It's been six years since Linda Preka Thom lost her son, but the haunting memories of his death on Snapchat still keep her up at night. The tragic event unfolded as her son, Denis Preka, was poisoned by friends who tricked him with a lethal drug known as "Molly." Despite years of fighting for justice, no one has been held accountable for her son's death.
Thom's relentless pursuit for justice led her to file a complaint against prosecutors, alleging ethical and legal missteps in handling the case. With renewed hope in the Michigan Attorney General's Office, Thom is optimistic about the possibility of criminal charges being brought against those involved in her son's tragic death.
The road to justice has been full of challenges, with conflicting evidence and unreliable witnesses complicating the case. Despite setbacks, Thom remains determined to seek accountability for her son's death, driven by the memory of the haunting video that serves as a constant reminder of her loss.
For Thom, finding justice is not just a pursuit of closure, but a tribute to her son's memory and a fight against the injustice that led to his tragic demise.
