It is Halloween night October 2004 and we are in Bend, Oregon. The evening is in full swing for the young treat or treaters but just getting started for the older ones. It is about 745 when a knock is at the front door of the Hutchings household. It was 21 year old Nicole’s friends asking her to attend a halloween party with them. After telling her mother about the invite, Nicole was out and ready to have some fun. Nicole had a lot of friends and enjoyed hanging out and having a good time. The following morning, Nicole was still not home. When her parents went into her room, they noticed her purse was still in her room. Thinking Nicole probably had a bit too much fun and must have stayed with a friend, her parents were not worried. That all changed as the day turned to night and no one had her from Nicole.

Join Jen and Cam as we discuss “Halloween Horror: Nicole Hutchings” on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast.
