I think it was reported they bought their home in 2006. IMO, they would not have much equity. If she is going to try to get out from under the mortgage, maybe she should try a take over payment type sale. There have been several sale like that around here.

Gardner expects area home prices to decline 5 percent in 2008, with larger drops in rural areas than closer to employment centers.

But real estate brokers said that right now, high inventory and low interest rates are bringing out buyers and helping perk up the market.

Maybe it is a separation situation and he just forgot to tell her they were separating. After he found out he had been reported missing, he contacted her.

I don't think she can sell the house without his signature, I think we've confirmed that they were both on the deed. Remember, Scott Peterson tried to sell their house but couldn't because there was no proof at that time of Laci's death.

One possible reason some sites are suddenly not visable - sometimes when a person sees a lot of hits to their site they wll shut it down, temporarily or permenantly. It happens often when there is something that comes up and the link is passed around. So whoever owns that winery site, NF's dad or someone else, may have had a ton of hits suddenly and they feel it is best to close it.

Usually when I send a link I check it right after it sends - it worked when I sent it - but I see someone got it going again. I think you are right isitme because West Seattle blog had a little note "with people still up all over and around this site..." so I guess they do know how much activity they are getting.

I certainly would have. This basically means if your spouse goes missing you can say "personal" and they say okey doke - sorry to have bothered you. Good grief.

ETA UNLESS it is the wife that goes missing - then the guy is hammered unmercifully.

This has always bothered me and still does, WHY ask for money so soon(or at all?) Yes, I know, CF didn't directly ask for donations but still...IMO it just seemed suspicious.

Supposing she knew he left her, that would explain why she went along with the donations BARELY 3 DAYS after his 'disappearance', thinking she'll make the "most of it" seeing it as an opportunity(can someone say fraud?).
I don't see another plausible explaination.
Anyway that's one of my theories and again MOO.

Those repeated posts by Fashiongrentbags just seemed so pushy which initially made me think that it was some sort of scam...

It's still quite a leap for me to think this is all voluntary on his part. No motive has emerged for him to want to disappear and no reason for someone randomly taking him out.

Yes but even if the original plea came from CF's sister, someone(I assume most likely CF) must have told her that "financial support is desperately needed".
Of course CF's sister could have known about their financial situation...
But again what bothers me here is why ask for money SO soon or at all? Just does not seem right IMO

This young couple seemed to do so many things "right" I just can't see them pulling a scam. I really believe something else triggered Nicholas' disappearance.

also, I thought I read earlier that Christine's sister was hurt in an accident. Is that the same sister who is mentioned as trying to organize financial help? I'm just curious.

I aked the other day about his birthday, don't remember who, but they posted his birthday was the 23rd. January. I wrote it down.
Iirc correctly, that was the final, someone else had posted before the 28th and it was corrected.

About the LE sitting on the car for a while.

When did they learn that it had possibly been moved?

How many officers showed up in response to the call about the car being there?

How long did it take for the responsing LE to determine that it was in fact NF's car?

How many officers were involved in the initial on site examination of the vehicle?


I have point, I just want to see if there are some thoughts on the above questions before I "go there".

Nicholas - from what we have been told...

Gets up early in the morning to play with the kids and fix them breakfast

Brings Christine her coffee

Goes to work - works an 8 hour day

Stops by the grocery store on his way home

Bakes Cookies -

Works a second job at night freelancing

Sounds like a long day to me

If they are joint owners in the house, she can't sell without his signature or a death certificate. Even in a divorce situation. Believe me I know because I just went thru this.

we are back on christine's sister asking for donations which again wasn't the case. It was someone who spoke to Christine's sister but the thing is this has been discussed how many times and the results have been what?

this is no offense to the person that posted it, just saying that everything has been discussed 50x's and there have been no conclusions. And I don't think there will be unless we get more info.

Let me clarify my first question - from the time LE arrived at the scene, how long were they at the scene before it was reported to them that the vehicle had been seen in other parking spots?

I would think as soon as LE got there, the neighbors would have told them it had been moved several times.

Seems like they would have known it was his car the second they look at the license plate.

He may have contacted his wife, I think she was the one who said it was a 'personal family matter' and found he had left her and didn't want/need the police involve anymore. That's what it sounds like to me.
Of course, this is JMO and recollection.

