Police say an Everett woman reported missing in January
has
been found safe in Florida.
Meara Lynn Nichols, wife and mother of three, contacted
her family this week.
Everett police Lt. Robert Goetz said that Nichols, 33,
hasn’t
been saying much about why she took off.
Police say Nichols had closed out her bank account, then
opened a new one with strict orders not to divulge her
financial information. Her Facebook privacy settings were
changed and her wallet was found discarded on the
Interurban
Trail, just blocks from her home and several bus lines.
Nichols’ family said that police told them it’s quite
possible she had left on her own, but they said it’s hard
to believe she would leave without saying goodbye.
Family members printed “Missing” posters, and started a
Facebook page called “Find Meara Nichols-Everett WA.”
