Good Morning all,

How can anyone just disappear without a trace? The last person to have seen him was the coworker. Was there nobody on the streets that evening? Nobody saw him get in his car? I guess I just can't understand the lack of tips and/or leads in this case.

In one of the links, I believe it was the agencyspy one, someone mentioned he may have hopped on a bus. Were the bus stations checked? Train Stations? Airport?

Today my plea goes out to whomever may think they have seen him. Even if you're unsure it was Nicholas. Please come forward with any information you may have. Thank you.

Continued prayers for Nicholas. :rose:

Another plea to anybody in SeaTac area to please post flyers at bus stations, train stations and airport. If he left, it may be too late, however it may trigger someone's memory. Someone who may have seen him.

Thank you.

Good Morning n/t :seeya:

Threads are getting smaller and smaller, very sad. I wonder if they will search the Lake that Christine ask them to?

Hi Danette,

I read the post. If true, I hope they can rule out the Lake. I believe it was Lake Panther. Is that close to where he was last seen?

As for the threads getting smaller and smaller, the lack of information from LE is not helping. We have no updates whatsoever about the fingerprint analysis. And those two positive leads??? Hello? Was it Nicholas on the camera videos or not?

Very frustrating but we shouldn't give up. :rose:

Thats my understanding Lake Panther and Christine said it was close to his work, I pray she is upfront with Harlett, and none of this changing stories otherwise no one will get anywhere trying to locate Nicholas. I'm off to work, will check in later have a great day!

A lot of theories where suggested last night (catching up on my reading!) and many of them suggest that N and C had a fight and she may have been calling/nagging him at work, thus the cell phone "went dead".

Do we have any way of knowing what their ususal phone patterns were during a work day? Did they talk often? On cell or land line? Was she the type to call him at work often, or even not at all? Anyone know?

Hi caterkatt,

I don't have the answers to your questions but wanted to add one more. Did Nicholas have a direct line at work or did his calls go through a main line (receptionist or automated)?

I guess the only people who can answer those questions would be his boss and coworkers.

IIRC, Christine mentioned calling him or they spoke several times that day. Not sure if that's unusual or not. I would think during a morning or afternoon or lunch break would be more than enough but I don't know. IMO, unless there is something serious going on, I don't understand the need to talk that often. I could understand if one of the children was sick or Christine was not well, etc. but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for clarifying that. In your opinion, would there be another place (land or water) that should be searched? I know we've suggested so many but what would be the next obvious place to check.

TIA!

SeattleEddie,

How far/close is the bus station or train station from his workplace?

TIA!

The lack of information from LE is frustrating.
They asked for our help, but we don't get any more info from them at all?
I really hope if they know something and don't need our help that they will tell us!

Oops forgot....

Good Morning All!

One of NF's coworkers stated he never stopped off to see friends or to hang out.

Never?

Everyone needs a break...some type of hobby or sport....or just a little bit of me time. A couple of hours of hanging out with friends to chew the fat, boating, fishing, golf, camping, penny ante neighborhood card game....

All work and no play can lead to a very stressful life.

Good morning everyone :seeya:

I, too, have a hard time getting my head around the fact that someone can just disappear without a trace!

I hope some new information from LE is released soon--if they have any, that is.

Thanks for the link desmom.

This is what stood out at me:

The article stated: "Detective Lt. Julian P. Darman said Saturday that young MacDonald had been somewhat despondent recently. He was described as a retiring type of individual who took solitary walks and visited libraries, museums and art galleries."

====

To me that's something. It may not have lead them to the missing person but it's a sign that something was wrong. Something was bothering him.

With Nicholas, from all we've read and heard about him, he was a happy guy. Very excited about having a new baby. No unusual behaviour per wife, coworkers.

I'm stumped. :shrug:

I'd like to answer a question posed on yesterday's thread last night after I signed off. Oregaongal posted this:

I'm just back after watching a movie with my DD and I see the discussion about the PI, hiring, positng about, is there, isn't there one is still being discussed. Forgive my ignorance about this, but as I posted earlier, what is the big deal about this? Is it because there is nothing else to discuss? Is it because I've missed some importance in the whole thing? What?

IMO, if Publicis had indeed hired a PI, yet neither CF or LE know anything of it (and then Harlett not either), wouldn't this be a significant person who should be found and contacted by LE and/or CF? They could have information as to NF's disappearance that they are not under any obligation to disclose to anyone except the entity that hired them.

Also, WHY WOULD Publicis hire a PI, and then that PI not contact CF or LE? Knowing that could be a significant lead as to why NF is missing. NF was not high up in the corporate ladder at Publicis...just the fact that such a large cmpany would even bother to hire a PI in this type of case is in itself very, very atypical.

And then there is the possibility that CF did indeed know about the PI (which would likely be the case if it was the mailpen site that the information was relayed to the biz site community on - which is looking to be the case). The fact that there was a PI investigating seems like a pretty significant thing to omit telling Harlett, or omit in any further discussions/blog posts. With all of the other questions/speculation that had been answered on the *facts* list, it already is a little strange that the PI issue hadn't already been confirmed or clarified....since it has been asked/questions multiple times in the various threads here and elsewhere. Wasn't it the questions on the crime boards that prompted the creation of that blog *facts* entry?

