In a major development in the search for Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain, the Shasta County Sheriff's Office announced that the missing person investigation is now a homicide investigation. Detectives made the determination based on evidence gathered, information from interviews, and the fact that none of Nikki’s family members have heard from her since May 18, 2024.

Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain has been missing for ten months, and her husband, Tyler McCain, had remained silent until now. At a press conference alongside Nikki's family and the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, McCain spoke publicly about his wife for the first time. Nervous and struggling to find the right words, he said he didn’t know what to say, apologized to Nikki's family and his children for not being more publicly involved in the search, admitted he had not handled the attention well, and offered a message to Nikki, saying, "We miss you."

Detectives with the Shasta County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit, along with agents from Homeland Security and the FBI, served a search warrant at 17277 Olinda Road in Anderson. This was Nikki’s residence when family members first reported her missing on May 22, 2024.

Does this mean police believe Nikki's body was moved?