Yeah and we may come up with the same discusssion 50 more times or more. No offense but if it bothers you, why be here. I don't mind when people bring up the same discussions. I'm not here 24/7 so I sometimes miss what's being discussed. Furthermore, people may bring up a topic with a different view point which we may have not thought of before. Lastly, new posters just join the forum and may not have all the information.

I'm glad to see some of you tossed around the idea of NF hitching a ride courtesy of VF via employer transportation.

Now here's another thing I've been pondering over along those lines. Not totally worked through, but play along, ok.

NF met VF at a party, online, etc. They each complain about something in their life- marriage, debts, life in general, legal troubles, etc. and the plot to leave is hatched.

VF suggests the truck to Canada, (or where ever) and the plan is set in motion. Based on when the truck is pulling out they can't leave until Feb. 17 (or later.) Neither man expects or even gives any thought to their disappearance making national news, or even being treated as much of a newsworthy item. As I stated earlier NF decides he will not go home on Feb. 13 because it is Valentine's Eve and he can't face his wife and children knowing he is planning to leave soon, (this would explain making sure several people knew cell phone battery was dead.) Also NF may have had some last minute things to take care of between Feb. 14 and the date they actually left Seattle. He wouldn't want LE picking up on cell phone pings showing his location. NF stays in a motel, (but after seeing all the news about his disappearing perhaps VF checked in with his ID and paid cash but NF occupied the room.) Remember VF's disapearance has gone pretty much unnoticed, especially compared to NF's. NF moves his car around several times with VF giving him a ride after he parks the car at various crowded locations, (therefore no prints but NF's in car.) NF knows he has got to ditch the car soon so LE won't track him down now that his car is plastered over the news, and he also wants CF to know he probably just walked by leaving the car in plain site to eventually be discovered with no evidence of foul play. He decides on the condo complex where he anticipates someone will report the car in their place pretty quickly. Maybe NF took the risk of running some errands after he initially parked there, (and was in fact spotted by the man at the storage unit), thus explaining the car being moved and later parked in a different spot. Maybe explaining the gas station sighting as well.

So the journey out of Seattle begins on or around Feb. 17th. Maybe VF got lonely and started missing his child or just felt guilty and phoned home to let his wife know he was working through some things. If he called from a pre paid phone it couldn't be traced. From reading her MySpace it doesn't sound like she gave a big hoot that he left her, heck maybe she wanted him to leave for a while, or maybe he has an opportunity to make more money and she's all for that plan if he sends some home, or she plans to meet up with him later. Maybe NF met and took off with the person who was the reason for him leaving in the first place, (maybe they are in CA by now), and VF started having second thoughts about what he had done. So many, many possiblities here.
Heck maybe 4 adults are in on a scheme, but only VF and NF knew the initial plan but the wives now know.

Heck, does this all sound crazy?

No idea. I don't think it was reported and I don't believe any of us were there. I would assume it was when they went door to door talking to neighbours. I don't believe anyone came forward to tell them. But I could be wrong.

OK so what's your point. I'm getting restless. LOL

But wasn't the report called in by a male? IIRC at least one of the reports that the vehicle had been moved came from a female (goping only by first names that I read)

So if LE learned as soon as soon as the arrived that it had been moved there was a gathering of people in the parking lot already, or fairly quickly upon their arrival. RIght?

So if that is the case what would be the point of putting the car under surveilance? If the "driver" of the car was in the area and they witnessed this wouldn't it seem logical that they would not return to that car again?

Yes, the "driver" may not have witnessed the gathering of citizens and LE but how would LE know that? So they take the chance that the "driver" didn't know about the investigation and sit around waiting for the "driver" show up again. In the mean time possible valuable evidence is not being processed and there is man out there that could be in harms way or worse while they wait for someone to show up????? I don't get it.

Then there was the search both by the canines and the friends and family. Which IMHO was VERY important to do at that time. How is the car going to be kept under watch and hope that the "driver" reappears with all of tha going on????

No it doesn't. The only thing I would question is one wife being totally unphased about the whole thing and the other one in hysterics about money.

I do however believe there may be a connection with both disappearances. What that is remains a mystery. I find it highly coincidental that both disappeared at the same time.

