  • UPDATE: The Murders of Marie Varsos and Debbie Sisco

    UPDATE: The Murders of Marie Varsos and Debbie Sisco
    Apr 24 2025

    This week, we revisit the gut-wrenching story of Marie Versos and her mother, Debbie Cisco, whose lives were brutally taken due to domestic violence. Originally covered in October 2023, this update reveals shocking new details and significant changes to the law that aim to prevent future tragedies.

    Despite Marie's desperate attempts to escape abuse, the system failed her—and her death, alongside her mother’s, exposed major flaws in the legal process. But there's a silver lining. Marie’s brother, Alex, has channeled his grief into action, spearheading the Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act. Passed in July 2024, this groundbreaking law mandates GPS monitoring for high-risk offenders—something that could have had a different outcome in this story.

    We dig into the chilling details, the systemic failures, and how Alex is turning pain into purpose with this law that’s already making a difference.

    Resources for those in need of help:

    • National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233)

    • Text "START" to 88788

    • Visit thehotline.org

    This is a story of heartbreak, but also of hope—one that shows real change can come from tragedy.