What we do know:

NF and CF have been married 7 years, have 2 children + one on the way.

He went to work at Publicis on 2/13.

He spoke to his wife several times through the day and at the end of the day.

His coworkers reported NF said his cell phone battery was dying (or dead).

He was going to sign off on something at work and stop at Costco for organic sugar.

A coworker saw him leave the building at approx. 6:10 p.m.

He had his laptop in an orange and grey messenger bag, cell phone and ipod.

His Costco card was not used.

A coworker reported he is not one to hang out with friends or stop somewhere after work.

Their financial situation is iffy.

Per AMW, his car was seen in the Heritage Condos on 2/15 and reported on 2/18. The doors were unlocked, no sign of foul play and his laptop, ipod or cell phone were in the car.

He has not made any transactions on credit cards or bank accounts.

http://www.findnicholasfrancisco.com/ reports his hobbies are Screen printing, Fonts, Type setting, Old fashion print pressing, mechanically inclined. His passion is fonts.

Anything else?

There were two West Seattle Blogs both have been removed and replaced with one but all of the old info is gone. I believe the info about the PI was there and if I remember correctly Christine had nothing to do with that blog.

She may have read about it like everyone else but if she was never contacted then she would know nothing about a PI except what she read like everyone else.

Hi guys - after stepping back and chanting the Serenity Prayer several dozen times, I'm here :) The frustration with Christine refusing to do even simple things to help find Nicholas is puzzling, but I do not have the power to change that. Hopefully someone in Nick's family can influence her to contact TES and do simple things such as adding his pic to her blog and her MySpace.


I did some reading last night and I do believe the issue of the PI (her knowing/not knowing) is important. The blog that reported the information about the PI calls itself "Agency Spy - lurking around the watercooler". So either we believe they have inside information or it is just a rumor.

IF there is really a PI, I would think Christine would be the first one they contacted. I would think they would try to get a picture of how Nick's mind frame was. Had he been sleeping? Had he given away anything of value? Had he detached somewhat with his best friends? Then they would move on to talk to other family members, friends, co-workers, employees at Costco, the storage place, etc.

On the flip side IF there is really a PI hired by Publicis and Christine has not been notified, it does not seem as though this would be a humanitarian effort (trying to locate a husband/father/brother/son/provider) but rather something much bigger. JMO

Welcome Back Rainy :seeya:

IF there is a PI, I do not see how they can effectively do their job if they do not interview Christine. She is the person closest to him. Maybe the PI hired by Public's, IF a PI was hired, was hired for other reasons.

This case is like an onion.

So happy you're back. You made my day. As usual, excellent thought out post.

I would lean to the PI story being true. Now whether Christine knew or not remains a mystery. If she didn't, then there may be other reasons for them to not get the family involved.

Maybe CF is aware of the PI. Because of what the PI is looking for, Christine does not want to acknowledge the fact a PI is investigating NF.

I've got both of those, as well as the ABC news story bookmarked. Going to read all of the comments on all of them today to see if, and also WHEN, any information on a PI was mentioned. I don't think, IMO, if my memory serves me correctly, that the general biz community forum participants were even aware of those sites (and to thus have gleened the PI knowledge from there) until after the evening of 2/18 when it was first acknowledged in the E*** threads. But, definitely worth checking out - I'll do that while at work today.

Question for Eddie (or any others from that area)

- is the lake/park one that can be driven to and have water access within just a few feet of walking from where you park?

I've read that early on that family/friends did do searches and was this area canvassed before?

No, it was reported by LE shorty after the car was found that the keys were not in it, it was unlocked when found, and the ignition showed no signs of being tampered with (so whomever drove the car to the condo complex did so with the keys in the ignition)

they were aware of them because that was how I found them. I hadn't found this board yet. at that point I hadn't googled anything and was just following the the original thread.

Anything else?

Mornin' desmom- IRRC in the link thread, (maybe it was a daily thread?) someone had found a site that had several pics posted with Nick being in some sort of marathon/race with a group of people (maybe coworkers). He seemed very happy and very fit.

I'd consider running/jogging a hobby or an interest and wondered if he was one to do a daily jog?

In another case still unresolved, the family had neighbors that were outspoken and pretty much knew the family's routine of outside activities and even noticed when different vehicles were on the property.

Any local news reporters on this case that have spoken with neighbors?

If this PI exists, I strongly agree with you - LE should have at least verified whether this was true or not and talked to this person.

One page 2 of your link it mentions the Charley Project, one that I will post the link frequently on missing people.

<snip from your link>

In January, Meaghan Good, who operates The Charley Project missing-persons website where MacDonald's past and present lives were knitted together, received an e-mail from MacDonald's nephew, Kevin MacDonald. He wanted her to know that David *. MacDonald was no longer "missing."

"Through your site, I was contacted by a person who discovered that my uncle, missing for more than 50 years, had been alive and well, living in Seattle.

.... Without the listing of the missing person information on your website, my aunts and uncles would have never learned the fate of their brother."

