Where Is Nikki Catsouras Family Now? Nikki has become an Internet legend. In 2006, she was an 18-year-old college student living with her parents and two sisters in California.

According to ABC News, Nikki Catsouras enjoyed shooting videos with her camera, and unfortunately, it was a camera that would remember Nikki’s life and death as a gory and morbid comedy on the Internet.

Nikki Catsouras’s death photos have suddenly risen to the top of Google’s search results. Wikipedia even has a page dedicated to the gruesome vehicle accident.

In our opinion, search engines are neither excellent nor bad.

The way people use search engines affects whether they are beneficial to society.

So when the Nikki Catsouras story broke today, we weren’t surprised. It’s not the first time MySpace or other social media sites have been caught up in seamy stories.

She borrowed the keys to her father’s Porsche 911 Carrera, a car that goes zero to 60 miles an hour in less than five seconds. She had never driven the Porsche before.

According to state highway patrol reports, at approximately 1:45 p.m. last Halloween, Nikki Catsouras was traveling 100 mph on State Route 241, near Lake Forest, Calif., when she clipped another car and lost control, going across lanes over the median and slamming into a concrete tollbooth. She was killed instantly.

“Her head was more or less cut in two and sort of cleaved and then smashed. It’s nothing that anyone should ever have to see,” said Michael Fertik, the founder of ReputationDefender, a company that helps clients such as the Catsouras family remove items from the Internet. The Catsouras family was told they should never see the photos from the scene of the horrendous accident.

As the Catsouras family was grieving for their daughter, the accident scene photos showing Nikki’s mutilated body suddenly appeared on the Internet.

A fake MySpace page was created, which at first looked like a tribute to Catsouras but also led to the horrific photos.
