WANTED BY DOC IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY —
A grandmother in Granite Falls wakes up to an intruder looming at the foot of her bed. He’s armed with a knife and demanding jewelry, money and gold — the beginning to a night of terror at the hands of convicted felon, Cody Chapin.

The victim’s two-year-old grandaughter was also in the home. Chapin lied that he’d tied her up. Her grandma believed him — just like she believed Chapin was going to kill her right in front of her granddaughter — either with the knife he showed, or the gun he threatened to have.

Chapin chased her down a hallway before leaving the house and getting caught by a K9 unit.

All Chapin got away with in the home invasion was $20 from the victim’s purse and nine silver coins she had on a shelf.

He was convicted of first degree robbery and now he’s breaking probation on it in Snohomish County.

Department of Corrections officers say he was working construction before he stopped checking in like he’s ordered to do.

He’s a known meth and heroin user whose also been busted for multiple thefts.

He’s 28 years old, 5’7” and weighs 148 pounds.

He’s got a tattoo across his stomach and stars inked on his upper chest.

WANTED IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY —
Fugitive, David Hablewitz — a.k.a. ‘Gravy’ — is a convicted felon who knows how to change his look.

He’s wanted in Snohomish County, where he’s charged with first and second degree identity theft along with trafficking in stolen property.

The victim in the case says she feels betrayed and angry — and hopes you will help Snohomish County Sheriff’s deputies lock him up. “He’s a predator, he’s an opportunist and what he does is premeditated.” We’re hiding the victim’s identity for her safety after Snohomish County Sheriff’s deputies say she was victimized by Hablewitz.

“I filed for a protection order shortly after I discovered the crimes.” She says they were in a relationship for about a year. When it was over, she learned he had started stealing from her within weeks of their first date. “I am not his first and I am not going to be his last.”

After they broke up, she discovered two accounts opened in her name including one credit card with a $12,000 balance. “What he explained to me was that he was going to prison anyway so he might as well have made it a good one,” she said.

"Transactions occurred in Snohomish, King and Pierce County,” said Courtney O’Keefe with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Officers think he could be hiding in Tacoma.

Hablewitz has a long criminal history in King and Pierce county that includes burglary, vehicular assault, eluding police and unlawful imprisonment. He is most likely driving the green Caravan pictured below with Washington state license plates AQN3398 -- and may even be living in it.

"We do want him off the streets. He didn't show up for his arraignment in September. He has two warrants for Identity Theft, one for stolen property and also a DOC felony warrant,” said O’Keefe.

Fortunately, the victim was able to repair her credit with help from Victim Support Services in Everett. "I wasn't able to sleep and there are only so many hours in a day and they were able to review my credit reports with me.”

She believes Hablewitz is a public threat. "I want him caught very badly, not only for what he had done to me but I am absolutely sure there has got to be other victims out there. I feel that you have stabbed me a million times, but you have not killed me yet.

David Hablewitz is 55 years old, 6’3” and weighs 190 pounds.

He has bad teeth, tattoos on both shoulders and a small scar next to his nose on his lower right cheek.

He's known to work ‘fix-it’ type jobs, so beware of your paperwork and belongings if he's done work around your home.

He could be in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood, Green Lake, or in the Tacoma or Spanaway areas of Pierce County.

If you know where to find him, use the P3 Tips app on your phone, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477). It's anonymous and a cash reward is yours if the information you give helps lead to his arrest.

LAKEWOOD, Wash. - A shooting early Sunday morning at a nightclub in Lakewood left one person dead and three others injured.

Emotionally distraught, Natosha Jackson says she was bartending at the New World Lounge when her boyfriend, 28-year-old Terrence King came to pick her up like he does every weekend.

“I just can’t believe it, it was literally a nightmare,” says Jackson between sobs describing the chaotic night. “He comes about the last 30 minutes before the club closed,” she said.

Jackson says around 1:30 in the morning Sunday, as King arrived at the club, a fight broke out near the entrance.

“When the fight broke out there was so many gunshots and everyone just ran and when I turned around. Terrence was the one laying on the floor and I rushed over to him and he looked lifeless already,” said Jackson.

