Douglass Detrie was her boyfriend who was not with her when she disappeared. Two teen boys found a nude body lying on her stomach in the field. Her hair was filled with blood and the body had severe visible bruises. The field was located in the back of the sheriff’s department. Doug had filed a missing person’s report. There is security footage of Nicole leaving that bar and she was alone. Police concluded that it was Nicole’s dead body. She was killed by blunt force trauma and strangulation. Doug was questioned by police and he became a person-of-interest in Nicole’s death. Did he kill Nicole or was it someone else?
