Police Still Searching For Missing Baltimore Woman
Reporting Video
Tim Williams BALTIMORE (WJZ) ― The sudden disappearance of a local woman has Baltimore City investigators baffled. Mia Lynn Nichols has been missing for almost a month. Now her family is again searching for clues.
As Tim Williams reports, the case is hitting dead ends, but your help could make a difference.
Mia Nichols, 37, has been missing since Oct. 28. She last reported to work on that day and left the parking lot about 4:45 p.m. She hasn't been seen since.
"We just thought she got into an argument with her friend and just went out for the night. But when it went on for a couple of days is when we started to get a little suspicious because that's not like her," said Cheryl Nichols, Mia's mother.
"She was a hard-working female, very well liked. Kept in contact with her family each and every day. Has three kids and since the 28th, she has yet to contact anyone," said Detective Mark Hughes.
Mia's boyfriend was questioned but is not considered a suspect in her disappearance. Now there is no evidence. Her family came from their home in New Jersey, hoping to change that.
"That's not in her character to just walk off and just leave her children. Her and her brother, it's just the two of them, like two peas in a pod. No contact with him, her job, nothing. That's not like her," Cheryl said.
"We just need her to be strong, keep her faith and know that we're looking for her," her father, Clarence Nichols, said.
Mia works at Volunteers of America on East Monument Street. She last left work driving her green Acura. The car was later found near her Forest Park home in West Baltimore. There was no indication Mia ever returned to her house and police will not say if her belongings were recovered. They do tell Eyewitness News the case suggests foul play.
"The investigation right now may lead to some sort of suspicious activity going on right now, due to the fact that she hasn't reported to her family. That's not her normal occurrence that she does every day," Hughes said.
Mia has a 19-year-old daughter and two sons, 12 and eight. She has no criminal background. It's all the more reason she had no cause to leave, her family says.
"You're wondering if she's OK, is she alive. You don't want to think the worst. In my heart, I haven't given up on her though, and I'm trusting and believing that they're going to find her alive," Cheryl Nichols said.
If you have information, call police at 410-396-2100.