Police say more than 20 shots were fired in and outside of the building.

Three other people were shot and taken to the hospital. They are expected to recover from their injuries.

For Jackson, she says she’s living a nightmare now that her boyfriend and the father to their three children is gone.

“He was an amazing father he lived for his kids, that was his life. He lived for his kids, he was all about his family,” said Jackson.

Surveillance video from a nearby business captured three of the shooters running from the scene.

Investigators spent all day at the club combing through evidence and are still actively shooting for the suspects. Witnesses described the suspects to police as three black men in their 20s or 30s. Police say they fled in a vehicle after the shooting.

“I just want justice for him. We have a beautiful family and they just took it all from me,” said Jackson.

Detectives in the Bias Crimes Unit are investigating the incident after the victims told police the suspect threw his phone to the ground in anger and shouted “What are you looking at?

One of the victims took a cell phone video of the suspect who  could be heard threatening to kill him.

Police say when they exited the store, the suspect punched and kicked three of them. “He obviously is mad about whatever, but the fact is this guy is taking it out on innocent victims.

CAPTURED — King County Sheriff’s deputies say the suspect wanted in two ‘smash and grab’ liquor burglaries in September at the same Bartell’s store in Burien is in custody.   Prosecutors have charged 18-year-old Terrance Lombard with Robbery in the first degree and Burglary in the second degree.

Detectives say he was arrested on October 13, 2018 after violently assaulting a store employee at Trader Joe’s.   According to court documents, Lombard entered the store, pinned the woman against a pallet of pumpkins and started beating her in the head with his fists before loading up his backpack with bottles of liquor.   The employee was able to run out the front door of the store to yell for help from employees who were just arriving in the parking lot.

Another employee chased Lombard but backed off when he says Lombard threatened him with a knife saying ‘I warned you’.   The employee flagged down a Burien Police patrol officer who happened to be driving by.  The officer chased Lombard and ordered him at gunpoint to drop the knife.  He complied and was taken into custody.  Officers found the stolen liquor in his backpack.

According to court documents, Lombard admitted to entering the Trader Joe’s with the intent of stealing some items.  He claimed he was attacked by a woman and fought back.

Investigators say Lombard is also a suspect in a burglary at the same Trader Joe’s on September 18, 2018 in which liquor was stolen.  In all of the cases, deputies say he used a bag of rocks to shatter the bottom pane of glass on a front sliding entry door.

His criminal history includes convictions for Burglary 2, Robbery 2 and Malicious Mischief 2.

Lombard is being held at the Regional Justice Center on $50,000 bail.  He is scheduled to be formally arraigned on October 29, 2018.

WANTED IN KING COUNTY —
A ‘smash and grab’ burglar busts into a Bartell’s in Burien with a bag of rocks. He boosted dozens of bottles of booze: Mostly Hennessy, but some Crown Royal as well.

King County Sheriff’s detectives need to know his name.

They say all in all, he’s stolen more than $2,000 of liquor — hitting the same store twice — 10 days apart, while it’s closed and no one’s around.

His first burglary on September 20th didn’t start off like he planned. “It appears he left his bag of tricks, his hard objects at the front, so he ran to the back and realized he had to break into the second display case and he didn’t have his rocks, so he had to run all the way back to the front of the store again, all the way to the back of the store a second time, this time he had his bag of rocks and he was able to break open the cabinet where the hard alcohol was kept and then you can see him loading all the liquor bottles into his backpack,” described King County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ryan Abbott. “The second incident happened 10 days later on the 30th of September. Same thing. This time he had a red bag, or a red shirt. Looks like he brought more rocks with him this time. The first time he really struggled to break that front window and this time he didn’t. He smashed the window and it broke completely this time on the first hit. He hit it a second time just to kind of help and then he went right in, again, ran to the back of the store, knew exactly what he was looking for, loaded up all the hard alcohol items and he was in and out within just over a minute this time. We want this guy. We want to get him off the street and he’s already hit the same store twice, so if he’s hitting Bartell’s and he’s hitting the same store twice, there’s a good possibility he’s going to hit other stores in the downtown Burien area that he’s already figured out what he’s after and he’s going to move to the next store, next week and work on doing the same thing.”