I wonder if that's another reason LE has been so quiet and not releasing anymore information. What else do they know?

Not sure if y'all watched Oprah but I got home in time to watch the last 15 minutes or so. Anyway, it was about mistresses and betrayed wives.

One woman was pregnant with their 4th. child!! And he decided to leave her for another woman. She did whatever she could including begging him not to leave but he did anyway.

I'm not saying that's the case here but these things do happen.

Here is the link to the woman who was on Oprah.

Maybe a gambling debt or something along those lines, could be anything, and he couldn't force himself to tell her before leaving.

Hysterics about money could easily be part of the whole scheme. Milk it for as long as possible. Maybe planned in advance, maybe thought of by her (if he walked and it was a surprise to her), maybe hatched after he called and said this is the only way out of our debt, especially with tax debt and a new baby just around the corner.

Maybe the church had nothing to do with anything (can we say WILD GOOSE CHASE)...maybe the resignation was a mere ruse to throw suspicion that way. Maybe this explains why Christine doesn't want to go there, or maybe it was NF's plan alone, and he told CF some bogus story of why they should resign.

But once LE has shown up, opened the car, looked in the trunk, talked to the people that have gathered (if any), isn't that enough for the "driver" to say to himself that they won't be able to go back to that car if it is left behind. Wouldn't the "driver" kind of figure that it was left behind BECAUSE IT WAS BEING WATCHED after he had witnessed the LE poking around in it?

How would they perform a search with the dogs and the friends and family without the "driver" being aware of it. Or should the search have been postponed as well?

"It's been a month of hell. I'm in agonizing torture. It keeps getting worse . The nightmare keeps getting worse," says Christine Francisco.

Christine has been doing her best to take care of their two young children, during this whole ordeal. But she admits, it's been hard making ends meet without her husbands income. She says friends, family, and the community have helped tremendously.

So if that is the case what would be the point of putting the car under surveilance? If the "driver" of the car was in the area and they witnessed this wouldn't it seem logical that they would not return to that car again?

Yes, the "driver" may not have witnessed the gathering of citizens and LE but how would LE know that? So they take the chance that the "driver" didn't know about the investigation and sit around waiting for the "driver" show up again. In the mean time possible valuable evidence is not being processed and there is man out there that could be in harms way or worse while they wait for someone to show up????? I don't get it.

Then there was the search both by the canines and the friends and family. Which IMHO was VERY important to do at that time. How is the car going to be kept under watch and hope that the "driver" reappears with all of tha going on???? [/*]

I think you summed it up pretty well. Most of the residents may speak at the mail boxes or passing in the hallway, but probably don't socialize.

Let LE or an ambulance show up in the parking lot, and I bet there are more people in the parking lot than attends the condo's annual meetings.

No, I agree - I said if her going on national tv and telling her friends on that thread her husband was shielding her from debt was not encouragement to continue on, then I don't know what would be. I absolutely think she encouraged it and now wants to say she had nothing to do with it.

Lots of me and women do it every day. Yes, they up and leave their kids. It is a horrible exp when you witness it.
Esp if you think "well, that could never happen, so and so would NEVER do that" but the truth is, when push comes to shove, yes ppl do up and leave.

There is something not setting right w.me for this whole case. I dont believe that her actions are appropriate, asking for money, worrying about money; right away acting as if he were dead (unless she knew he was) stating seriously that she just knew he was dead......

I dont know if this is a scam. But I was on facebook and myspace last nite for hours, just reading, looking and trying to see exactly who knew who and who was friends with whom and how often ppl PM each other, and What CF internet "tracks" were the day and the day after NF "left"
She was not online. She ususally is online, 2am 1am mindnite etc.
Feb 15th her online activiity picked right back up without hardly skipping a beat.

I have a problem with this.

Okay let me say this loud and clear I COULD BE WRONG, but the first post I can find with Christine telling everyone her husband is missing is the night of 2-16. If she was online 2-15 I would think she would have put that announcement out there before the evening of the 16th. Maybe I just missed it.

It sounds like he is a-ok. If Harlett says he is I trust she knows this for a fact or she wouldn't have said so. I'm also certain LE has confirmed the wife's story.

