1. Introduction to the Case

In this poignant episode of Anatomy of Murder, hosts Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi and Scott Weinberger revisit a harrowing tragedy from July 2022: the 2009 triple murders of Nikita Hamilton, Davion Bishop, and Faith Bisasor. This case, originally featured in the "Facing Evil" segment, gains new insights as the hosts release updated information, aiming to shed light on the complexities surrounding the victims and the relentless pursuit of justice by Nikita's mother, Camille Hamilton.

2. Camille Hamilton’s Background and Family Life

Camille Hamilton, a central figure in this narrative, shares her journey from a vibrant childhood in Jamaica to a life overshadowed by unimaginable loss. From an early age, Camille aspired to beauty pageants, winning titles such as Miss Oldaber and Miss St. Catherine. Her passion led her to meet her husband, a reggae musician known as Thriller, with whom she traveled extensively. Their life together was filled with excitement and love, especially for their daughter, Nikita ("Nikki").

Camille Hamilton (05:01): "When you love something, it's not stressful. It was fun for me… Nikki just looked like a doll. She don't look real."

Camille’s dedication to her daughter is evident as she recounts the joy and love she felt growing up with Nikki, describing her as "so sweet" and her constant presence a source of warmth.

3. The Attack: August 16, 2009

The tranquility of Camille’s life was shattered on August 16, 2009, during a visit to Faith Bisasor’s home in Miramar, Florida. Faith, a nurse with a 15-year-old son, Davion, and Nikki, who was also 15, were brutally murdered in a meticulously planned home invasion.

Camille Hamilton (13:33): "I saw this man come up to the car, not looking good, not smelling good."

Camille describes the terror of that night, detailing how the attacker demanded money, leading to a violent confrontation where both Nikki and Davion lost their lives. Her vivid recollection underscores the lasting trauma she endures.

Camille Hamilton (13:33): "I have to live with for the rest of my life… This is being painful for me."

4. Immediate Aftermath and Investigation

Despite the horrifying event, the investigation initially struggled to identify the perpetrator. The suspect, who approached Camille and her family without a mask, was described as a black male in his early 20s with gold teeth. DNA evidence from duct tape used during the attack became a crucial, albeit challenging, lead.

Camille Hamilton (30:09): "He's not an ugly person. Dark gold teeth in his mouth."

5. Investigation Details: Suspect Identification and DNA Evidence

Forensic analysis of the duct tape revealed a mixture of DNA profiles, including that of an unknown individual and later identified as Kevin Pratt. Initial DNA matching indicated a 1 in 460,000 likelihood of Pratt being the perpetrator—a significant lead but not yet conclusive under evolving forensic standards.

Scott Weinberger (35:39): "Not an extremely high match to today's standards, which is normally in the billions."

Despite the composite sketch and the proximity of Pratt to the crime scene days before the murders, initial identifications by Camille did not convict him immediately. Multiple lineups and photo arrays were conducted, with Camille eventually identifying Pratt in a live lineup, a breakthrough that brought the investigation closer to resolution.

Camille Hamilton (40:25): "As soon as he came out, I said, it's number four."

6. Arrest and Trial Developments

Kevin Pratt's journey through the legal system was fraught with challenges. After his identification, a plea deal was reached in 2017, sentencing him to ten years in prison—a term widely regarded as insufficient for the severity of his crimes.

Camille Hamilton (51:30): "I am 100% sure it was him."

Camille expressed profound dissatisfaction with the plea deal, feeling that justice remained elusive despite Pratt’s conviction.

7. Plea Deal and Camille’s Quest for Justice

Camille's relentless pursuit of justice highlights the emotional and psychological toll exacted by the crime. Her refusal to accept the plea offer underscores the inadequacies within the legal system to fully address the magnitude of her loss.

Camille Hamilton (52:10): "I don't even want to talk about that. I don't. Because I don't get the justice that I should get."

8. Recent Developments: Pratt’s Re-sentencing in April 2025

Kevin Pratt was released in 2021 after serving his sentence, only to violate probation twice, leading to his re-sentencing in April 2025. These violations included trespassing and threats, culminating in a substantial 69-year prison sentence for being a danger to the community.

Scott Weinberger (55:20): "After hearing from witnesses and extensive review of the records, a Florida court found that the thresholds had been met, that Pratt was a danger to the community, revoked his probation and sentenced him to 69 years in prison."

9. Camille’s Ongoing Pain and Reflections

Camille continues to grapple with her traumatic experiences, both physically and emotionally. Her scars serve as daily reminders of the night her life was irrevocably changed. Despite the legal victories, her quest for personal closure remains unfulfilled.

Camille Hamilton (54:01): "Questioning why this man took everything from me when he took my child life, my friend and arm son and leave me to undergo 16 surgeries."

Her resilience is anchored by her enduring love for Nikki, whose memory she honors daily through personal journals and reflections.

Camille Hamilton (57:45): "Hi, Nikki, this is Mom. Mommy. I miss you all so much… I may not feel in flesh but I think about your happy time when we dance."
