Kristy Trepanitis and Nicolas Morelos Had Their Future All Mapped Out
In 2016, ex-Marine and Marana Aerospace Solutions employee Nicolas “Nick” Morelos first locked eyes with the love of his life, Kristina “Kristy” Trepanitis, after going through a divorce and failed relationships with different women, mostly from work. As they got to know each other, they learned that they had similar tastes, which made the foundation of their relationship stronger with time. Their relationship was built on honesty, and they agreed to let go of each other’s past and focus on the future ahead of them. She also shared her love for dogs with him, allowing him to get close to his pitbull named Smokey.
By July of the same year, both were head over heels in love, so they got engaged. At the time, the couple was planning to move in together and spend the rest of their lives together. With so much to look forward to, Kristy was excited for the future. Since the beginning of their loving relationship, Nicolas had a habit of waking her up with “good morning” texts. So, when he failed to text her on the morning of July 18, 2016, she had a reason to become concerned. After not being able to contact him virtually, she decided to visit his Tuscan apartment and check up on him.
Upon arriving at his house, Kristy went to the primary bedroom and was greeted with the horrific site of her fiancé lying dead on the floor with eight gunshot wounds. Wasting no time, she called 911 and informed the authorities about the murder; an investigation ensued. When the police took over the case and questioned her, she was fully cooperative with them and provided all the details that could prove to be vital for solving the murder.
