Meara Lynn Nichols: Nintendo Employee Reported...

Meara Lynn Nichols was reported missing by her husband, Matthew Nichols, on Tuesday. It's reported that the 33-year-old mother was taking the day off from her job at Nintendo to spend some time with her 16-year-old son. She reportedly told her husband that she was going to attend a conference at the teen's school. However, upon calling the school, it was discovered that no conference was being held that day. He found this out after he realized the woman was missing.

Meara Lynn Nichols left behind her purse and other belongings and does not have a car, so it's unknown how she could've disappeared unless she found a ride. According to sources, Matthew Nichols has taken a polygraph test but he passed it and is not considered a person of interest in his wife's disappearance. There are also no indicators for police to consider foul play. Considering she lied to her husband, according to his statement, it's probably safe to say she went willingly but you could never be too sure. Nonetheless, police are "worried" for her but will not divulge why.

Matthew Nichols has a past of domestic abuse against his missing wife. He's even had a charge of unlawful imprisonment in his past with her, so it's easy to speculate that something horrible could have happened between the two. It would be statistically appropriate, after all. However, police say they have no reason to believe he's involved. What could've happened to Meara Lynn Nichols?

I wasn't going to write on this, but the more and more I read, the more offended I grew. I just wanted to clarify a few things about this post, considering that I know both, Matthew and Meara very well. His statement to the police was obviously truthful, not only because he passed a lie detector test, but because Matthew, is not, by any means, a liar. I would say that any disappearance would result in the police being "worried" for many reasons. As for Matthew's "past" of "domestic violence" and "unlawful imprisonment" against his wife, BOTH of these charges were from ONE occasion that happened about a year ago. I know what happened that night, and both of these charges can result from something as simple as one standing in front of the door, or one holding the other because he/she doesn't want the other to leave (and trust me, Matthew's charge was from one of those two scenarios). Every marriage has it's own issues at some time or another, but he wouldn't hurt her. I understand that it is "statistically appropriate" to assume the worst, but I refuse to let anyone make Matthew out to be some kind of violent monster. As a matter of fact, he is the exact opposite of violent, and he absolutely loves Meara very much. The only horrible things that has happened is the fact that she is missing, and many people, including myself, are very worried about her. I'm not trying to be rude, but Matthew is one of the most caring people I know, and I hate to think about people actually believing that he is capable of doing any harm against his wife. Thanks.
