Who is Della Fraizer and where is she now?

Della Fraizer is a native of Conyers, Georgia, and a former employee of the Coca-Cola company. Fraizer came into prominence in 2010 when her great-grandaughters Jasmiyah Kaneesha and Tasmiyah Janeesha Whitehead were convicted of murdering their mother Nikki Whitehead.

Fraizer always had a complicated relationship with her granddaughter Nikki Whitehead, with problems arising regarding the upbringing of Nikki's identical twins. Nikki was 19 when she had her twins, and the task of raising them primarily fell upon Della Fraizer and her husband. In contrast to Nikki's uncertain lifestyle, Della provided the twins with a stable home environment and proper schooling.

The twins grew up attached to their great-grandmother and despised their mother Nikki, who was inconsistent in their lives and had a controlling nature. However, family relations deteriorated when the twins were forcefully made to live with their mother when they turned 13. Della Fraizer believed that her estranged daughter Lynda, was behind this.

A great deal of animosity followed as the twins moved in with their mother. The daughters grew more antagonistic and resentful of her parenting style. Their mother also did not appreciate the great-grandmother interfering with the twins, therefore Della was not allowed to socialize with them.

According to Frazier, Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah experienced severe emotional anguish in the following years, which led to fights with Nikki.

Della regained custody of the twins for a brief period in 2010, however, this was followed by Nikki gaining custody of them again. In a shocking turn of events, Nikki was found murdered days after she regained their custody. Upon investigation, the police tracked down the murderers to be Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead.

The twins are incarcerated at separate prisons within the Georgia Department of Corrections, with Tasmiyah serving her sentence in Arrendale State Prison and Jasmiyah serving her sentence in Pulaski State Prison. The great-grandmother Della visits the twins on a regular basis and continues to care for them in prison.

It was Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah who initially reported finding their mother unconscious in the bathroom. Nikki, their mother, was mercilessly beaten to death and stabbed multiple times. The police were confused at first since they could not assert any motive for the murderer.

However, further investigation and inconsistent stories from the twins, along with DNA evidence, led to their conviction. The twins were sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2014 after both of them pleaded guilty.

Della Fraizer persistently supported her great-granddaughters during their legal proceedings, refusing to accept that they were responsible for Nikki's death. She continues to support the girls, and remarked about their actions in a conversation with The Rockdale Citizen:

“I can’t see it. Something in my heart don’t believe it.”