By one I guess you mean one pic of VF. You kind of have to dig on the link to find them, unless she removed them. Curious if she did remove his pics, why.

It sounds like he is a-ok. If Harlett says he is I trust she knows this for a fact or she wouldn't have said so. I'm also certain LE has confirmed the wife's story.

I'll try to find the Utube video of VF and family sometime tonight and post the link. [/*]

He's still missing per the two sites that he's on. Harlett's site has the link to the You Tube video.

I had sent a message to Stephanie back when we found out about her husband being missing. She was kind enough to respond and said she was keeping his disappearance a private family matter.

I just find your opening phrase "You've obviously never been in LE or you would know" a bit harsh.

Perhaps I should have said JMHO. MOOO and all of that before asking my questions and posting my thoughts ??????/

I would think so also...but...maybe she was in shock. I still would like to give her the benefit of doubt. Altho, since last night, I have something else rolling around in my mind.

An undercover should have been sent to sit somewhere out of sight, near the car and watch. After a few hours of possibly no one showing up, they can then begin to process the car or if someone did show up to the car, process that person. Also a bad move was notifying the condo complex via the news of the pending search. Gave whoever, if they were indeed there, plenty of time to get away. Now their best chance at a possible lead, is gone. [/*]

I have never heard of LE staking out a missing person's car. Main reason being , the person may be in the trunk for all they know.

About 8 years ago, an area woman reported her car stolen. She suspected her ex-husband. Her ex was very well known to LE and had numerous warrants. Four days later, LE spotted the car parked on the street in a residential neighborhood. LE watched the car hoping the ex would surface. After 24 hours and no ex, LE decided to impound the car. The ex-wife was in the trunk. She had been murdered.

IMO, LE deciding to sit on the car or tow the car is a judgement call. NF had been missing for 5 days. They do not know if he is a victim of foul play or if he took off on his own. It is one of those darned if you do and darned if you don't situations.

Like I said, on one post, CF ya need to be sending out your resume' instead of blogging online on facebook and myspace and etsy. That's just, well, that's just absurd.

:shrug: [/*]

I agree CT. I was a SAHM, by my ex's insistence. But CF is much younger, married less years than I and I have no, none, zero, zip, experience or education. She is educated, which speaks volumes in the work world. I don't know if she's had work experience, but with her education, age and talent, she has much opportunity out there for her. I would think that it may be difficult at first but, it is not an unreachable goal for her. But, if you are sitting on your bu** reading and criticizing, defending, whining, your not working a resume or checking out possible ways of income. My divorce attorney admitted to me that he thought he wasn't one for working and alot of his clients think the same, but when the rubber meets the road, no matter what you are used to or how much you love being a SAHM, that falls by the wayside. Reality is reality.

Wow...your story made the point quite well, and I agree it's a judgement call that has to be made quickly. I think 5 days missing with no clues was one of the reasons they had the car towed. IF NF had been in the trunk odds are he would have been deceased and it wouldn't have mattered whether they found out there are elsewhere. Besides, maybe they checked the trunk before towing the car away. We are not privy to many of the details.

Yes it is, and the only rationale I can come up with is LE will not remove it until they have checked out Stephanie's story (presumbly saying he has contacted her and is fine), and maybe they have yet to confirm her story. :eek:

I've been hooked on true crime since I was a teenager, and believe me that was many years ago. Maybe it's the length of time I've been interested but if I disappeared tomorrow and LE inquired about my interests in reading or TV, EVERYONE who knows me would say True Crime immediately. Heck for that matter they could look in my home and quickly figure it out from my book and video collection, not to mention the hard drive on my computer :eek: . But I promise I have never committed a crime in my life. LOL

There was a murder case a few years ago and it came out during the trial that the defendant loved the show (I believe it was CSI), and upon further investigation by LE they discovered CSI had a show with almost the exact same plot as the details in this murder that was committed. Needless to say she was found guilty. I wish I could remember the case and more details. Maybe someone here can refresh my memory.

Getting back to Christine..maybe she has 2 sides, the public and private side. The person she feels she should be, and the person she wants to be. Oh no it's starting to sound like I am analyzing her...certainly did mean to do that. lol

Maybe so... or perhaps she just saw this as an opportunity to get her shop some publicity. Yeah I know that sounds bad but it could nonetheless be fact.