I re-read every one of those threads last night up until the posting times of about midnight on 2/18, and saw no mention of any of those sites/articles.....yet did see several posters referencing the PI being hired (and not questioned by any other poster as to the source of the information....which to me meant it was *public* knowledge that all following the saga would have known)

I suppose it depends on exactly what CF reported to Harlett.

Did she say "I have not been contacted by a PI"

OR

Did she say " I don't know anything about Publicis hiring a PI"

OR

Did she say "There is no PI working on this case"


IIRC Harlett said that she was told CF had not been contacted by a PI. (too bleary eyed and low on caffine to go look for her exact statement). Which sounds to me like she may have known that there was one on the case but that she had had no contact him/her. However, like some of the rest of you, I wonder how can a PI do a proper job, regardless of who is paying and why they were hired (just to find him because he is missing, or there is a business issue that Pubicis is concerned with) if they don't talk to the spouse. Surely at some point she read the same information that we did, so if it were not true why wouldn't she correct that fact in her blog? And why after all this time would she not contact Publicis and ask about it as in . . .
- did you guys hire a PI
- Why did you hire one
- Why have I not been contacted by the PI
- What have they learned from their investigation
- Why did you not tell me you had hired one before now

I'd consider running/jogging a hobby or an interest and wondered if he was one to do a daily jog?

In another case still unresolved, the family had neighbors that were outspoken and pretty much knew the family's routine of outside activities and even noticed when different vehicles were on the property.

Any local news reporters on this case that have spoken with neighbors? [/*]

I still think it is weird that many photos were taken of him. He was usually right in the center of the photo. Who took the photos? A guy or girl co-worker? It could have been put out there on Flickr (i think) tagged with his name; so "someone" could acquire those pics without being noticed. Were that many photos taken of other coworkers in the race? Especially one that was tagged with their name?

:seeya: I would consider running/jogging a hobby also. I wonder why it is not listed on the flyer.

There are a lot of joggers/walkers in our little farming community. I would think there would be quite a few in Seattle also.

http://www.findnicholasfrancisco.com/ reports he was wearing Asics Tennis shoes. I do not know anything about brand name tennis shoes LOL! Are these considered a running shoe?

Maybe he had a stressful day and decided to take a short run. Is there a jogging path near where his car was found?

Morning everyone! I'm questioning the whole PI thing now - according to google there is only one site that mentions Publicis hiring a PI - actually two links but it seems to be the same site with different names:

http://agencyspy.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/art-director-missing-nicholas-francisco/

http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/publicis/art_director_missing_nicholas_francisco_77713.asp

So that, combined with the fact that CF was never contacted by a PI for Publicis leads me to think the author of above blogs had some misinformation. On the other hand if his info is correct then Publicis might be trying to keep their investigator very, very private! I'm getting the sinking feeling that we're never going to get any answers to any of our questions :confused: I just wish LE would come forward with something, anything at this rate - fingerprint results, just a word that he's even still missing at all! No one is saying a word, it's strange.

First I was thinking it might've been CF taking the pics as a wife would usually showcase their hubby in the frame;

but I've been googling this a.m. and only looking up links with CF's name & came across her jpgmag site where no photos of her hubby are posted.

IRRC, it seemed whoever posted that orig. link to the pics it was from some guy's photoblog thingy, however, he may have uploaded pics that others took and it may contain photos from several people's cameras.

ah, but somewhere the toast is mentioned! :tongue:

Yes, I'd think Asics would be a nice all-around shoe for running, tho so many styles out there- thinner types for sprinting, sturdier for walking- then the all-terrain.

(I'm not brand specific on most stuff except for daily needs/food items)

Being close to a lake would be a perfect place to go to after a stressful day- wonder if he or his family ever did frequent Panther Lake at all?

As we said last night Harlett said " They have not been contacted and know nothing about a PI " But CF did know since she posted on that West Seattle blog. She also totally knew about the Agency Spy site early on where it was mentioned. That agency site is the Publicis site, right? They were the ones also trying to figure out how to track his computer which I believe has been said belongs to Publicis? Also, his car keys. This has been brought up before but since they were not with the car, and most likely had their house keys on it too, wouldn't LE have told CF to change her locks immediately? Yet she never addressed this on her blog when people kept asking if she changed her locks. Anyone would want to do this. Unless you know who has your keys and you are not afraid?

At least you burned some calories. LOL

It is strange. You would think that if a person went as far as to create a website or blog for Nicholas then they would maintain it. Otherwise, what's the point? I guess it would appear in a google search and you would be able to get Nicholas' picture and stroy but people want updates. I want updates. :cuss:

Nicholas could have disappeared without any of us knowing. I'm sure people do every day and we don't hear about it. This case was brought to the media, local and national, and the public was asked to help find a missing man. Why shouldn't we be informed now? :patriot:

Great points about the house keys. If Christine believes he was murdered, wouldn't she be afraid someone wanted to do harm to her family? I know if my husband went missing without a trace, I'd be terrified of the unknowns and definitely get my house locks changed! Even if he left voluntarily, I'd get them changed!

In addition, Christine mentioned reading here and the PI was brought up several times on different days and different times, so its not like it could have been missed in one post that flew by.

...did find a mention posted on 3/11 from a blogger that mentions she's an online friend of Nick's http://mihow.com/

with the last comments being on 3/13

I'm sure this has been posted before tho since it's the one of the few online recent entries concerning his disappearance.

