As authorities taped off Nicole’s home and searched the surrounding area, community members – some of whom didn’t even know Nicole personally – also pitched in for the effort.
“I’d say it’s very special. I would’ve never really expected that. I guess it’s the hope of the people,” Alisha said.
Unfortunately, there have not been any updates in the search for Nicole. Rather, her husband has been arrested – but on charges unrelated to her case.
This has caused Alisha to be separated from both of her parents and following her father’s arrest in December, she claimed that she didn’t want his case to take anything away from the search for her mom. Instead, she hoped that people would continue sharing Nicole’s missing person poster as opposed to making any comments about her father.
A private Facebook group was also created to spread awareness of Nicole’s case, entitled “Help Find Nicole Baldwin.” The group has approximately 1,000 members.
Still, the exact circumstances surrounding Nicole’s disappearance remain unknown, and Alisha is continuing to search for answers.
Nicole is five foot five, weighs 135 pounds, and has blonde hair and hazel eyes. She also has numerous tattoos, including the names of her children with three hearts on her upper right arm and the phrase, “Live the life you love, love the life you live,” on her back.
Nicole was last seen wearing a pink nightgown and had no shoes on. There is currently a $5,000 reward being offered for information that leads to her location.
If you have any information regarding Nicole’s disappearance or whereabouts, you are urged to contact the Mount Dora Police Department at (352) 735-7130.
