106: MISSING: Niqui McCown

Derrick Levasseur
About this episode
On July 22, 2001, 28-year-old Niqui McCown went to do laundry in Richmond, Indiana, just weeks before her wedding day. After finishing her laundry, she planned to go home and work on wedding invitations, but she never made it back.

The next morning, her fiancé reported her missing. For months there was no trace of her, until November, when her SUV was found abandoned in Dayton, Ohio, with her clean laundry still folded inside. But Niqui was nowhere to be found.

More than twenty years later, Niqui’s disappearance remains unsolved. Her family is still searching, holding onto hope that one day they will finally learn the truth and bring her home.
