That's why it's called a "secret". Do you share all your secrets with your best friend?

No need to answer.

Yes. Somebody would know something.

I don't think it was spousal abuse or a random crime. I think, if he was murdered, it was premeditated and very precisely carried out.

I honestly don't believe he came home, but that's just my opinion. Wouldn't the neighbor's have seen him? jmo [/*]


Were the neighbours even interviewed? No mention of that either.

Hi folks,

IIRC one or more of the earliest news articles reported that the hospitals had been contacted, either by family or by LE.

I don't have time to search for links tho, so, consider it JMO... [/*]

Yes, I remember seeing an article by the Sgt. stating that hospitals were checked.

I agree she didn't know.

If Nicholas left on his own, I don't believe that CF knew he was going to leave. I think that Nicholas hid his alleged 'other' life very well. I think it has blindsided Christine and everyone that knew Nicholas. Not one person has come forward publically to say that they knew him to be the kind of guy to leave or to have another life. They all seem in shock. JMO. [/*]

Quiet doesn't necessarily mean in shock. Wife seems to be the one with the wanting the truth to be revealed whereas his mom's last words in an interview were she was hoping someone was not out to persecute him.

We may have two conflicting sides of what may have happened to Nicholas.

I don't see those as conflicting at all. CF may want him "exposed" for the 'evil" he did and wanting to know who his new love interest is; and mom knows where he is and doesn't want him persecuted over this whole mess.

That's true! Quiet doesn't mean shock.

I'm not sure what you mean by CF wanting the truth to be revealed of Nicholas' disappearance being conflicting with his mom's words: “I’ve only been praying that if someone is persecuting my son, I pray for their heart to be softened so that my son can be brought back to us safely,” Rosann Francisco said.

For this age group...I am not so sure they or anyone aware of a "they" would be "willing to come forward to give information" to LE, CF or anyone else.

No one would be obligated to inform "us". Right?

Just askin'.

:shrug: [/*]

LE would close the case then. Whether they would tell us directly... I imagine that word would get out pretty quickly. There are a handful of people on 3 different boards that I know about that are in fairly regular contact with LE. And I'd like to think the LE would feel some sort of responsibility to communicate that the case has been closed, considering the level of consistent interest this case has generated. Also he would be taken off the state missing persons list, I'm sure. (Just as I heard that Viliamu Fale has been taken off that list.)

Information could be given anonymously, but then I think LE would need to verify it independently unless there was also some "proof" provided by the anonymous tipster.

did anyone notice that CF posted twice on the Supporting CF site, with a picture of herself, and now those two posts have been removed. She was talking about the move, and the search...

I wonder why those were removed?

I don't think LE knows where Nicholas is because they wouldn't keep telling us that the case is still being investigated if they had located him.

What 'evil' did he do? Can you provide a link to where it is reported that NF has a new love interest? Or a link where it says that mom knows where he is?

This is rediculous! Please include a 'jmo', 'imo', or 'moo' stating this is your opinion if you have no link.

Thanks in advance.

I wasn't trying to bash CF- The posts were from a few days ago, after she and the kids moved. There wasn't anything that seemed inflammatory, or weird at all. Just that they were removed, is all.
Information seems to pop up and then disappear.

The people he is around could easily think Christianity was dumb and he was smart to get away. They also might even be people who 15k just isn't enough to turn in a friend who hasn't broken a law. The people may not think like many of you do but feel they are much more open minded.

I'm guessing he is with new friends who just don't feel money is important enough to break his confidence.

Seeing how many people hate/dislike Christine maybe they feel the same.

I would also guess that when all the talk dies down he'll get in touch and deal with the kids, but as long as everyone wants a part of him he isn't coming out.

We don't really know for a fact what people he could be around at this moment. In fact, I don't believe he walked away at all. jmo [/*]

True but you see I think I know which group of people he has been around and I know some people in that group. If he doesn't want to be found and since he hasn't broken a law they aren't going to give him up. I can't prove it but I believe time will tell. No they aren't going to tell me if he is with them and if they did then I couldn't tell anyway.

No one could believe the minister's wife could walk away either, but she did.

Silver_Dove,

I think you need to call the King Country Sherriff's Office. Or rather, I think they need to get a warrant for your IP address so they can come talk to you.

How could you possibly know if Nick were around these people unless they told you or you saw him yourself? There would be no reason for you to beleive he is around these people otherwise.

There are alot of people speculating and worrying about him, so you need to report anything you know. Why wouldn't you report it anyway? Your posts are very suspicious.

