On July 22nd, 2001, Nikki and her fianceé Bobby Webster went to [music] church with plans to wrap up their
00:00:06
wedding invitations together later that day. After the service, Nikki went back to the apartment that she shared with
00:00:12
Bobby. She changed into some casual clothes like a pink top and biker shorts, loaded up Bobby's GMC with dirty
00:00:19
clothes, and then drove to the Richmond Coin Laundry on Southeast Street. Something that had become kind of like a
00:00:25
weekly ritual. Just before 2 p.m., a witness saw Nikki inside the laundromat. Then 15 minutes later, security footage
00:00:33
captured her at the nearby Village Pantry convenience store getting [music] change. I'm assuming for the laundry
00:00:38
machines. >> Now, before she left, she looked totally normal. Things seemed fine. But they
00:00:44
obviously didn't stay that way because just a little while later, we know that Nikki got back in her car and drove this
00:00:51
short distance to her parents house where she told her mom that she felt uncomfortable. some guys at the
00:00:57
laundromat had been bothering her, like wouldn't leave her alone. >> Well, and her mom even offered to finish
00:01:02
the laundry up at her place. Right. >> Right. Because she had a machine at her place, but Nikki didn't. So, she goes
00:01:08
back and according to the Dayton Daily News at about 300 p.m. someone sees her back at the laundromat. But I don't
00:01:15
think they're like whoever's seeing her, the witness, they're like staying there
00:01:18
or have eyes on her for a long time because we just have this like brief confirmation that she's there at 3 and
00:01:24
then that's it. We don't know when she finished or if she left or when she left or if she left alone.
