Nikole Lynn Snover, a 73-year-old White woman from Galena, Maryland, was last confirmed seen on December 2, 2024, after an appointment in or near Galena. The period immediately after that December appointment is unclear to the public, and other reported sightings could not be verified.

Concern about Snover grew quietly for months before a series of welfare-check requests in late May and early June 2025 prompted a public appeal from the Kent County Sheriff’s Office. Family members reportedly had not been in recent contact with her, and at one point investigators received unconfirmed information that she might have been staying with a private caregiver outside the area.

Investigators have said the case transitioned from a missing-person search into a suspected homicide inquiry. Authorities reported that a man who had lived with Snover continued to occupy her home and use her vehicles and bank accounts after her disappearance; detectives asked anyone with information to contact the Kent County Sheriff’s Office. If anyone knew Nikole Snover, her routines, or saw her after December 2, 2024, please come forward with what was observed.