You keep mentioning group of people and IIRC one of your posts mentioned community.

I have no idea what you're referring to but if you think you know Nick is/was hanging out with these people "in that group" why don't you do something? Have you contacted LE? Have you contacted his wife, his family to let them know?

Why post this information on a message board and not do anything about it?

Maybe conflicting is not the right choice of words but the way I interpret these 2 statements is the wife wanting the truth to be exposed and maybe she thinks Nicholas did run off on her and wants him to pay for what he's done but the mom hopes someone is not harming him for something he may or may not have done but hopes whoever is doing this to him will let him go. She mentions "brought back to us safely". Does she think he's being harmed by someone who is trying to persecute him?

This scenario (foul play) seems the most reasonable explanation for me, personally.

IMO if you've looked at all of NF's online information, it's pretty clear that the Franciscos enjoyed a community that probably looks (and behaves) differently than most of yours might.

Also IMO plenty of info is already known to LE and we are watching a waiting game.

And also too: Nothing wrong with anyone else's contacting LE with what has been posted on the boards, if you think it is important, and even if you don't understand it.

Just because any one or all of us does something about this, does NOT mean NF will be found. I know it's all worth a shot, but even with several people having watched this from the very start, "we" still are no closer to knowing where he is or what happened that night.

My assumption is that if you see something in a board discussion that seems like a lead, or even only a relevant question that could turn up a new angle, YOU will report it directly to LE. Please let's don't berate each other for inaction.

I am still puzzled by, well, his having left his family at all, but also by the art left behind, so I don't know anymore what to think about whether he walked or foul play. But if he walked, and is still alive, I am in total agreement with this:

Thanks for clarifying your interpretation. Sometimes it is hard to understand what someone is trying to say!

Nicholas' mom made that statement, I think it is was less than a week after he went missing. At that point it is likely that she believed he was abducted and being held. That's how I understood what she was saying. And that she prayed that whoever had him would set him free to come home.

I don't know, after this long, if she still believes that he is being held somewhere. There's been no statements that I know of with what his mom thinks.

CF said in her last blog entry that no matter what she won't stop searching for NF and that she prays the truth will come out about his disappearance. I interpret that to mean that she just wants to know. I don't read any vindictiveness into that. (Not saying you are saying that n/t). Or that she wants him to somehow pay for what he's done to his family. I read that she just wants an answer to what happened to him. Which is normal, to me, for anyone with a loved one missing, to ask and pray and want. JMO.

It seems to me that she is doing what so many others do when a loved one goes missing. Ask for LE's help. Have a website created for the missing person. Enlist a private investigator if you can. Rely on the efforts of friends and family and volunteers to help you continue the search. Pray, pray, pray.

I think she is doing the best that she can especially under the circumstances that she has found herself and her children in. JMO.

It seems most cases come to a point where attention dies down. Unfortunately. The media takes up other more immediate news stories. People who helped initially go back to their lives. Leads dry up. But, it sounds like she won't give up and that is a good thing. IMO.

Oh come on the police already know where he could be, they can't get a warrant because there is no crime. They aren't going to spend the huge amounts of money it would cost to put out surveillance for a man who if they are correct would be alive.

Think about it why has everyone backed off including the police if they don't lean more toward he is alive and they just can't find him. They boards don't have all the information. Neither do I just a different point of view.

Yes just so you know the LE do know exactly what I know plus more I'm sure.

That was exactly my point. If SD believes she thinks she knows Nicholas is hanging out with some "group" or "community", why not report it. Who knows, it may lead to a tip.

I guess I'm stuck on the word "revealed".

=====


Usage: See Communicate. -- Reveal, Divulge. To reveal is literally to lift the veil, and thus make known what was previously concealed; to divulge is to scatter abroad among the people, or make publicly known. A mystery or hidden doctrine may be revealed; something long confined to the knowledge of a few is at length divulged. "Time, which reveals all things, is itself not to be discovered." --Locke. "A tragic history of facts divulged." --Wordsworth.

Actually I think you are right about LE not wanting to use funds to find Nicholas (get proof)...even when they have clues as to where he is.

Now heres the BIG QUESTION.....since Christine receives updates from LE which would contain any info that they have found, why the #&U(( is she not out there trying to find him?????:cuss:

I was responding to SD's post that LE may suspect where he is but may not want to use funds to prove it. I was responding that """"IF"""""" this was true ....then why isn't Christine personally trying to find proof.....that may not have come across as "speculation", if it did not I apologize. I thought the word """if""" would be a major clue.

