Mm-hmm.

Now, people describe Darlene and Nikki as friends, but it seems like something was coming between them right before Nikki went missing.

When investigators talk to a fellow employee, she says that Nikki, Darlene and Tommy hung out together, but later tells them that Nikki and Darlene had been fighting before her disappearance and that Nikki even left work upset the Friday before she went missing.

Now, the case report doesn't explicitly say why, though.

It doesn't offer any details about this.

And when they go talk to Darlene, Darlene denies to police that there was any kind of fight.

But what she can't deny, what I never knew until recently, is that it's possible the

actual last confirmed time Nikki was alive wasn't three o'clock when that witness saw her back at the laundromat.

It may actually be later than we thought when Nikki called Darlene.

What?

So let me give you the whole scoop on this call because I think it is so important.

I don't know how police initially become aware of this.

Nikki does not have a cell phone.

She only has a pager, but apparently she had left that pager in her Toyota that day.

There is one note in the case report that this call between her and Darlene is not on the home phone.

So where did she make that call from?

I mean, do you think they're just getting this from Darlene?

Possibly.

I mean, she admits to police in her interviews that Nikki called her and apparently she was saying that she called to ask about these like skin, nail, hair vitamins that Nikki wanted to get before her wedding.

And she says that Nikki was going to pick them up that day before the store closed, maybe from like a CVS.
