Nicole Danielle Engle, known as Nikki, was 19 when she vanished from Vancouver, Washington, in early autumn 2001. Family contact ceased on September 2, 2001, though some accounts place her last contact as late as early October. She was a student and worked as a dancer at a local club, and was the mother of a son named Tristan — she had Tristan tattooed on her right ankle.

Descriptions note shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes, pierced ears and facial acne. A troubling detail is the nearly three-month delay before she was reported missing; her mother filed the report on December 25, 2001. The Vancouver Police Department has handled the investigation but there have been no significant public leads.

If anyone knew Nicole’s routines, friends, coworkers, or movements in Vancouver in late summer and autumn 2001, please share information that might help her family and investigators.
