OCT 31 2006 LAKE FOREST, CA — Nikki Catsouras, 18, crashed her dad’s black Porsche Carerra 911 into a toll booth structure after clipping a Honda Civic on California State Route 241 near the Alton Parkway exit at a speed of over 100 mph. The impact instantly killed Nicole while her father — unable to locate her — was calling 9-1-1 for police assistance in getting the vehicle stopped. Nicole had sped off with the car without permission after an argument with her father over “teenage stuff.” Nikki and her dad argued the day before about Nikki sneaking a cigarette smoke in the house.

The Honda Civic Nikki “clipped” sits on the median of the Foothill Trans Corridor (Route 241) with deployed air bag, destroyed right-rear wheel, destroyed right-rear fender, and a busted out rear window.
Gruesome photos of the accident scene have appeared on the Internet. The photos are apparently investigative photos that were somehow leaked out from the California Highway Patrol office in Orange County. Then cruelty began as anonymous people sent pictures back to Nikki’s family in e-mails. Nikki’s father — in the real estate business — even got an e-mail that masqueraded as a lead from Homegain.com. Inside the e-mail were graphic photos of Nikki’s body — mangled and decapitated. Text said “Dead girl walking” and “Oooh Daddy I’m alive.”
