Summary

Nikki Saelee-McCain last contacts her family with a text message just after midnight.

She texts with her sister, letting her know that she was driving her mother-in-law’s vehicle back to the McCain home near the Win-River Casino. Later that morning, when Saelee-McCain's family texts her again, she did not respond. It's been more than a month now since anyone has seen or heard from Nikki. Her truck, however, was found abandoned in another county.

Tyler McCain pleaded Not Guilty to a Domestic Violence charge for allegedly beating and torturing his wife for over three hours. When Nikki didn't show up to court for the domestic violence charges against Tyler McCain, Superior Court Judge Daniel Flyn dismissed the domestic violence-related charges.