If you recognize anything about this destructive booze bandit, or maybe heard someone bragging about busting into a Bartell's in Burien and now had a bunch of bottles of Hennessey and Crown Royal, use the P3 Tips App to submit the information to Crime Stoppers, or call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

CAPTURED — DOC officers say Jaszamare Blake was arrested on Thursday, October 18 in Auburn.  An Auburn PD officer ran the plates on a vehicle in an apartment complex and discovered it was reported stolen in Spokane.   Blake was arrested following a traffic stop.   He was booked into the Regional Justice Center where he is being held without bail.

WANTED BY DOC IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY —
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month — putting a spotlight on the fight against convicted woman abuser’s like Jaszamare Blake — a man convicted of beating his girlfriend while babysitting his sister’s kids.

The violence he made the children witness in a motel room is horrible: Pushing the victim to floor several times, choking her nearly unconscious. When she was able to get away long enough to lock herself in the bathroom, Blake threatened her from the other side of the door while pouring coffee through the door jamb. She came out to call 911 — and the horror happened again — still with the two young children watching it all. The victim escaped into the bathroom again. This time Blake took off with the kids — and the victims ID and credit cards.

He was convicted of assault in 2015 for it and is now breaking probation on it Snohomish County. He’s also wanted in King County for an auto theft charge that’s also a domestic violence crime, since the vehicle belonged to an ex-girlfriend — a perfect example of how Blake’s Department of Corrections Officer says he’s known to ‘date women and take advantage of them.’

His rap sheet shows several assaults, protection order violations, drugs, hit and run, lying to police and possession of a dangerous weapon.

He’s 33 years old, 6’1”, weighs 167 pounds and is known to hangout in the Kent and Auburn areas of King County.

SEATTLE  —  This story really highlights the importance of watchful neighbors and how it could help catch a woman accused of robbing a parent at knife-point outside a hospital in Seattle.

It all started when a man from Arlington trusted his gut, and in doing so, interrupted two burglars ransacking his neighbor’s garage.

Ryan Maddy says he saw two women inside his neighbor’s garage late Monday night, carrying handfuls of tools to a truck parked on the street.

He confronted both women who claimed they’d purchased the tools from his neighbor.

“I knew something was going on, you know if something is not right,” says Maddy.

He says he knew the two women were lying because his neighbor is away and he's watching the house for her.

He says he confiscated the tools from the two women and called 911.

The City of Arlington says Snohomish County Sheriff's deputies tracked down one suspect, but officials say Paige Nicholls, ran away before deputies arrived.

It turns out Nicholls is wanted in two different counties.

Seattle Police say they've been trying to track her down after a bizarre robbery back in September where she smashed out the passenger side window of a car parked outside Seattle Children's hospital.

Investigators say she got inside and waited.

The owner returned and confronted Nicholls, who jumped out of the car and punched the victim.

Investigators say Nicholls then pulled a knife on her and held it to the victim’s throat. When a witness came along, detectives say Nicholls threw twenty dollars at the victim and apologized before running off.

Police say Paige Nicholls stays somewhere in the Arlington - Marysville area.

She's 26 years old, 5’5 and weighs 130 pounds with blonde hair and hazel eyes.

SEATTLE -- Police are asking for the public’s help to find a woman accused of robbing the mother of a sick child outside Seattle Children's Hospital.

Detectives say on September 12th, Paige Nicholls smashed out the right rear wing passenger side window of the victim’s car. When the victim came to get something for her 11-year-old son being treated for a brain disease, detectives say she found Nicholls sitting in the backseat.

“The female notices the victim gets out and immediately takes a swing at her and hits her in the face. Then, the suspect pulls out a knife, puts it towards the victim's neck and says some curse words at her and then the victim starts screaming. A witness comes up and notices the suspect. Suspect looks at the witness and takes a $20 bill, throws it at the victim, says 'Hey, I'm sorry and she takes off running," detectives said.

Nicholls already has an arrest warrant in Marysville for car prowling and now King County prosecutors are filing charges for robbery.

Washington's Most Wanted host David Rose said he gave Nicholls several chances to do the right thing, but she has not turned herself in.

