Before the trial that divided a nation, there was a woman. Nicole Brown grew up in Southern California with dreams of modeling, a close-knit family, and a future full of possibility…until a chance encounter with football legend O.J. Simpson at a Beverly Hills restaurant changed everything.

In the first of three episodes on the O.J. Simpson case, Katie Ring goes back to the beginning: Nicole's childhood in Long Beach, the whirlwind romance that slowly became something far darker, and the decade and a half of control, infidelity, and abuse that Nicole documented in her own words. From the night police arrived at Rockingham to Nicole finally walking away in 1992, this is the story the trial never fully told.

This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence. Please listen with care.
