Tamara “Nicki” Holbrook Evans disappeared from the Campobello area of Spartanburg County on June 26, 2026. More than five weeks later, she was found deceased, but major questions still remain about what happened between the day she disappeared and the day she was found.In this episode of Troubling Truths, we walk through Nicki’s timeline and sit down with K9 handler Chad Goode, who was directly involved in the search for Nicki. Chad explains what his dog alerted to, how K9 searches work, what those alerts can mean, and what trained search dogs can and cannot tell investigators.We also discuss Nicki’s final known movements, the search efforts, the possibility that she may have been waiting for someone, and the unanswered questions that still surround her disappearance and death.We also want to highlight It’s Nikki and Rumba Foundation, an organization created to help people who want to support families through K9 search efforts. Through donations, the foundation helps provide training for handlers and their dogs, with the long-term goal of also helping place trained dogs with people who want to assist families during searches. Donations help make that training and future K9 support possible.Learn more about Chad, the K9 work, and the foundation here:https://dot.cards/fullarmork9sllcThis episode is about separating verified facts from speculation, hearing firsthand from someone who participated in the search, and continuing to ask the questions surrounding what happened to Nicki Holbrook Evans.
