Christi Jo Nichols, 22 and a mother of two, disappeared from Gothenburg, Nebraska, on December 10, 1987. That night she and her husband, Mark Nichols, left the children with a babysitter to go to a local bar. Mark said they returned home and argued until about 2:00 a.m., then he went to bed; Christi was not seen again.

Investigators later found trace amounts of Christi’s blood inside the couple’s home and in the trunk of Mark’s car. Her suitcase and purse turned up at a nearby rest stop in 1988. Christi had met with a divorce attorney two days before she vanished and had reported abuse by her husband, facts that reinforced concerns her disappearance was not voluntary. The case is classified as a homicide and remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew Christi, the Nichols family, or who has information about the night of December 10, 1987, is asked to come forward with what they remember.
