Even though Kim swears that she saw Nikki wearing them on the day that she disappeared, like she was wearing them at church.

No, yeah.

He ends up returning her engagement ring on the 27th.

So they're like five days between her disappearing and then him returning it.

And Bobby's at her door only like days after or whatever.

And listen, it was weird to her.

There could be a straightforward explanation here.

I mean, according to Bobby himself in his interview with police, he said that Nikki took her rings off before she would do laundry.

And he said she did that day.

And this seems likely because in the case report that we have, it mentions that Nikki wasn't wearing anything on her left hand from what detectives could tell in the surveillance footage.

But still, Kim couldn't make sense of it.

Because the explanation that Bobby gave her at first didn't match the one that he gave her later.

Like at first he said the rings were too loose.

So she was worried about them like falling off while doing laundry.

But then in 2002, he told her that she'd taken them off because she'd gained weight and they were too tight.

Right.

And Kim also said that when she offered to help search for Nikki, Bobby told her not to bother, that it would be a waste of time.

And what really spooked her...

was when Bobby started saying that Nikki was already dead, talking about her being an angel.

And Kim just could not understand why he would be talking like that, especially when, in her opinion, it was early on enough where there was still every reason to hope that she was going to be coming home.
