Yeah, so we're trying to meet up with Larry Bowman.
We've been unable to reach him, so we found his address and we've driven to it, and we're about to walk and knock on the door.
The Bowmans are home and invite us in.
Larry is in his late 70s.
He's wearing blue jeans, a gray shirt, and suspenders.
His wife, Verna, is sitting on an old leather couch watching a black-and-white western.
We sit around a worn wooden kitchen table.
Verna lights up when I ask her about her granddaughter.
Can you tell me about Nikki, what kind of little girl she was?
She hands me a framed photo of Nikki.
Verna's showing me this picture of... Oh, I've never seen a picture of her like this.
It's a professional shot, like you'd take in a mall.
Nikki is wearing a black velvet dress.
A headband sits on her short brown hair.
The day before Nicky ended up in the hospital, Robert Robertson had asked the Bowmans to babysit.
He wanted to be with his girlfriend, Teddy, who was in the hospital recovering from surgery.
But as bedtime rolled around, they asked Robert to pick Nicky up.
