Hello listeners, I'm your host Amara and this is Black Girl Gone, a true crime podcast.

On this episode of Black Girl Gone, I tell the story of 31-year-old Carrie Harris Wicks,

who was stepped to death in her office at work on June 26, 2008.

For almost two years, Carrie was being harassed by a coworker named Craig Armstrong,

who made unwanted advances at her that included expensive gifts that she rejected.

Despite Carrie making it clear that she wasn't interested in him, Craig couldn't take

no for an answer.

The day she was murdered, Carrie had gone to HR to report that she and a coworker had

found cameras in the woman's bathroom.

When Carrie made that complaint, she had no idea that Craig was responsible for the

cameras.

But a few hours later, Carrie was dead.

This is Carrie's story.

The story of Carrie Harris Wicks murder is one that will resonate with many women who

have faced similar situations.

It's something that's all too familiar, whether it's in a public setting or at work, where

women find themselves having to turn down unwanted advances.

It is true that most rejections are accepted without incident, but there are some instances

in which the response can be dangerous or even fatal.

Unfortunately, there are some people who have a difficult time accepting rejection, and

their anger can quickly escalate to violence.

This can be a frightening situation to be in, as Carrie unfortunately discovered.
