For months, police searched Indiana for Nikki McAllen's missing car. But her car
00:00:08
wasn't actually in Indiana. You see, after Nikki vanished, detectives went back to the laundromat where she was
00:00:13
last seen. They were interviewing people like regulars over again, but no one saw
00:00:18
anything suspicious. Indiana State Police even put a few helicopters up over Richmond looking for the GMC that
00:00:24
she was driving. They're thinking like, you find the car, then you'll find Nikki. But week after week, they found
00:00:30
nothing because the car wasn't in Indiana. Richmond sits right on the border of Ohio, and Nikki worked in
00:00:36
Dayton. She'd lived there before. But because she was last seen in Indiana, investigators focus almost entirely on
00:00:43
Indiana. And Ohio became a bit of a blind spot. And then more than 3 months later, this sheriff's deputy in Ohio
00:00:50
notices a car with the door just like hanging open at an apartment complex. And it's the GMC that Nikki had been
00:00:56
driving, parked at the Meadows of Katalpa. The lock was damaged, the ignition was tampered with, the stereo
00:01:02
was gone, but something was left in the back seat. Nikki's laundry basket with folded clothes. So, the question is, who
00:01:12
put the car there and when?
