The granddaughter of two Mississippi civil rights icons is missing in Georgia.
The family of Medgar and Myrlie Evers has announced that Nicole “Niki” Evers-Everette, granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evers and daughter of Reena Evers-Everette is missing from her Duluth, GA, apartment since Sunday, September 22.
A release from the family says she last spoke with her mother, Reena Evers-Everette, at 5:55 PM on Sunday.
“I am worried and terrified for my daughter, Niki,” said Reena Evers-Everette. “We talk regularly and it is also unusual for me to not be able to reach her.”
Niki has not reported to work this week, which her family says is highly unusual. She does not have her cell phone, purse, or other personal effects. Her car was missing from her apartment complex and last seen on Keys Ferry Road & McCart Road in McDonough, GA, on Monday night.
“I am in constant prayer that she is safe and comes back to us soon. Timing is critical because Niki has a medical condition that requires medication, which she does not have,” said Evers-Everett. “We are diligently working with law enforcement officials as we try to locate Niki. We are urging everyone to keep their eyes open and report any sightings of Niki or relevant information to the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770-513-5700. She has a kind soul, a big heart, and a smile that lights up the room. We need all the help we can get to bring her home safely.”