I do hope that anyone out there with info will decide now is the time to come forward and notify the authorities of what they know/have seen this week.

It's been more than a month now, his kids won't have him home for Easter celebrations and the authorities need to know where he can be found.

on her last post on that thread. I totally agree after just reading that. I have narrowed it down to that actually. We only have CF's words that state she called LE around 10:00 p.m. Nobody can say if NF actually came home prior to that time. That is several hours! Yes, if it had been reversed the hubby would have been raked over coals by now and investigating his every step that evening for those several hours.

I would suggest you watch the Grey Hound Bus line or any other Bus service or train service stop areas. It only costs $92 to get to Los Angeles CA and then again you should watch the Airlines: ie: Seattle airport to Honolulu.
My prayers with you.

***********************************

Why would someone specifically mention a flight to Honolulu?? I know he is of some Filipino decent, but this specific flight (even though it's listed as just an example) stands out as strange.

I just got an email from my DD who lives in South Africa and got involved with missing people cases when Maddie McCann went missing. This is what it says:

"Hi Mom

Have you been following this missing person case? (attached a poster of NF - my insert here). I showed it to S and M and they both think he looks decidedly gay. As you know, M's gaydar is usually pretty much on track. Can you send me any links you may have about this guy if you are following it?

Thanks
Love you lots
T".

The S referred to is her husband and the M is her gay sister-in-law. I must be honest, when I saw the slide show of NF with all the marathon pictures, that was my first thought too. I had an uncle who was gay who just left his wife and kids to go off with a chap 29 years his junior. Nobody heard from him for 7 years until he resurfaced because the youngster had been through his money and he had Aids and could not afford treatment.

I'm not sure what I think happened in this case but this isn't something I'm totally disregarding. I'm not talking about the Aids aspect at all though. JMVHO

Her not mentioning the PI was an issue because it was published that one had been hired by the employer. Now we are told that she has not had any contact with a PI. So the concern (not criticism) is that if there is a PI on the case why haven't they talked to CF, if in fact they haven't. And if she knows that there isn't a PI involved why did she not correct that misinformation?

And if she knows that there isn't a PI involved why did she not correct that misinformation?

Not everything that is posted is a criticism of CF in spite of what some want to think!!hammer [/*]

Seems no matter what happens it is a concern that CF is wrong and it just leads to pg after pg of trying to find anything to be "concerned" about. I have read ALL the threads from the beginning that is why I had to reply to that other post insinuating CF was lying. All last night and so far this morning ya'll have been searching to prove it was a web site somewhere that CF made the announcement. I am simply informing you "some' already know she did not mention it because it is on THIS forum .

saydeezmom, I don't recall camping being discussed here but I work and sometimes miss posts. Do you happen to have a link that I can take a look at?

Hi Danette,

I read the post. If true, I hope they can rule out the Lake. I believe it was Lake Panther. Is that close to where he was last seen?

As for the threads getting smaller and smaller, the lack of information from LE is not helping. We have no updates whatsoever about the fingerprint analysis. And those two positive leads??? Hello? Was it Nicholas on the camera videos or not?

Very frustrating but we shouldn't give up. :rose: [/*]

sorry to drag this over from page 1, but did Christine mention Lake Panther? I know a poster by the name of INVReporter(some numbers) mentioned it around March 14th that it would be a good place to start. Why does this particular lake keep coming up?

Invreporter is the one who posted it on last night's thread. Not sure where he/she got this information from. IIRC, an online chat with Christine????

SeattleEddie confirmed that Lake Panther is behind the complex where his car was found and there's a Lake Panther Park. Page 1 of this thread.

Perhaps it is because some of us perceive that there have been quite a few inconsistancies in what CF has posted around the internet. And some of us want to know 1) if there is in fact a PI on the case 2) if so have they talked to CF (Harlett has stated that they have not so on to #3) 3) If a PI is investigating and has not spoken to CF (again Harlett has stated they haven't and I believe her) why haven't they, 4) if CF knew that no PI was on the case why didn't correct that information that was all over the internet when she gave the "facts" on her blog 4) If she believed that a PI was on the case based on what she learned from the internet why has she apparently not asked Publicis about it:confused:

Some of us are just looking for ANY information that could help solve the numerous unanswered questions that plague this case.

Also, another thing I thought of last night and that was Christine's reference to some dream she had of Nicholas being near water.

Could that be another clue? Maybe some of us think the worse but what if it really meant, he's vacationing somewhere on a beach. Yes, maybe even sipping Margueritas in Mexico as she pointed out in one of the interviews.

Who knows. [/*]

Christine said she wanted LE scuba divers to dive Panther Lake. I assume she is thinking that his body may be found there. I hope you are right, though.

I am sure I have done as many internet searches as any here. I have taken the time to read ALL the threads here many at the biz site. I have all the snide remarks, been accuses of being CF, laughed at, mocked plus other things on this forum. I have heard of others getting threating pm's.

There is something wrong when that happens on a forum where everyone should have an opinion. Those actions do not come from concerned people. All I am doing is stating my opinion which does not suit some. But it is still my opinion.

