Our card this week is Jeffrey Dale Nichols, the Six of Diamonds from Utah.

Early one June morning in 2004, Jeffrey Nichols told his girlfriend that he was meeting his ex-wife

in a shopping center parking lot to buy a set of golf clubs. But his ex-wife told police that they

were getting together at a McDonald's for a family

meeting.

No matter which version is true, one thing is for certain.

After the morning of June 8, 2004, Jeff was never seen again.

And not only does his story include an honest-to-god real-life burn book, we also found a clue that had been sitting in plain sight for the past 20 years that just might prove someone is lying.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck.

Thank you. flowers, and this was up early.

Her boyfriend Jeff had asked her to give him a 5 a.m. wake-up call so he could go meet his ex-wife Shelby about a set of golf clubs that she'd gotten a lead on.

She had a client that was needing some extra cash and had a set of golf clubs.

And Jeff was an avid golfer.

And whatever these clubs were, I knew nothing about golf, so I don't know.

But they were this fancy set and they were super expensive, but they were going to sell them to him for $200 or $300.

So I called him.

And he says, Carla, I am so tired. Could you call me back in 15 minutes?

And, you know, just kind of like a snooze onto my alarm clock. I said, sure. Well, I forgot to call him.

So it was half an hour later. I called and I'm like, oh my gosh, Jeff, sorry. I forgot to call you,

hurry, get up and, you know,

you got to get up. So obviously he got up in a panic because I forgot to call him. And that is the

last time I actually spoke to him. Of course, Carla didn't know it would be the last time.