Rose said he spoke with Nicholls last Thursday.

"The first time I called, she hung up on me. When I called back, she said it was a bad reception. I encouraged her to surrender. She wanted to know how much her bail was going to be. I didn’t have an answer for her. She later texted me and asked what she needed to do," Rose said.

Nicholls had until Monday at 10 a.m. to turn herself in. She didn’t show up and has not responded to calls or texts from detectives.

Paige Nicholls is 5’05” 130 pounds with blonde hazel and hazel eyes. She is a 3-time convicted felon for residential burglary and possession of controlled substances with no prescription. She has two gross misdemeanor convictions for vehicle prowling-2nd degree and theft 3rd degree.

UPDATE Oct. 25, 2018 -- 

Pierce County Sheriff's deputies say Shantel Holznagel was found last night by the King County Sheriff’s Office at grocery store.  Initially, she gave a fake name to the deputy and then said she did not want to go home. She is no longer considered a missing person.

Oct. 19, 2018 -- 

PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. -- Pierce County Sheriff’s detectives are asking for the public’s help to locate a missing mother of four young kids.

29-year-old Shantel Holznagel was reported missing by her mom after her family failed to see or hear from her for several weeks.

“Our biggest fear is that she’s no longer with us,” said Shantel’s aunt, Kellee Evans.

Detectives say Shantel last texted a friend on August 9 at 7 am to come get her and nobody has seen or heard from her since.

“We’re looking for friends who can help us build a timeline because this is going to take a lot of work to figure out exactly when she disappeared,” said Pierce County Sheriff’s Det. Ed Troyer.

Detectives say there are rumors that Shantel was assaulted but the information is sketchy.  Investigators don’t know where the attack happened or who was involved. To complicate matters, Shantel has been known to live a transient lifestyle and has taken off in the past for long periods of time.

“Hopefully, we find her and everything’s ok but we are treating it as suspicious and probable foul play at this point until we learn something different,” said Det. Troyer.

Investigators say they have recently talked to two people who claimed they saw Shantel in King County but those witnesses declined to provide specifics.

Her family says she has been dealing with some personal issues and hanging out with a rough crowd.

“I just want my niece found. People know what has happened to her. Please call. Think of it as your own daughter,” said Evans.

The missing woman’s dad wants her to know that nobody is judging her lifestyle.

“Shantel, I’m here for you. If you don’t want to contact them, you can contact me. I will come and get you wherever you’re at and get you the help you need. I just want you to know I love you and we want you home where your kids want you,” he said.

Shantel is 5’7” tall, 150 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes. She has several tattoos including the words “Angel face” on her back and an image of a diamond on her left ankle.

If you have any information on her whereabouts, you can remain anonymous.

Submit a tip to Crime Stoppers of Tacoma\Pierce County by calling 1-800-222-TIPS or use the P3 Tips App you can download for free to your phone.

SEATTLE -- Seattle Police are asking for the public's help to identify a suspect who snatched a woman's Kate Spade purse right out of her hands at Northgate Mall on October 8th.

It had a significant amount of US currency in it because she had gone there to deposit cash in the bank for her daughter's tuition. It also contained a credit card, her ID and some Indonesian currency.

Unfortunately, the bank was closed when she got there so she was headed to the food court to get something to drink.

The thief is described as 18 to 21 years old with a thin build and wearing a red sweater with the symbol of a 'crown' on it.

The video shows him on his phone stalking her through the mall before grabbing her purse and racing for the door. She chased after him. There was a getaway driver in a dark silver or gray sedan waiting outside.

The crook slipped down trying to jump in the back of the vehicle but the car slowed and they got away along with a 3rd suspect that you can see running from the mall as well who may have been acting as a lookout.

"I would say she was probably targeted so it's a very sad story. I just hate cases like this where they pick on defenseless woman, so do us a favor, watch the video, give us a call. We need this guy in custody," said Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.

The video is not clear enough to make out what kind of vehicle it is or the license plate so any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000 if you can identify the suspect or have any information that helps solve the case.

WANTED IN KING COUNTY —
The search is on for a wanted sex offender in King County.

