Polly Klaas’s murder fueled the 90s crime panic. Her sisters fear ‘we’re repeating history’

Jess and Annie Nichol want to undo the harsh criminal laws passed after their sister was abducted: We don't want our pain to be used to punish anyone else'

Annie Nichol was seven years old on 19 March 1994 when she was brought to the White House to talk to Bill Clinton.

With a stuffed dolphin by her side, the girl spoke to the president about her 12-year-old sister, Polly Klaas, who had been abducted five months earlier from the family's home in Petaluma, California, while Annie was sleeping nearby.
