The travels of Nicole Holder, Greg Hardy’s accuser

The Story

The key witness in the case against Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy, Nicole Holder, didn’t show up for his much-anticipated trial Monday. As a result, Hardy’s case was dismissed.

Nicole’s journey

So where is she? She’s been quite the traveler, according to her Facebook feed:

July until at least end of August: Still in Charlotte, working as a waitress at Suite Charlotte.

November: Wilmington and then back to hometown Mooresville.

“Back in Mooresville for the holidays what’s up this week Lkn ??” – Facebook post

December: 

Vail for some snowmobiling.

And then shopping in Atlanta.

And then NYC. It’s really beautiful during the holidays.

So, what’s going on here?

The district attorney tried to find her, even setting up surveillance. Family, friends and attorney wouldn’t help. Maybe it had something to do with the civil settlement she and Hardy agreed to?

C5’s Take

We should have known something was up when Hardy showed up at the courthouse — wearing these big white sneakers.