Bryson Amundson was convicted in 2011 of sexually assaulting a 14 year old girl when he was 21. She was staying over at a friend’s house when he lured the girl into a tool shed and forced himself on her. Amundson was sentenced to 366 days behind bars for Rape of a Child 3rd Degree.

Now, Amundson is wanted in King County for failure to register as a sex offender. “He knows we`re looking for him,” said King County Sgt. Ryan Abbott. “He has 4 or 5 brothers and his brothers all have criminal histories, as well, all except for maybe one and one of them is known for identity theft, so we`re worried that he possibly is using a fake identity to avoid capture. His dad lives in Auburn. His dad says he still calls him, usually every 6 or 7 days to say that he`s okay, but he doesn`t stay with his dad anymore, his dad doesn`t allow him to stay there, so he`s on the run. He doesn`t really have a fixed address, most likely homeless, living house from house, couch to couch and we really need help tracking him down and getting him into jail.”

Bryson Amundson has a tattoo on his left forearm that says ‘Let me be guided by my ancestors,’ along with an eagle, bear, wolf and Dreamcatcher.

He’s 30 years old, 5’10”, 155 pounds.

His most recent conviction is for Theft 1st Degree.

If you can tell deputies where to find him, Crime Stoppers will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Use the P3 Tips App to submit your information, or call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS.

WANTED IN PIERCE COUNTY —
Fugitive, Michael McCall, ought to be ashamed of himself. Embarrassed. Humiliated. All of the normal feelings you and I would have if we did what he’s accused of.

He’s wanted in Pierce County for residential burglary, but that charge doesn’t come close to describing the filth and devastation left behind.

What you’ll see in the video will leave you questioning how anybody could act like that, without any sense of decency or respect.

His victims want him caught, a retired couple in northwest Pierce County who found an arrow shot into the wall and their kitchen trashed when they returned to their home in Vaughn from a family trip.

“I feel violated. I feel a shiver inside me without stopping.”

Cigarettes and urine were all over the floor of their ceramics shop.

“I’d like to poke him in the chest and say, ‘I’m very ashamed that human beings like you exist.’

Their bathroom was left disgusting. “And, then put some more layers of toilet paper and more poop, I don’t get it.”

But worst of all, “He killed my fish.”

The couple asked not to be identified for their security.

“I thought this place was safe out here, but apparently it's not.” Understandably, they are outraged after Pierce County Sheriff's detectives say McCall basically moved into their home and acted like some kind of ‘Goldilocks’ from hell. "He called and ordered a bunch of dirty movies, something we never did in our lives."

Deputies found McCall shortly after the crime. You can see him being questioned in photos.

"Not only did he live in the residence and take some of the items, but he destroyed and vandalized a lot of it,” said Pierce County Sheriff’s Det. Ed Troyer.

Deputies found McCall's compound bow and arrows that matched the one found in their wall. He was arrested on outstanding warrants for DUI and Failure to Appear. Then, when investigators found three good fingerprints inside the home, prosecutors charged McCall with residential burglary. By that time, he'd been released from jail. Now, he is wanted for failing to appear at his arraignment.

"We're betting he's probably broken into somebody else's house doing the same thing, so this is somebody that's living off other people, stealing their property, vandalizing it for now reason so we want to get him picked up and put an end to it,” said Det. Troyer.

The victims have spent days trying to clean everything up, to replace the ruined items, to find their peace again. “I'm very happy in this place. It's my place of retirement. I dream all my life of this place.”

Now, they have to live wondering if McCall, or some other crook is going to come back. "Well, I hope that this individual is put away for a long time and it would be nice if they did a sweep of the urban woods here and picked up all the urban campers."

His full name is Michael Joseph Jordan McCall.

He's 26 years old, 6'2", 200 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes.

In addition to the Pierce County warrant, he's wanted for Theft in the 3rd Degree in Kitsap County.

If you know where he’s hiding, Crime Stoppers will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Use the P3 Tips App to submit your information, or call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS.

WANTED IN SEATTLE —
An elderly man walking his dog in downtown Seattle is pepper-sprayed by a stranger on the street — the second time within weeks he’s been attacked by the same suspect. In the first attack, he was stabbed.

Take a good look at the suspect. Seattle police are hoping you can help identify him.

