Wife of missing man files for divorceBy Christine Clarridge

Seattle Times staff reporter

The wife of a 28-year-old SeaTac man, whose disappearance in February sparked widespread attention and Internet speculation and sleuthing, has filed for divorce, according to documents filed last month in King County Superior Court.

Nicholas Francisco vanished after leaving his Queen Anne graphic-design job on Feb. 13.

Five days later, his red 1992 Toyota Paseo was found abandoned outside a Federal Way condominium complex, but sheriff's detectives found no indication that he'd been the victim of foul play and no evidence of his whereabouts.

As a result, investigators with the King County Sheriff's Office have said the case is no longer on the front burner, although detectives will keep it open until they can rule out any possible criminal connection.

Sheriff's Sgt. James Laing said that if Francisco did disappear on his own, there is nothing illegal about it.

"People disappear for various reasons all the time," he has said. "Adults decide they want to start another life for various reasons."

Christine Francisco, who initially said she believed her husband had been murdered, launched a massive public appeal on TV and on the Internet pleading for information right after he went missing.

His disappearance and her request spawned an unusual level of interest, prompting amateur sleuths to bombard the Sheriff's Office with investigative suggestions, according to sheriff's spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart.

In March, Christine Francisco said in a newspaper interview that the reality of her situation was settling in and she was coming to realize that, regardless of the reason for his disappearance, she might not see her husband again.

"There's a point you have to face the facts," Francisco said then. "You can't sit and hide in a corner your whole life, especially if you have kids. His disappearance hasn't made the world stop spinning; the bills need to be paid."

Christine Francisco filed for divorce on May 28, citing "willful abandonment that continues for an extended period of time." She also cites the Revised Code of Washington referring to a "history of acts of domestic violence or an assault or sexual assault, which causes grievous bodily harm or the fear of such harm" under a section requesting restrictions on Nicholas Francisco's access to their children.

Christine Francisco also asked that the court award her the couple's common property and assign the couple's common debt to him.

Francisco said she had no comment when reached by e-mail Tuesday. Francisco's attorney did not return calls.

Officially, Nicholas Francisco remains a missing person.

The married father of two was last seen Feb. 13 leaving his Queen Anne graphic-design job. Five days later, his car was found abandoned at a Federal Way condo complex.So far, there is nothing to suggest foul play, according to King County sheriff's spokesman John Urquhart.

But for a legion of Web sleuths, Francisco, 28, is a cause célèbre. They have spent the months since the SeaTac man's disappearance cultivating and sharing their theories online, with Urquhart and with anyone who will listen.

"I have never had a case like this before," Urquhart said last week. "I have been flabbergasted by the amount of people across the country who have taken an interest in this case. And I don't know why."

The e-mails are breathless, the theories wide-ranging:

Some believe Francisco was leading a double life. Or ran off to Australia. Or was kidnapped from the parking lot at Costco, where he had told his wife, Christine, he was stopping the night he disappeared.

The Web sleuths also suggest how detectives should work.

"Would you please consider bringing search dogs to the Costco parking lot, and the bank of the river beside it?" one woman asked Urquhart. "In so many of the cases we've found online, missing men in their twenties end up being found in water ... " (They are?)

Lisa from Los Angeles offered to put up "Missing" posters there, "because it is such a hub for missing people." (It is?)

"Jean in Kentucky" wondered if police had checked security cameras. (They did.)

And they ask questions: Why has the Web site created to help find Francisco (www.findnicholasfrancisco.com) been taken down, yet one for his wife (www.supportingchristine.wordpress.com) is still up?

I tried to reach Christine Francisco to ask, but her phone was disconnected.

Urquhart said he sends detectives anything that appears helpful, "but there is a lot that is pure conjecture."

Indeed, one blogger friend of Francisco's checked online for updates and was stunned at all the citizens on the alert.

"With the Internet on the case, who needs law enforcement?" she wrote. "Seriously, someone has been watching way too much 'Dateline.' "

And yet, the Web sleuths don't feel they are strangers butting in; some know what it's like to wait and wonder about someone they love.

The California woman? Her brother went missing and was later found dead.

Jean from Kentucky's second husband was killed by a person who tried to rob him.

She has written of her deep-seated "need to know what has happened to Nicholas Francisco."

"I can't get it out of my mind," she wrote.

Officially, Francisco remains a missing person and will stay one until he is found.

If he is found alive, deputies will inform his wife of only that — not where he is.

"It's not up to the police to tell others of a found person's whereabouts," Urquhart said.

Still, there are many who will want to know if Francisco is found. Strangers, sure. But only to him.

The AMW blurb
(June 14, 2008 http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/brief.cfm?id=53372) did get Nicholas a little exposure and I'm so glad. Especially when so many missing person's cases get forgotten after the media hype dies down. IF they had any media.....

Praying that valid tips comes in.

http://childmissing.blogspot.com/

"Nicholas Francisco: Days after 28-year-old Nicholas Francisco vanished from the parking lot of his Seattle office, cops in Federal Way located the missing man's car outside a condo complex. Although cops did not find any blood or other signs of foul play, they are perplexed by the mystery of this father-to-be's sudden disappearance."
