Summary

Marilyn “Niqui” McCown disappeared just a few weeks before her wedding while doing her laundry on a Sunday afternoon. Her family does not believe she would leave on her own. She had her fiancé and the wedding to look forward to, and a daughter she loved very much. Over twenty years later, Niqui remains missing.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the disappearance of Marilyn McCown. She lived in the Richmond, Indiana area, but the case has many ties to our hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Marilyn was apparently being harassed by two men at the laundromat on the day she went missing. Her fiancé and her ex were looked at, but there is also an intriguing suspect who killed at least one woman in Dayton, who may have played a role in McCown's disappearance.
