Two West Virginia women vanished years apart, leaving behind two very different mysteries. One disappeared after being dropped off for an appointment. The other was seen at a grocery store, spoke to someone days later, and then seemingly dropped out of contact. In this episode of Midday Missing, we look at the disappearances of Nancy Lynn Green and Nicole “Nikki” Lockhart. Nancy was 45 when she disappeared from Wheeling, West Virginia, on September 30, 2002, after being dropped off for an appointment she never attended. Nicole was 46 when she was last seen at a Kroger in Moundsville on March 28, 2015, with her final known contact occurring during a telephone conversation on April 2. More than two decades have passed without answers for Nancy’s family, while Nicole has now been missing for more than 11 years. What happened after each woman was last known to be safe?
Two women vanished from Manchester, New Hampshire, just weeks apart in 1980, their homes only blocks from one another. More than 46 years later, Denise Daneault and Laureen Rahn are still missing, and investigators have never established whether their disappearances are connected. Fourteen-year-old Laureen Rahn disappeared from her Merrimack Street apartment during the early morning hours of April 27, 1980, leaving behind her belongings and decades of unanswered questions. On June 8, 1980, 25-year-old mother Denise Daneault disappeared after leaving a private social club in downtown Manchester. In this episode of Midday Missing, we examine what is known about both disappearances, the strange circumstances surrounding Laureen's case, the searches for Denise, and why investigators are still seeking information today.
