The Laundry Room Men: Nikki Macau Vanished.
A young woman loads laundry into a coin machine at a neighborhood wash house, completely ordinary, completely alone. She will never be seen again - and the man who last spoke to her has never been charged. What happened to Nikki Macau?
In this episode, we analyze the disappearance of Nikki Macau from a Richmond, Indiana coin laundry in 2001. We examine the last confirmed sightings, the men whose names surfaced in the investigation, and the unresolved questions that have haunted her family for over two decades.
Case: Nikki Macau Disappearance
Date: July 22, 2001
Location: Richmond Coin Laundry, Southeast Street, Richmond, Indiana
Missing Person: Marilyn "Nikki" Macau
Fiancé: Bobby Webster
- Nikki Macau was a mother, weeks away from her wedding, and had just attended church with her fiancé on the day she vanished.
- Surveillance footage from a nearby Village Pantry captured Nikki getting change, almost certainly for the washing machines, shortly before her disappearance.
- Nikki told her parents that men at the laundry had been bothering her, but she returned to the laundry despite her mother's offer to use their home washer.
- A witness identified Bobby Webster, Nikki's fiancé, speaking with her at the laundry on the day she disappeared, an account not corroborated by other witnesses.
- Nikki never returned to her apartment or picked up her nine-year-old daughter, Payton, after her last confirmed sighting at the laundry around 3 PM.
