I do not have the books in front of me, but I remember that Frodo and Sam heard and/or saw the Witch King returning to Barad-dur, but their hearts were lifted because the "cloud" did not hold power over them as it did before. I know this is a paraphrase, but it is in the book, and that is why I do not think the Witch King was actually destroyed by Merry and Eowyn, just rendered powerless, as long as Sauron existed.
