Ah! Yes! I am hung up on that suitcase comment too: It isn't clear to me if the dad really answered the question. I DVR'd it, and just rewatched that part, and have transcribed it here:
Dr Phil to Dad: "when she left, she took a small suitcase with her."
Dad: (seems to be nodding but did not directly answer the question verbally) "As far as I know, (hesitation) she took a few things with her."
Dr. Phil (cutting in and speaking over dad who is still finishing that above sentence): "But she had a blanket with her"
Dad: "Yes, sir, I know she had the blanket with her"
The go on to discuss the minion blanket, and the fact that she did not leave with her medicine, which it sounded like she received 3 times a day.
So, did she, or did she not have a suitcase with her? A suitcase in my mind, means she WAS planning on running away. But surely she knew that she could not survive without her medicine. Dad seemed to think so. So, why would you bring a suitcase if you were planning on coming home before the next dose? And, Is this the same suitcase in NK's room where the minion blanket and cleaning supplies were found?
Another part in the episode that I am puzzled over is when Dr. Phil was talking to the dad how did he find out she was missing. Dad said the mom called him at 7 a.m, he thinks possibly even before she called the police, after finding Nicole missing and the window open. He said that the mom told the him that the only thing that they knew was Nicole had been in contact with someone named David, and his name is David, so they immediately called him (I assume to rule out that Nicole wasn't over there). So, how did the mom know this???
Thanks for checking. My hunch is that she did NOT take a suitcase but that Dr. Phil was confused about the suitcase in NK's dorm room. I'm going to dismiss the suitcase until we hear better confirmation.
Regarding the Mom knowing a "David" existed....whoa!
