In July 2001, Marilyn Renee Nicole “Niqui” McCown was just three weeks away from her dream wedding. A devoted mother and bride-to-be, she left for a routine trip to the laundromat in Richmond, Indiana — and never returned.
Her disappearance would launch a decades-long investigation marked by suspicious behavior, tangled relationships, and a chilling connection to another crime.
In this episode of Unfinished, we retrace Niqui’s final hours, the desperate search by her family, and the lingering questions that have haunted them for more than two decades.
Join me as we explore a case that challenges what we think we know about love, obsession, and the silence that follows when justice remains unfinished.