If LE does read here what do you believe they think about all the veiled posts about the victims wife? Do ya'll think you have convinced them of her guilt , conviction and now all they have to do is give her a sentence?

I am also very interested in just what LE think.

My parents had a man in their church who was married but one day just up and left his wife. He went on a business trip and didn't come home. I'm not sure if the wife called police....she knew what was up. He had been struggling, since their early marriage, with homosexual attractions.
He did finally call home and told his wife he had found a lover and was filing for divorce. It was all so cut and dried for him but she was devastated. Fortunately, they had no children.
I'm not so sure she ever got over it but she had a lot of support. I remember feeling so angry on her behalf. Sure, he had a right to his life, but I felt the way he went about it was crushing.
Could this be the case with Nicholas?

It would explain a lot....like why they left their church, why Christine would say "he's no coward," why she would be so angry at the world, why she feels "dumped on" by their financial responsibilities......why she would respond "these kids have no daddy." [/*]

I think this idea was brought up a while back and may have been the reason that CF stated that NF was not gay.

It seems like a reasonable scenario to me and one that some may not have considered. Thanks for mentioning it.

All i want is for Nicholas to be found safe and be able to come home.
I was out running errands today and i saw this man over by a car. I looked really carefully, cuz at first i thought, "Nicholas????" I have a hard time thinking he would be this far away from home though.
The closer i looked it definately wasn't him.
And then i thought i was just seeing things....... *sigh*

Hi. Rainy. The reason I mentioned that Panther Lake would be a good place to start is because CF told me she was trying to get a dive team there to search. I also think this would be a good place to search because it is so close to Heritage Condos.

I don't think I can rule out the gay theory here...I mean, it's possible...happens alot more than we think and. you're right, it would explain alot of CF's reactions. I'd put it somehwere below foul play and above alien abduction.

I have no problem for those of you that don't agree w/ the majority.
We're all adults here i think and i wish we could have different opinions w/out causing trouble.
Some can do it.
A select few cannot seem to do it.
I'm tired of getting "attacked" everytime we say something negative about Christine.
All we want is to find Nicholas.
She is is his wife.
She is in the whole picture.
And it's been said sooooooo many times.....if Christine was the one missing, Nicholas would be looked at bigtime.
I wonder if some of these people do the same thing when Drew or Scott Peterson is being looked at???
Probably not.....

I think this is a valid point being made. This does happen and could be a reason for him wanting to leave and not shame his family but still be true to himself.

I, personally don't think that is the case. As another poster pointed out... I think this might be a question of where you are from and what you are used to seeing. He looks very yuppyish (not in a bad way).. very metrosexual and would fit right in here in Seattle. No body would question that.

I also am always amazed when people say they can tell by a photo if someone is gay or not. I have seen men that I NEVER would have thought were gay.. that are. Ones that seem like they would be more inclinded to be and are not. Anymore it is so hard to tell just by looking at someone unless they are the extremely feminine type.

I think that is a great place to start. I have never been there. Wonder how big it is. Gonna have to go check it out on mapquest. It does seem logical to look around there since his car was found there. I know they searched some woods or some such thing that was around the complex.

I believe and it is only my opinion that something happened to throw NF's world into a spin. I believe on top of the normal woes of everyday life, long work hours, not a lot of sleep, money tight that something happened to push him over the limit of endurance.

I firmly feel again, my opinion, someone who simply disliked CF saved copies of those chat logs, after goating her into saying something perhaps she shouldn't and probably would have never said if not for being manipulated by those good at the type of game.

Christians are not taught or prepared to deal with those in this world that get a big thrill out of playing with innocent people's lives. I have experienced this in my life.

It would have been a very simple matter to get NF's e-mail by anyone on that Biz site. I firmly believe in my opinion that those saved chats were given to NF at a time when it was simply too much for him to deal with. The hurt on top of all the other every day stresses were just more than he could deal with and he had to get away and deal with all this in a peaceful environment.

I also think God will deal with all involved, in the end his will and his word will be heard.

Add to that, the "Sexual Sin" sermon on February 3rd (which coincidentally was his last sermon at the church) and the fact that if you listen to the sermon, it speaks directly about homosexuality and the "sinners" that lead this lifestyle. Coincidence? Maybe.

JMO [/*]
I thought their last sermon was on the 10th? They didn't go on the 10th at all?

Plus with Nicholas being a christian. If he is out there.. I wonder what is going through his head and heart with Easter approaching. He has small children and Easter is such an important day for christians. I find it hard that he would or could easily miss that day with his family or children at the very least.

If I * knew * as Christine knew ( and she did since it was on that agency site early) that Publicis had hired a PI, then I would be asking them why and to keep me updated. Unless of course I already knew why ( as I think CF does ) therefore there would be no need to ask my hubby's former employer why. Probably Publicis knows why too. Also the mom & sisters. As we all know their silence is telling. I think NF has probably contacted them. Otherwise they would still be VERY much in the media and begging for help searching etc. They grew silent at the same time as Greta and Nancy. I think some inside knowledge surfaced around that time. There is also the Catholic angle. He was raised very Catholic from all we have heard. His sisters are still very involved in the Catholic church. Maybe CF convinced him to change against his wishes. I had no idea until last year how deeply some of this Catholic stuff goes. Not always but sometimes and some of them cannot leave it behind so he might would walk away from his current life and back to his roots.

