In 1985, 8-year-old Nicole Morin mysteriously vanished from her apartment building in Toronto. She was set to meet a friend in the lobby to go to the pool but never made it. The friend talked to Nicole on the intercom system and waited for her to come down. After a period of time, she buzzed Nicole's apartment, asking her mother where she was. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the mysterious disappearance of Nicole Morin. The police went to all 400+ units of the building and entered if no one was home in an attempt to find Nicole. They pieced together what few details they could of her day, but no one they talked to had heard or seen anything unusual. It became, at the time, the largest police search in Toronto history.
