RANDOLPH, Minn. — Officials are searching a home in Randolph Township after a 56-year-old woman in Dakota County was reported missing.
Nicole “Nikki” Irene Anderson has been missing since Saturday morning. On Wednesday, the Dakota County Sheriff's Office said it was executing a felony warrant at a home in Randolph Township. Just before 3 p.m., deputies put a man in handcuffs and into the back of a squad car at that location. Anderson’s mother, Dorene Mies, confirmed to KARE 11’s Kiya Edwards that the home is their family estate and that the man is known to the family.
According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Anderson left her home in Randolph Township around 10 a.m. Saturday on foot, and hasn't been heard from since. Officials say Anderson left without her phone, wallet, glasses or medication, adding that there is “concern for her welfare.”
Mies says Anderson left the house to get the mail. The moment was captured on their Ring camera.
“I didn’t think much about it,” said Mies. "I mean, this is rural Randolph. These things don’t happen.”
The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office searched the area surrounding Anderson’s home, and put a call out to the public asking for anyone with information to call 651-438-TIPS (8477) or emailing crimeandwarranttips@co.dakota.mn.us, case number 24-000819.