Spending money on the material as well; would have been another thing that maybe could have been spent on a new toy for the kids or clothing for the kids.....
It could have been just too much for him. I can really see that....

We also do not know if HE was actually given a pink slip that week at work OR if he was going to have to lay off others, that also could have been a huge rock on his shoulders....if true.

hmmm CT, after reading your post, I just thought of something. He was promoted to Art Director in the summer. Did he fill an empty position within the company or was someone fired and he was chosen to replace the person? I wonder.

I'm tired of getting "attacked" everytime we say something negative about Christine.
All we want is to find Nicholas.
She is is his wife.
She is in the whole picture.
And it's been said sooooooo many times.....if Christine was the one missing, Nicholas would be looked at bigtime.
I wonder if some of these people do the same thing when Drew or Scott Peterson is being looked at???
Probably not.....
just saying....... [/*]

I'm sorry but I don't believe "you" are being attacked but Christine is being defended.


I know it would be nice for some to have a place where you can criticize and destroy a persons reputation because you don't like them but it isn't going to be here I am afraid. There may only be a few of us that are willing to stand up for her but we are still here.
You can call us any names you want and ignore our posts but we will still defend her because she needs a voice here since she shouldn't come here herself.

It would have been a very simple matter to get NF's e-mail by anyone on that Biz site. I firmly believe in my opinion that those saved chats were given to NF at a time when it was simply too much for him to deal with. The hurt on top of all the other every day stresses were just more than he could deal with and he had to get away and deal with all this in a peaceful environment.


I missed this. What was this about? Or if someone could tell me date and page I can look it up myself. Totally missed this.

Here is what I have found in my hours of reading past articles, comments and threads this morning:

The first mention on the E*** thread about a PI being hired was in this thread http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5475232 which was started at 6:21pm EST on 2/18. The PI reference is first mentioned on the post on the bottom of page 22. The only outside E*** links in that thread, or the other threads started before then were to the couple of news articles that had been written at that time, the link to the church blog http://voxpopnetwork.com/westseattle/2008/02/17/urgent-message-regarding-nicholas-francisco/ and the (at the time) official site for information: http://mailpen.net There were no links or reference to the agensyspy blog, WSB, WS or this site as of the time of the post mentioning the PI....8:07pm EST 2/18. I have not yet finished re-reading all of the remaining E*** threads/posts that were written after 10:00pm EST on 2/18 (got through some, but not all yet)

There is no mention of a PI being hired in the article or comments on the church blog.....but there is a link to the mailpen site. The entry on AgensySpy was posted on 2/18....but a direct link to direct the E*** was not, up until the evening of 2/18, made known. It, or a synopsis of that article, was likely what was put up on the official info site http://mailpen.net and is the only logical source for the E*** to have known about it, at that point in time.

The next (in time sequence) reference I could find was in the comments on the ABC News story that was published on 2/21. There is a comment regarding the PI being hired posted on 2/22 (comment by 693mik). http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=4325797&page=1 http://abcnews.go.com/US/comments?type=story&id=4325797

I read all of the almost 400 comments on the West Seattle Blog entries, including the one with over 350 which CF and many E*** posted to. There is NO mention of a PI in any of those comments. This blog entry was posted on 2/19 @ 12:10pm (I'm assuming that is PDT) http://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=5841#postcomment

I also re-read all of the initial threads both here and on WS. The first mention of a Publicis hired PI on WS was on 2/25 @ 1:18pm http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60495&page=11 (referencing information that had previousy been read about) The first appearance that I could find here in the IS boards was also on 2/25 @ 3:21pm EST, also referencing information previously read about http://boards.insessiontrials.com/showthread.php?threadid=324735&perpage=40&pagenumber=11

If anyone else has been able to find either a source that was made known to the E*** community that was following the story there, or can find earlier references on any other of the sites I looked at, let me know. From what I can surmise, and this is JMO....the hiring of a PI was made known to E*** through the mailpen.net site......and if that is indeed the case then CF would likely have known about it.

Thats a lot of work MC - been there, done that. I know she had to be reading the posts because she would comment on things members were saying. I know she told people to shut up when they were concerned there was a virus link. She also commented that Nick's phone did not have GPS and all of that was because she was responding to the dialogue between the members in previous pages. I wonder why she didn't correct them or ask them where they got the idea there was a PI.

Point Blank, that really bothered me.

Morning, Cat Toy

I think the " uncovered " in my opinion relates to a few Bible verses that say " Nothing is covered that shall not be Uncovered". I could probably look up some verses and put them here but might be against TOS or considered O/T. My intention is not to attack you but just think this is the explanation for that phrase.

I'm thinking more along the lines that LE would want to know if Publicis did indeed hire a PI....and if so contact that PI and Publici to find out WHY and what this PI found (if anything), and why the PI had not reached out to LE or CF. That, to me is a big concern.

