Missing Person Case Update – Nikki Winder

The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office is providing an update regarding the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nicole “Nikki” Winder, who has been missing since February 25, 2026.

Prior to the ex*****on of search warrants on April 15, 2026, investigators had identified a specific Polaris UTV believed to be relevant to this investigation. Locating this UTV was included among the items sought during the ex*****on of search warrants at two properties in the 19000 block of FM 974. Despite those efforts, the Polaris UTV was not located, and its current whereabouts remain unknown. The Polaris UTV has the last four digits of the VIN: 7827.

The Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information regarding the location of this Polaris UTV to contact the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office at (979) 361-4900 or Brazos County Crime Stoppers at (979) 775-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the recovery of the Polaris UTV. Tips may be submitted anonymously.

Investigators are currently awaiting the completion of additional evidence analysis related to this investigation. Once that process is complete, the information will be reviewed and incorporated into the ongoing investigation. Investigators continue to actively pursue leads and work toward finding answers regarding Nikki’s disappearance. The Sheriff’s Office remains committed to conducting a thorough investigation and following every piece of information received from the public.

Last week, Sgt. Mike Stumpf with our Criminal Investigations Division found himself in the right place at the right time.

While at our Fleet Services facility, it was discovered that a tiny kitten had crawled into the engine compartment of one of our vehicles and couldn't get out.

Despite being dressed in a shirt and tie, Sgt. Stumpf didn't hesitate. He climbed under the vehicle, got a little dirty, and went to work rescuing the scared kitten. Thankfully, he was able to safely free the tiny feline and save the day.

But that's not where the story ends.

Sgt. Stumpf took the kitten home, cared for it, and we're happy to report it has now found its forever home.

We're grateful the only thing that suffered during this rescue was Sgt. Stumpf's wardrobe. Whether it's helping people or helping a kitten in need, we're proud to have employees who are always willing to step up when called upon.

And to our friends in the fire service—we know rescuing cats is usually your territory, but we figured we'd give it a shot this time. 😉

Happy Monday, Brazos County. 🐾

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of scammers impersonating members of our office. Victims report receiving calls from 979-361-4900 and 979-361-4990, claiming they have an active warrant, missed jury duty, or failed to appear in court.

To make the scam appear legitimate, the callers are sending fake court documents and demanding payment to avoid arrest.

⚠️ Remember:
• The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office will NEVER call and demand payment to avoid arrest.
• We will NEVER ask you to pay with Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, gift cards, cash apps, or wire transfers.
• No legitimate law enforcement agency will direct you to a Bitcoin ATM or kiosk to make a payment.

If you receive one of these calls:
✅ Hang up immediately
✅ Do not send money
✅ Do not provide personal information
✅ Contact the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office directly to verify any claims

The fake documents can look convincing, but if someone claiming to be from law enforcement demands payment by Bitcoin, gift cards, or another electronic payment method to avoid arrest, it is a scam.

Please share this post to help protect your family, friends, and neighbors from becoming victims.