She should have known better, that's all I will say. You don't root for someone you know nothing about. As far as I read she didn't know CF or NF. I could be wrong.

Besides this wasn't the first time someone was posting requests for donations, it actually happens quite regularly on etsy. And yes some of those posts turn/ed out to be scams.

I'm sorry to those who think we are over analyzing Christine. I have tried to be cautious about what I say. But, honestly I don't know how to take Christine out of the picture. Every bit of information we have has come from her so it's what we discuss.
If this was reversed, we'd be discussing Nicholas in the same way. I've held back on a lot of things I've thought about this case. But to say we can look at this case without looking into the actions/words of Christine is not realisitic. In every case those people involved in the case become part of the case. But I will also say, it does not bother me a bit to have others give us another side to it. Why can't we just discuss our thoughts without attacking each other's thoughts?

Meanwhile, deputies were looking for the victim's car and reporters were given a description of it. Two people were riding their bicycles on June 25 when they saw the car that matched the description given in news reports. On the way home to call authorities, the couple saw deputies parked in a store parking lot in the San Tan area and told them where the victim's car was parked. It was parked only a short distance from the homes of the suspects.

Detectives knew at that point that a body had been found, but they were not sure it was the victim. Surveillance of the car was set up in case the suspects returned.

"We had guys hiding in trees and bushes for four hours. At 1 a.m. that night we called it off and impounded the car," Lee said. It was processed for evidence.

I know you didn't direct this towards me Rainy but I would like to answer as well. The original thread got so big it ended up with its own section. (which is good). However, 80% of that was devoted to what Christine acted like that people didn't like.

When you discussed the Grandpa thing in the 50s (Correct me if I'm wrong because I really don't know what that means but I assume that Grandpa may have had some sort of shady past) there was a reason. He looked like a suspect. I know I am beating a dead horse when I say this, but most of you have admitted Christine is not a suspect (nor does LE say she is).

There is nothing wrong at all with discussing her. But dragging her continuously through the mud is another.

I personally think most of the time you guys (or gals..lol) have done much better with that and most of the things lately I have no issue with.

I personally just have empathy for anyone who is missing a family member and therefore when it gets ugly, I think some need to speak up.

Lots of me and women do it every day. Yes, they up and leave their kids. It is a horrible exp when you witness it.
Esp if you think "well, that could never happen, so and so would NEVER do that" but the truth is, when push comes to shove, yes ppl do up and leave.

There is something not setting right w.me for this whole case. I dont believe that her actions are appropriate, asking for money, worrying about money; right away acting as if he were dead (unless she knew he was) stating seriously that she just knew he was dead......

I dont know if this is a scam. But I was on facebook and myspace last nite for hours, just reading, looking and trying to see exactly who knew who and who was friends with whom and how often ppl PM each other, and What CF internet "tracks" were the day and the day after NF "left"
She was not online. She ususally is online, 2am 1am mindnite etc.
Feb 15th her online activiity picked right back up without hardly skipping a beat.

I have a problem with this.

I was going to ask you to post a link because someone posted a link earlier to Nicholas's facebook wall, because I would have liked to have read it and discussed it but realized there would have been no discussion except that how she did it, when she did it, how horrible she was because she did it, no discussion about whether people this age are just communicating this way as it is different than the way I grew up or if she was not dealing with reality and that was why but those things would have never been looked at or discussed so I didn't bother asking.

If NF is dead, murdered and washes up somewhere, believe me CF will be the No 1 Suspect. That's just the way LE and crime works. PPl in LE know this; she would have to be ruled out FIRST, and as far as I'm concerned she has made my freak flag fly.

Want me to go into body language next? Because I will have to address that soon. If Nic needed to walk away I'm sure he would have contacted someone by now, an ATTY to make a statement first and foremost. But he hasnt. That makes me wonder if he DID make it home that night because we cannot take CF word at face value, not when a crime might be in progress. Just cant do it no can no way no how.
This has nothing to do with CF but EVERYTHING to do with what her actions have been; what her footprints online have been, and what her statements have been. If NF turns up dead, she is the one w/motive. They had problems, $$ problems, the NO 1 Reason to kill a spouse, besides jealousy. Maybe he told her she would have to go to work, maybe there was a fight. We can speculate all we want to; until his family speaks out and says he has been located, and left his family.......shes on my radar. It's like a fact of life, when it comes to a case.

this is completely different than rehashing over and over about all of the things Christine has said, they way she moves her eyes, the things she posts, they way she says things, they way she talks about her stores, the way she runs her stores, what she says about her stores, etc.

