She is an American homicide victim.

What Happened To Brooke Preston?
Brooke Preston died in 2017 as her 21-year-old friend/roommate, Randy Herman Jr., stabbed her to death in their West Palm Beach home.
The attacker had impaled her more than twenty times on the morning of 25 March. Brooke’s childhood friend, in his defense, argued he was sleepwalking during a hangover when the incident happened.
Moreover, his lawyers debated for him to be found not guilty because of insanity.
A 12-person jury found Rady guilty of first-degree murder on 8 May 2019. Circuit Judge John Kastrenakes sentenced him to life imprisonment.
Brooke Preston’s Sister Jordan Speaks Against Hulu Documentary
Brooke Preston’s sister Jordan labels the Hulu documentary as “unwanted” and accuses the streaming services of “exploiting” the family’s pain.
She speaks about the “trauma” she felt after seeing the “unwanted” Hulu documentary, which had her reminiscence about her sibling’s murder. In December 2021, the platform released Dead Asleep against the family’s wishes.
In a series of TikTok Videos, Jordan blasts the network for releasing intimate family footage, which forced them to relieve Brooke’s death. Moreover, she accuses Hulu of portraying then 26-year-old killer Herman in a “positive light” and “feeding into his lies.”
Likewise, she said the documentary tore her apart, and the service provider was tasteless for prolonging the victims’ pain.
And two days ago, Brooke’s sister posted a TikTok video in which she mentioned receiving a call from Delta Airlines stating they were removing the documentary.
Although many people felt sorry for the tragedy, they believe that Jordan’s videos have made them more curious about the subject, increasing the views on the clip.

Brooke Preston was an American citizen who got stabbed to death in March 2017.
She was born to John Edward Preston and Nancy Slabicki on 1 September 1995 in Sayre, Pennsylvania, United States. Besides her parents, her family includes two siblings, Jordan and Jessica Kipp.
Brooke’s childhood friend, Randy, stabbed her multiple times, ultimately killing her. However, he argued a sleepwalking episode caused the incident.
In 2019, the murderer testified that he was on top of her, covered in blood and with a knife in his hand, without his knowledge. After that, he went to a nearby park and called the police.
Though the testimonial of Randy’s mother, Kathi Adams, included her observing several sleepwalking episodes when he was a child, Brooke’s sister, Jordan, who had been living with them for six months, denied it.
Moreover, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Wade C. Myers labeled the killer’s actions too complex for an episode.
