Marilyn “Niqui” McCown vanished from Richmond, Indiana, on July 22, 2001, just weeks before her wedding. The 28-year-old was last seen on security video at a convenience store near a local laundromat. Months later, the GMC Jimmy she had been driving was found in Dayton, Ohio; her laundry was found folded inside the vehicle. Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz speaks with Niqui’s sister, Michelle McCown-Luster, and Niqui’s daughter, Payton Johnston, about their long search for answers. Josh also speaks with WDTN co-anchor Kelley King, who has followed Niqui’s case for years. Also featured is Richmond Police Department Detective Mike Wright, who continues to investigate Niqui’s disappearance. Niqui was 5’3” and weighed 115 pounds at the time of her disappearance with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink top, biker shorts, and sandals. She would be 53 years old today. Anyone with information about Niqui’s case is asked to call the Richmond Police Department at 765-983-7247.

In Dateline: Missing In America, veteran correspondent Josh Mankiewicz delves into the unsettling and unresolved stories of people who have vanished. This NBC News production turns the microphone toward the families and friends living with an agonizing absence, giving voice to their memories and their relentless search for answers. The cases explored aren't cold files from a vault; they are active puzzles, often brought forward by the podcast's own audience through social media, representing a direct plea for public attention. Each installment is a deep, narrative examination of a single life and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance. You'll hear the nuanced details-the last known moments, the personal habits, the specific clues that investigators are still pursuing. The power of this podcast lies in its collaborative hope: that by sharing these stories widely, a listener might recognize a detail, recall a fragment, and finally provide the missing piece. It’s a sobering but crucial journey into the heart of American true crime, where every piece of information matters and someone, somewhere, might hold the key.
