The summer of 2001 was an exciting one for 28 year old Niqui McCown. She spent most of her time putting the final touches on her wedding, which was to be held in August.

On Sunday, July 22, Niqui dropped her fiancé, Bobby Webster, off at a local Richmond, Indiana tuxedo shop for a fitting with his best man. Before they went their separate ways, Niqui and Bobby agreed to meet back at their place at 6:00pm so they could finish addressing wedding invitations.

Next, Niqui went to the laundromat like she did every Sunday. She started her clothes, then went to her parents’ house, which was only a block away. During her short visit, Niqui told her mom Barbara that two men had been harassing her at the laundromat. Barbara thought nothing of her daughter’s story - Niqui was a beautiful woman and men often hit on her. Barbara figured that’s what was happening.

Niqui didn’t stay at her parents’ house long - she had to go back to pick up her clothes, something she was nervous to do because of the harassing men.

Before 3:00pm, Niqui left her parents’ house and went back to the laundromat. Her family has not seen or heard from her since.

Marilyn Renee Nicole "Niqui" McCown was last seen on July 22nd, 2001 in Richmond, Indiana. Niqui is black, 5’2”, with brown eyes and brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, Niqui was 28 years old and 115 pounds. She was last seen wearing a bright pink and purple floral swimsuit top, dark-colored shorts, diamond earrings, and a white gold bracelet. Today, she would be 49 years old.