Although i have posted a senerio way back, but i have no idea what day that was or anything.
I think maybe she could have had help.
A bf maybe.
A friend.
A stranger....a "hitman" kind of thing....
maybe she has or had to pay him off.
I don't know.
But i don't neccesarily believe that Nicholas did NOT come that night and something wasn't waiting for him when he did.
I would love to say what i think about her actions and how i totally think the things she is doing is crap, but honestly, i'm not very good at defending myself.

I believed his mother on Greta, I really felt that she did not know. But I also got the sense that maybe she is not close with her DIL, CF. And as we've seen with so many cases, family comes out and supports their in laws and then they find they are monsters. Monsters come in all shapes and sizes. I dont know why anyone would be tip toeing around, this is a CRIME MESSAGE BOARD FORUM. We Discuss ppl who commit crimes, we "follow the case" AND LE and how they work and handle the case.

Wow CT. You are passionate about it eh? Well I think she wouldnt hire a PI because she has no job and now her husband is missing. PI's are very expensive. She was talking about eventually having to file bankruptcy.

I snipped, I agree about the spouses that murder....men and women.
And hammer me if you want, there is still the possibility that CF had something to do with NF's disappearance. We don't know since LE hasn't announced or let any details about this case out except for the ambiguious 'suspicious' and 'still investigating'.
I agree that they may be and probably are holding back details on this case. Why? We don't know, but I've said it before...I trust LE, they have the experience and the training and they know all the facts. Probably more of the facts than CF posted on her blog.
I have followed too many cases where the public was outraged at not knowing things and it turned out in the end where they held these things back for a big reason. As hard as it is, I continue to be patient an wait for LE and not question their procedure, even if it seems at times wrong to all of us on a message forum. In this day of instant information, we think we should know everything instantly, but in the interest of finding out exactly what happened to NF, I would rather they not fall into the 'instant' and go thru with their plan of a thorough investigation.

There was also a back and forth discussion about VF around 8-8:30 tonight.

Earlier today posters were discussing bankruptcy, credit, home sales, taxes, etc. All indirectly related to Christine.

It might seem like it is all about Christine, but it's not even if she is a central figure in this case as the WIFE of the MISSING MAN. Maybe it feels that way to you because you would prefer we take her out of the equation and discussion all together and this is just not logical, primarily due to Christine herself.

"What case have you been following". No reason to be snippy. I thought we are all trying to get along here.

Of course she has money problems now. Her husband is missing.

However, LE stated that they searched their financial records before and found nothing. To me that means a) no reason to leave because of large debt and *) no substantial money taken from the accounts.

Since she has still been receiving NF's paychecks and a large amount of donations that are still continuing, in order to be that close to BK and foreclosure, the problems would likely have been there before 2/13, IMO.

I don't think I have seen anyone say anything about this but am I the only one who noticed that in all of CF's on line stuff she talks about God and being a stay at home mother but NF's has none of this? Closes is the sets of pictures of this kids that have now been deleted. No mention that I can find of God and only a few about being married. Everything else is just like every other nerd on the net. Another one of those little things that make me think he may not have been everything that CF thinks he is. Meaning he might have just walked away from all the pressure.

My mind is right beside yours.......things happen in 3's perhaps comments can also.......

1) Sweet Husband - pefect marriage

2) Shielding thier debts - everyone has problems in thier marriage

3) foul play, murder, now water..........hmmmmm

Do it bash me, but hey - the water would be a perfect start for a new search, that should of been done in the first place! I hear Washington has some pretty mountains, why no search going on there? I figuered she would come up with a way to stop posting on her website - perhaps that was due to the detective coming back..........but she is answering questions at that other site.........so go figure....JMOO IMO HMO Mad I have land payments due in march.......thats going to kill me......guess I will have to put up with all them during overtime.......:biggrin:

Well OK then.. Let's look at this..
There was no plan to go to costco for sugar, no plan to bake cookies.

