Police say the disappearance of an Everett woman on Monday is so out of character they are asking for the public's help in finding her.

Meara Lynn Nichols told her husband she was taking the day off from her job at Nintendo to attend a conference at her 16-year-old son's school, Matthew Nichols said. But without any word from her Monday and no sign of her at work Tuesday, Matthew Nichols called the school and learned that no conference was scheduled.

School officials also told Nichols that his wife was not seen at the school Monday.

Police said Meara Nichols, 33, did not have a car and left her purse behind when she went missing.

But she withdrew a fairly large amount of money from her personal account on Monday, her husband said. She hasn't contacted her family or him since then, Matthew Nichols said.

The couple had discussed a trial separation but nothing had been decided, Matthew Nichols said.

Sounds to me like she just ran off.

Please, no random employee kidnapping jokes.

dammit!

 

[RumblingRosco]

This is way less interesting than I expected. The good news is, she's probably totally fine, just wanted to get the hell out of Dodge.

Meara Is Missing!

 

[Ketch]

I've often wondered what I would do if I ever just wanted to disappear.

[Mudkips]

She found new Pikmin.

 

[WillyFive]

Sounds like she literally ran away from her family. Hopefully everything's ok.

 

[test_account]

What is Bowser up to these days?

Seriously though, i hope that she is alright.

 

[Kjellson]

 

[CountAntonius]

She's probably just in another castle.




Hope she turns up well.

Withdrew a large amount of money, eh? Could make for a good episode of Disappeared. Hope she's ok.

Yes, I did read the OP. Deal with it.

BOWSER'S FAULT.

Built up her strength thanks to WiiFit, was able to outrun her life and start anew

Thanks Nintendo!

Terrible thing to happen, but this is not really our problem

A missing person article with no photo. Great work.

I'll just wander around pressing X to Meara.

Obviously she's been leaking Wii U info and is in hiding from the Nintendo Yakuza.

 

[foxdvd]

she is prob dead....

How could there be no jokes in such a thread?

Meara Is Missing!

This should have been the first reply.

 

[Like the hat?]

Sounds to me like she wanted to get away from her husband

Not bad.

Adding to OP.

 

[Anticitizen One]

*looks at pic*

yup looks unstable

 

[Struct09]

I know Meara IRL, so this one hits home. Hope she's found soon.

 

[Emitan]

No, she withdrew a ton of money. Either she's repaying a debt she owes to mobsters or she left her husband because they were already going to get a divorce.

X? What kind of game is that?

 

[CounterSeal]

Wait. So they have a son, and she still allegedly runs away? The son is 16, but still... =/

 

[Rösti]

I feel for you and Meara's family of course. I hope she's not in distress.

I guess I could have said pressing A to Meara, but Luigi's Mansion never quite reached meme status.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

All three companies have an X button! So does PC gaming.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Personal / family issues aside - it's worrying that she'd not even turn up to work. Hope for the sake of not just her, but her family and friends too, that she's alright...

 

[fernoca]

X? What kind of game is that?

Heavy Rain and "press X to Jason".

****

Weird news, hope is nothing bad at least.

 

[Dipswitch]

Sounds like she did a runner with the kid to me. Marital drama 101......nothing to see here.

 

[Diprosalic]

there are way too many jokes to be made. i can't decide.

Wtf, I was thinking about posting this when I read the OP, scrolled to the bottom and saw someone had quoted you!

Ummmm, shake Wii mote to Meara then?

PC has a KEY. Big difference.

Also sad and disturbing story. Hope she's found alive and well.

[shadyspace]

Why are you considered a missing person when you've clearly just taken off? Are you not allowed to do that now?

 

[Übermatik]

She's come to spread info on the Wii U. Brace yourselves, megatons incoming.

 

[BY2K]

Why are you considered a missing person when you've clearly just taken off? Are you not allowed to do that now?

That's technically still a missing person. Took off without a word, took the money, no news since, nobody knows where she is.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

This thread is about to become a mess.

To easy?

I hope she is ok as well. I would rather hear that she ran away then anything negative happen. There are too many stories about horrible situations involving violence.

 

[Amagon]

Looks like a case for Detective Cole Phelps to take

 

[RevolverFox44]

Too many magic mushrooms?

 

[StarCreator]

Why are you considered a missing person when you've clearly just taken off? Are you not allowed to do that now?

We have no way of knowing she just decided to take off. For all we know she could have been the victim of a robber who forced her to withdraw money at gunpoint. Seriously hoping that's not the case though.

 

[LQX]

She'll turn up like Luigi.
