Classification: Missing
Date of Birth: September 17, 1955
Age: 20 years old

Details of DisappearanceNickell was last seen walking from her home on Davison Road to a bar at the corner of Davison and Avalon Road in Flint, Michigan on February 2, 1976. She was on the way to a neighborhood bar, The Thrift City, and said she planned to call a friend from the establishment's pay phone once she got there. She has never been heard from again. Nickell's loved ones were not initially alarmed when she did not return home; they assumed she was at her friend's house. When three days passed without contact, however, her younger sister contacted police.
Nickell's father, who was allegedly physically abusive towards his family, is considered a possible suspect in her disappearance. Authorities searched his property with cadaver dogs in 2003, but found no evidence. Nickell's father died in the 1990s and was never charged in his daughter's case; it has not been established that he was involved.
Nickell is a former employee of the Red Ribbon Bar and Town and Country Lanes, both situated in Flint. She has been known to hitchhike between Flint, Whitimore, and Tawas, Michigan. Her case remains unsolved.