Even though it may have been rumor that a PI was hired, it was stated in enough places that I would think CF would want to know any information the PI might have or to confirm if one was hired. Of course if Publicis is paying the bill, the PI reports to Publicis. IMO

Big concern indeed. Perhaps their (Publics') vested interest is not Nicholas personally but instead professionally. If the laptop belonged to the company (I'm still unsure of this) or if Nicholas was found to have compromised the companies trust in some way. He did a lot of freelance work, maybe Public's caught on to that and maybe it was against company policy. We don't know the reason why Public's hired a PI, IF they did.

Saydeezmom -- it's so hard to explain to someone who has never been in chat at E***. The regular rooms are run by crappy homemade chat client and there is no way to log it as a regular user. I can barely keep up when it's busy because as people "chat", what was said at the top disappears and you cannot scroll back to see what was said.

I won't discount that someone could have been so annoyed by her, that they snipped a few things to Notepad, but you cannot log the regular chat rooms. Also, to be honest, she is not who I would say is an E*** personality. Yes, her sales were on the high end, but there are many others who are more prominent and vocal who would be more of a target (so to speak).

That said, since NF was starting up a store on his own, maybe he stumbled into a chat and saw for himself. I don't always notice who has come into a chat there unless they speak. You can just lurk.

I agree with that and I also wondered if CF was managing his E store for him and just gave him the jobs. I am sure he didn't need another thing to keep track of.

and if the company did hire a PI and it was only to help find Nick then I would think the company would let CF know what was going on.
If they did hire a PI and didn't let her know then I would say it was for more than just finding Nick.

All work and no play can lead to a very stressful life.


jmo [/*]


I'm with you on that.


Maybe it all became too much for him.
From things I've read, he sure seemed like the perfect dad & husband. Not only did he have a regular job outside the home but he also had to prep kid's breakfast in the morning as well bring CF her a.m. coffee, run errands and make cookies with his kids after work. Talk about a busy day!
As I said before, maybe he didn't feel appreciated, perhaps he even felt 'used' and decided he wouldn't put up w/it anymore and walked... MOO

IMO:
NF: Realistic, independent, dependable, submissed?(type)
CF: Irrealistic, dependent, overbearing, controling?

You are right RainyNiteNTx: (by the way it is pouring here in Dallas) But then you can find all sorts of stuff about them on the internet. Until his disappearance; it seemed that so much of their and their children's lives were displayed to the world. From both him and her. Looks like they made time for that.

I wanted to bring something else up because everyone seem to just gloss over this.

the reporter stated that Christine was trying to arrange to have the lake dragged, which means that she is actually doing something for all those that think she sits at home doing nothing.

Wasn't Harlett's statement that CF told her that she had not talked to a PI? It wasn't (as I recall) that she did or did not know if one was on the case.

From the little bit I have heard about Mars Hill Church someone had said that they believe the woman should have many children. I would guess along with that the wife would probably stay at home to take care of them as well. This church has the mystique like Scientology does, I would be interested in knowing more about it.

She wasn't. I guess I'm looking at it more for trying to determine a reason for NF disappearing, and finding him. (which is what I thought we were all here to try and do) If his company, Publicis, or a PI knows something, it is reaaly horrible, IMO, of them to not share this information with LE and NF's family (including CF). If there were another *known* possible reason for NF's leaving, then possible the focus of all of the discussions could shift to that instead of always coming back to CF being behind whatever happened. If CF did know about the PI, and even the reason why they were hired and what they found and has chosen not to reveal those things.....then that opens up a whole other series of questions and concerns.

Hi Jazmine,

I know there were a few links about the church posted. There should be some in the Links thread or maybe someone else can help provide you with one.

Unfortunately, I'm at work so I can't save links here.

the wife was not the only one to say this.
one of his friends or co-workers said that he was very excited but I couldn't remember which one or where because at the time I had read so many links they had become a blur.
I don't care if you believe me or not but I did read it from someone who was not related and it had actually come from Nick.

The bus station and train station are not close to his work, i.e. not within within walking distance. But they are very close on a bus. It's like, his work would be on the outer outer edges of one end of downtown Seattle and the bus and train station would be on the outer outer edge of the other end.

His work isn't technically downtown, it's in a district that skirts downtown. The bus station is close to downtown proper, and the train station is right next to the baseball and football stadiums (which are on the south end of the business district).

I will try to get a map to highllight all three.

Someone mentioned earlier there was a game at Safeco field (the baseball stadium) that night, as rationale for why he wouldn't drive on a certain street, I think. It was one of the fan club who mentioned that. I am going to look in to that. I don't think baseball has started yet.

I haven't caught up yet, so maybe all these points have been covered.....

I agree that it would not be nice if the company found something out and did not tell his wife. But companies don't seem to care much about people anymore, only their reputations and how much money they can make so nothing surprises me.

No they weren't covered. Thanks SE! The map would be great, if you have the time.

So he could've hopped on a public bus to get to whatever destination he was headed to. Maybe get to a Greyhound bus terminal or train station or even the airport? Or someone could've given him a ride.

On one of the written transcripts of an interview, CF uses NF in the past tense. She says Nicholas loved us...loves us. I am going to go back and find it. I think it was the one that SeattleMatt transcribed.

