For Kim Erick, a visit to the Las Vegas Real Bodies exhibit became a deeply personal and haunting experience. After her 23-year-old son, Chris Todd Erick, died suddenly in 2012, she struggled with grief and unanswered questions. In 2018, she believed one displayed figure resembled her late son, though authorities confirmed the body had been plastinated years before his death.
Despite official records, Erick’s conviction never wavered, highlighting the enduring power of a mother’s love and intuition, even in the face of logic and documentation.
