The Dateline Missing in America story posted above has been featured on the local NBC station. I'm glad it's getting some notice. I wasn't aware of it until recently and I live in the general area.

She was last seen sleeping at her home between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. on November 23rd.

Police have said this case has been frustrating.

"It's super hard for me to believe with Shady Cove being such a small town, that we haven't been able to locate her yet. I think that's one of the frustrating things, is the fact that it's been pretty quiet. We've talked to several people, we've interviewed several people, and nobody seems to really know anything. Like I said, we've had our stories, and we've had our rumors of things people believed happened, but nothing's panned out. We've searched areas with cadaver dogs that we were told she was at. We've searched ponds... I've actually interviewed people multiple times on names that have come up continually during the investigation," said Sgt. Scott Waldon of the Jackson County Sheriff Department.
 
Deputies are asking for the public’s help in finding an Oregon woman who went missing just before Thanksgiving last year.

Malina Nickel, the 30-year-old mother of two, was reported as missing from her hometown of Shady Cove on November 28, 2016.

Family members said they found her Ford Escape abandoned on Nov. 25 near the post office in Trail, a town located just north of Shady Cove.

Someone told the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office that two nights earlier they saw a man walk away from Malina’s vehicle and get a ride to a nearby gas station.

Deputies found Malina’s personal items in her home, and she didn’t tell anyone about plans to leave the area.

According to detectives, Malina was known to use drugs and had an open warrant when family members reported her as missing. At this point, they say they’re more focused on solving her disappearance.

So sad. And repeated all across the country. Too many young children growing up without their missing mothers. :(
 
Southern Oregon mother Malina Nickel vanished the day before Thanksgiving 2016. Malina’s mother, Chareen, knew something was wrong when her daughter didn’t show up as planned for dinner. Malina was last seen at her home in Shady Cove on the night of November 23 by her 18-year-old nephew. At the time of her disappearance, Malina was on probation and had a warrant out for her arrest, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department. Family members insist that the 29-year-old would not leave her children. This remains an open and active case but no persons of interest have been named.

I’m doing a podcast story on Malina Nickel. If anyone would like to talk with me we can do so anonymously. I have investigators in Washington and Oregon working on the story. I would love to Talk to locals

if anyone is interested please contact me
 
Malina's nephew was arrested yesterday for murdering his female roommate. He then took Officers to where he had hidden her body in a very remote area. That same remote area had been previously searched via tip-line info for Malina. There is some insane banter going around on Social Media in the local area currently about this familial connection.
Praying Malina is also found soon and her family can have some closure.