Detectives say both bizarre attacks happened because the suspect wrongly accused the victim of having his dog. Detectives have confirmed the dog belongs to the victim, so this suspect is confused and very violent.

“It’s about 4:45 in the morning. The victim’s taking his dog out for a walk and he’s confronted by the suspect in this case who says, ‘Hey! What are you doing with my dog?’ The victim goes, ‘That’s not your dog, it’s my dog.’ Suspect takes out a knife and swipes at the victim, actually cuts him in the hand and stabs him in the left thigh,” said Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.

The victim was rushed to the hospital. The suspect got away.

That was on August 1st. More than five weeks later on September 8^th — the victim’s morning dog walk turned into terror again. “He gets confronted by the same suspect, who says ‘What are you doing with my dog?’ And walks up, takes pepper spray and sprays him in the face. Fortunately, the victim wore glasses and it didn’t get directly in his eyes. So, the victim takes off and he heads back to the Frye Hotel, where he’s living and the suspect follows him in the lobby and that’s where you see the video of this guy. Very distinct clothing. We don’t know why this takes place, other than the fact that the suspect thinks it’s his dog and it certainly isn’t, because we’ve proved that.”

Unfortunately, the camera quality isn't very good but someone who knows this guy is going to recognize him.

Detectives say he's Asian, in his mid-60's, with a thin build, about 5’6”, with graying hair, bad teeth, and speaks with an accent.

This guy is dangerous and seems like he could definitely use some mental help.

If you live or work in the area around the Frye Hotel and have seen this man, or think you know his name, tell Seattle Police by using the P3 Tips App on your smart phone to submit the information to Crime Stoppers, or call the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

It's anonymous -- you never have to give your name -- and you'll get a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your tip helps lead to his arrest.

WANTED IN KENT —
Pedro Santiago-Rodriguez is an accused child rapist who Kent Police need your help to find.

He failed to show up to King County court on Monday, where he’s charged with Child Rape in the 2^nd Degree.

Detectives say the victim was 12 years old.

According to the court documents, Santiago-Rodriguez is accused of holding her down by her wrists while she was screaming — and then raping her.

“We want to get this guy picked up. The sooner the better. He should be sitting in jail. A warrant`s been issued. $250,000 for this guy`s arrest. He deserves to be where he belongs and that`s jail, you know, if you`re out there committing crimes against children, how many more victims are out there? And, we don`t want anymore,” said Kent Police Det. Melanie Robinson.

He’s 44 years old, 5’7”, 162 pounds and has a small tattoo on his finger.

It’s believed he could be living in the Oakland, California area or be in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — that’s why we need your help — somebody will know how to get in touch with him, or a family member who can pinpoint his exact location.

Crime Stoppers will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. It is anonymous. Submit a tip by using the P3 Tips App on your phone, or call 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

SEATTLE -- Police are asking for the public’s help to find a woman accused of robbing the mother of a sick child outside Seattle Children's Hospital.

Detectives say on September 12th, Paige Nicholls smashed out the right rear wing passenger side window of the victim’s car. When the victim came to get something for her 11-year-old son being treated for a brain disease, detectives say she found Nicholls sitting in the backseat.

“The female notices the victim gets out and immediately takes a swing at her and hits her in the face. Then, the suspect pulls out a knife, puts it towards the victim's neck and says some curse words at her and then the victim starts screaming. A witness comes up and notices the suspect. Suspect looks at the witness and takes a $20 bill, throws it at the victim, says 'Hey, I'm sorry and she takes off running," detectives said.

Nicholls already has an arrest warrant in Marysville for car prowling and now King County prosecutors are filing charges for robbery.

Washington's Most Wanted host David Rose said he gave Nicholls several chances to do the right thing, but she has not turned herself in.

Rose said he spoke with Nicholls last Thursday.

"The first time I called, she hung up on me. When I called back, she said it was a bad reception. I encouraged her to surrender. She wanted to know how much her bail was going to be. I didn’t have an answer for her. She later texted me and asked what she needed to do," Rose said.

Nicholls had until Monday at 10 a.m. to turn herself in. She didn’t show up and has not responded to calls or texts from detectives.