In that instant a red flag should have been thrown. In the case of Scott Peterson, the Diane Sawyer interview, he did the same thing. All sorts of flags went up then. He even tried to squeeze out some tears...just like CF. IN MY OPINION ONLY!

I'll say this again. It is not that questions should NOT be asked. They may very well should be asked.

So he could've hopped on a public bus to get to whatever destination he was headed to. Maybe get to a Greyhound bus terminal or train station or even the airport? Or someone could've given him a ride. [/*]

Hi Eddie,

I believe that his friend, Matt, said that he had talked to Nicholas and Nicholas was excited about the new baby.

It was in one of the interviews Matt did on tv. I tried to access the interview from the Donovan site and wasn't successful.

If someone has those interviews, then correct me if I am wrong, please.

Is there any proof from phone records that Christine actually talked to Nick before he left?

I didn't. because I read his posts. I analyzed what his questions were and what they were asking. At that point I believed him because of what I stated.


Last week Harlett made a post and I knew by the post that she was helping Christine. Two days later someone announced it and everyone was surprised.

instead of trying to think about your next attack on me, if you looked at the posts I reference maybe you would find some answers too.

Did you read it first, Decor? Or did the reporter writing that story not report correctly?

"
But even invreporter1105 said Friday he couldn't be sure the photos he released were undoctored. He said he put them out to illustrate the pain that Shawn might have suffered at Devlin's hand. He's not a reporter or a cop. He's just a guy in Kentucky with a computer. And now he's a little famous."

And if there's no proof that she actually talked to him, then why are we believing that?
There's simple stuff like caller id and stuff right?
Maybe she never even talked to him......
and
maybe he just left w/ his gf....
maybe......

after a while combined attacks all become a blur as to who is making them. I don't even look to see who is posting half of the time, I just read the posts.
the comment said, meant that no one wanted to be bothered asking, no one wanted to be bothered to look up the posts, I did found the post and posted it and then the response is ,
see, all we needed was a link.

I thought the idea was to figure what happened or at least help to figure it out. If no one can be bothered to actually look at things because they want all of the blame to go to Christine then they aren't going to come up with very much in my opinion..

To be honest it never entered my mind to google a screen name. I've googled all day so if I had thought it might lead somewhere I would have.

Hi Eddie :seeya:

I saw that this morning, that all the articles were still there. But on the one that has over 300 comments it says something like all comments older than 3 weeks are removed. Are you able to see all comments? [/*]


I read that notation (which is on all of the entries) to mean that it had been three weeks without any comments, so the ability to comment had been closed. There are definitely older comments there......they start from as soon as the entry was posted.....but there weren't any after the end of Feb, early March (guess folks stopped commenting there and had moved on)

OK, After having my fanny spanked quite soundly by Musterion last nite (and without cause, I might add), I had determined to lurk only and not post for a while.
Alas, I can't help myself! But just as an alert---my guards are up! (and I'm sitting on a cushion to ease the stinging pain)...

My parents had a man in their church who was married but one day just up and left his wife. He went on a business trip and didn't come home. I'm not sure if the wife called police....she knew what was up. He had been struggling, since their early marriage, with homosexual attractions.
He did finally call home and told his wife he had found a lover and was filing for divorce. It was all so cut and dried for him but she was devastated. Fortunately, they had no children.
I'm not so sure she ever got over it but she had a lot of support. I remember feeling so angry on her behalf. Sure, he had a right to his life, but I felt the way he went about it was crushing.
Could this be the case with Nicholas?

It would explain a lot....like why they left their church, why Christine would say "he's no coward," why she would be so angry at the world, why she feels "dumped on" by their financial responsibilities......why she would respond "these kids have no daddy." [/*]

LOL! I don't believe in spanking!

And, as you said last night, you were just trying to be funny. If that is the case then I do give you the benefit of the doubt and apologize!

What I do believe in, though, is trying to be fair and give the benefit of the doubt to most everyone. Including Christine in these circumstances. JMO.

I just PMed you to keep it on topic on the board. But yes I have been reading and that bit I just quoted from the article Kindra linked to says he is not a reporter.

Or am I totally misunderstanding something?

Words mean alot....
names, titles, music, poetry, etc...
when you "google" something, you can find out alot about a word or about something or about someone.....
i don't know if i'm making sense, but sometimes people leave "clues" or "hints' about themselves that you might not think mean anything, but when you look deeper, you find out more than you thought you would....
maybe Nicholas was trying to do this...
he wanted to be heard???
when you google "so yesterday"....there are the lyrics to that song.....

If it's over, let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away

Thank you... you made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
Do you see a single tear
It isn't gonna happen here
At least not today

i dunno.....i guess i'm rambling....
but sometimes we all just want to be heard....
think....what was going through his head????

ETA ~ I volunteered with an area S & R team many moons ago. A local physician worked very closely with us on drownings. He was quite good at looking at water temp, weather conditions, body weight and current to determine a time frame when and where a body would surface. He was always within a couple of hours and 50 yards. I am sure with all the water in the Seattle area, there would be someone that could also provide the same information.

Nicholas did not just quote passages to impress anyone, he was making a statement. [/*]

Sounds like he did get some information others were not able to get - perhaps he can do that with this case. Anything to help find Nicholas.