NF as usual goes home and is met with planned foul play.. We are at 7 p.m. Maybe earlier.. Time to move the car, which wasn't part of anything, leave the keys.. Let what happens, happens after that.. Poor fool that drove it probably saw on the news and panicked..
Now there is plenty of time to clean things up.. How that is done? I don't know, hey maybe water is involved?

Get yourself together, call the police and, gosh "my husband shielded me from the debt"..

Money starts rolling in, pay the mortgage through April.. Wouldn't we all like that opportunity?.. Don't forget the gift cards etc.. Then he is gone a month.. Get a job, heck no.. Someone take care of me..

I don't think NF could meet her needs..

Just my opinon folks.. I have always thought it was planned out fould play.. I looked at the church and work.. But they are doing so much more than the one person that should be the spearheading it all..

We are looking for you NF...

am i allowed to talk about her then? [/*]

That is a big reason I've held back on some of my thoughts soy.
I have felt that if I did think she did it or has somehthing to do with it, I'm not allowed to talk about her.
I have tried to put myself in her shoes, I have some experience with a man that has left, not gone missing, but left, when I thought all was fine. I have empathy for her if she didn't know what was up and is faced with all that that entails. I have sympathy for her if she truly knows nothing. But....I do have been suspicious of her for many reasons. I have also felt that I cannot speak of these because of my fear of being ripped.

For some reason I have a hard time reading your post CT. No offense.

No evidence in the car to me doesnt prove anything. He could have been driven to an isolated area and a crime occurred outside the car.

Im not sure about all the facebook stuff except to say Christine is pregnant, so it would be weird her messing around. Not discounting it but I also look at the big picture. No one ever knows behind closed doors no, but they truly looked happy for the most part.

I myself, have been afraid to really start articulating it.. I get so frustrated, as you can see from my posts.. Agressive, passive, waffling.. But I have always felt it is foul play..

I have said everything I can to make my point. I can't make people see it if they don't want to. :( [/*]

decor, Christine is a major point in this case, like it or not. She is his wife. She was as far as we know one of the last people to speak to him. She is the one who said he was on his way home. She is the one who has said over and over he wouldn't leave her.
And I could go on and on. Who does LE look at in EVERY case of a missing person? The person closest to him. She has made her self available thru every venue possible...national news, Nancy Grace, Greta and on the internet in many, many blogs, spots, businesses and obviously on the crime boards, etc. Why oh why do you think she shouldn't be scrutinized, analyized and picked upon? Do you not think LE is doing the same? Think again. They even read these boards and search the internet, just as we do.
She can say, defend, get angry about all this 'attention' all she wants, but bottom line she is and will continue to be the first person LE and anybody else who isn't blinded by her poor, poor me statements. This is fact. This is the way they investigate. The start with the closest person to them, as we all have, and go from there. I've not seen anything from LE saying she is not a suspect, not a POI, that she is out of it in any way. Just because they are not saying this, doesn't mean they are not investigating her. I'M NOT SAYING THAT SHE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH NF'S DISAPPEARANCE...but that doesn't mean with LE she's not been considered. That is the way they do it. That is the way they conduct their investigations. And it seems to me that alot of us are thinking and saying things the way that LE does. Quit picking on those that do and learn that that's how it's done. Period.

I have a friend who's sister was in self imposed financial mess. She had received many threatening phone calls and letters about her failure to pay her mortgage payments. After 3 months legal papers were filed, another month passed before she was served with the certified papers. Another 7 months passed while she filed banruptcy, went to court, etc. before she had to leave her home, and she never had to make one of the past due payments. So..she lived in the house for free for 11 months. My friend didn't understand how she got by with this and neither do I. And on top of that she purchased another home about 3 years later!

Seems like foreclosure can be a lengthly process, at least for some.

It's a bad marriage. :shrug: That's what I think. I thnk this fairybook romance that she has presented to us is cracking. [/*]

Since they met in College (Art School) wouldn't she have a degree of some kind or did she drop out?? That sould get her a pretty good job.........but what do I know I'm ome nut behind a screen.......lol

They obviously, to CF, had huge financial problems.. NFs income did not meet her needs. She, from what she has been doing since he has gone missing, probably didn't meet "his" needs. Alot of arguments about money going on, I would assume because of what she has said..

