<div>On the evening of May 17th, 2024, 39-year-old Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain, a beloved mother, daughter and sister, texted her sister saying she was visiting her brother-in-law in a Redding, California, hospital. Just after midnight, she mentioned returning her mother-in-law's car to her house on the Redding Rancheria Reservation. That was the last time anyone heard from her.<br>
<br>
A week later, Nikki's truck was found abandoned in a remote area 40 minutes from her home. Despite extensive searches, Nikki remains missing. It's been more than five months since she disappeared, and investigators are still working to piece together what happened that night.<br>
