On June 13, 1990, at about 2 p.m. Delphine Nikal told her uncle, whom she lived with, she was going to meet her three girlfriends in Smithers B.C., which was about 16 kilometres away. Delphine hitchhiked to Smithers, met up with her friends and at about 10 p.m. called her uncle to say she was on her way back. Delphine was last seen by her two friends hitchhiking in the east-bound lane of Highway 16.
Her disappearance may be related to several other disappearances and homicides of native Canadian women from communities along Highway 16 in the past decade.