Does anyone think he might have actually made it home, and...

I've wanted to chime in on this before but didn't want someone to ask if I had a psychology degree - I don't. But my niece has what is called a disassociative personality. Things can be an absolute disaster in her personal life yet if you ask her how things are going - oh my gosh they are great! She detaches herself from reality and really believes this fantasy she creates. But we know her so we have to make sure before we really believe her. Christine reminds me of this. And if this is the case, she is truly believing this picture she has painted.

You should never feel guillty about your thoughts and words even if you should find out you are wrong, as long as they were due to logic and reason as you saw and understood from your point of view.

Also, it's never to late to apologize if you are wrong. :)

And LE, by Supreme Court law are allowed to lie. They have no obligation to admit to media (or us) that they have found nothing in their financial records.

Another 7 months passed while she filed banruptcy, went to court, etc. before she had to leave her home, and she never had to make one of the past due payments. So..she lived in the house for free for 11 months. My friend didn't understand how she got by with this and neither do I. And on top of that she purchased another home about 3 years later!

Seems like foreclosure can be a lengthly process, at least for some. [/*]


Foreclosures can be very long and drawn out especially if the lending institution or borrower lives out of state.

I watched a TV show about this, and that's about all I know on this condition.

Christine seemed to want everyone, like strangers on line, to believe she lived the life, bed of roses, white picket fence, knight in shining armor for a hubby, and money was no problem. That is until now. I'm not sure what you'd call the problem or condition but something isn't right for sure. It seems I recall a post fairly early in all this where someone mentioned CF's parent's divorcing when she was young and maybe that's why she wanted so badly to portray or pretend to have the fantasy life, even if she didn't. Kind of a form of denial in that her world was rocked as a child, and as an adult but she could pretend it was all good, at least to those who didn't know any better.

He didnt just walk away.....as far as we know. His body hasnt surfaced.....yet.
I hope that he's alive, I plead for him to come forward if he is....IF
he voluntarily walked away from his life.

It took Beth Smith months to come fwd. She was alive and well. I was never angry with her, I felt just terrible pain for her situation. Same here. WE all met here daily while she was making a new life in NY. But we wrapped her w. love every day. She left her abusive husband and her children. She came back. It was very public.

If you were the only one who found CF's behavior bizarre you would be here posting to yourself, and of course you aren't.

Two boards, here and WS are loaded down with posts regarding the bizarre behavior....obviously many of us are SEEING the same thing so there must be something to it.

Didn't you follow Mark Jensen and Cynthia Sommer? The threads on those cases make this one look like a baby bunny rabbit in comparsion. Not to mention ANS which I've followed everyday for a year and a half and I'm still following it. In fact it was so bad this board doesn't even have an ANS thread any longer.

Can't really answer your questions, but your post reminded me of one I have been meaning to ask. Has CF really been erasing things from various sites? I must have missed the details on that because I've been a little confused when it is mentioned. I thought that she was just making the Flickr photos private (which actually is understandable). Maybe someone can let me know what else has actually been truly erased. Sorry to bring this up if it has already been discussed at great length....just point me to the thread here where the details are and I'll go back and re-read it, if that's easier. :confused:

As usual I'm late getting caught up on the days posts...whew! That's a lot to read!

Desmom, I heard about this earlier on our local news. I'm so glad there were no fatalities.....it's amazing really! Tornados scare the H*** out of me!!

Also, I have to say to CT....you have been able to put into words a lot of what has been on my mind about this case! I love the way your mind works!! (and the way your fingers type it out)

I really wish I could get my husband to follow this from the beginning to now. He is so good at calling things. He has been right on a number of past cases, just from hearing a few minutes new's segment. Sadly, this hasn't been on our local news, so he hasn't heard it....and he doesn't have time to follow it online.

And that is precisely what I meant when I said "CF has got all of you here subdued"(my post; 2 days ago), indirectly that is.
By making you feel guilty for saying certain things about her, she's managed to "control" what's being written here.

I think she's a manipulative individual.
Each time I read another of her heavily 'sprinkled' posts with hints "more $$ please" I can't help but shake my head in disbelief... she's certainly slick when it comes to pulling on people's heart strings. :no:
