up to be his next victim or anything but it's crazy to think that I actually communicated with a murderer so casually.