Since you were quoting me let me say it could take me months to trace him down if I went looking. I also know people, who know people but it would still take time and energy. She has two small children and I would guess doesn't have the contacts.

Most of of the people I knew very well wouldn't say anything if he is alive.

Not really much of anything at all at this point. A few things have been followed up on that did not produce any information that could help in finding Nicholas. Someone is going back to the condos agan this weekend to keep asking people in the area if they have seen, or remember seeing Nic.. maybe if we keep going back there enough we will come across someone that remembers something... LE knows we are doing this.

Thanks for the update.

Glad to hear someone is going back to the condos. I wish it would've been done weeks ago but I guess it's better late than never.

Do you know if the car is still with LE or was it released? Also, I think it would be a good idea to get search dogs out there again. I believe it's crucial they check Publicis and the "up here" again. Safeway perhaps or wherever he used the ATM machine.

What would it take to have than happen? Would hiring a private firm help?

There has been someone at the condos the past 3 weekends asking questions, handing out fliers/posting fliers...

There is a group of about 100 people that are going to be cleaning up one of the parks this weekend and they are going to be keeping an eye out for anything that may have belonged to Nicholas, laptop, phone, keys etc... one of the posters at Websleuths got that taken care of.

Wonderful news! What park? Is it Panther Lake Park? Wish I could be there. *sigh*

What about search dogs? Do you know if that's a possibility? If a private firm is needed, I'll help chip in. I think they should get the dogs out there again specifically where he withdrew the money?

Did LE confirm where he withdrew the $50.00? Was it at Safeway, close to Publicis?

When are the searches being held? I know you said this weekend but is it on Saturday or Sunday? What time?

I'll light a candle hoping they find something , some clue as to what may have happened to Nicholas. :rose:

I believe it was Kinnear Park that's scheduled and it's next weekend, 4/26. I know they have a list of what items to be watching for.. I hope that list gets passed on from park to park as they are being cleaned.

As for the ATM, I don't have that information.

LE doesn't seem to think it would be beneficial at this point in time to do a search of the area around the condos. Nicholas' vehicle was found at the condo, but as of now there is nothing indicating that he was ever there. I think if something comes up that shows he was there, then they may do a search.

It's not actually a search n/t.. it's a group that is cleaning the park and they are going to watch for things that may have belonged to Nicholas.. it's Saturday 4/26... I was a week ahead thinking it was this weekend.

Yes, I realized after I posted that you indeed say it was cleaning the park but looking for anything that may have belonged to him is a big step forward.

Usage: See Communicate. -- Reveal, Divulge. To reveal is literally to lift the veil, and thus make known what was previously concealed; to divulge is to scatter abroad among the people, or make publicly known. A mystery or hidden doctrine may be revealed; something long confined to the knowledge of a few is at length divulged. "Time, which reveals all things, is itself not to be discovered." --Locke. "A tragic history of facts divulged." --Wordsworth.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/revealed [/*]

Hi n/t,

The page you are referencing seems to me to say that reveal is to lift the veil and make known what was previously concealed. Divulge is to publish, which can assume make public. Reveal and divulge are two instances they are giving of communication.

The way I'm reading it and the etymology and other dictionaries I referenced for reveal don't seem to support that an assumption would be made that it means publicly. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php

divulge: 1460, from L. divulgare "publish, make common," from dis- "apart" + vulgare "make common property," from vulgus "common people."

reveal: c.1375, from O.Fr. reveler (14c.), from L. revelare "reveal, uncover, disclose," lit. "unveil," from re- "opposite of" + velare "to cover, veil," from velum "a veil"

If I'm understanding correctly you are troubled by thinking that Christine wants what happened to Nicholas to be revealed publicly? If that is true, why would that trouble you? JMO.

With all due respect, I have to disagree with you on that, Silver_Dove. Friends protecting friends not too long ago resulted in a 26 year old man being killed, decapitated, and set on fire!

This is serious. A man is missing. People are looking for Nicholas and want to know he is alive at the very least. Seems to me a friend would at least let that be known as part of a civic duty. JMO

Hi, CT.

I, as many other persons following this case, have a full-time job which supports my needs. Rather than accepting any reward, I would suggest that the reward fund be spent on finding Nicholas.

Hi inv~ I think it would be a great thing if the reward money was utilized to purchase billboard ads, pay for the cost of fliers being put up at rest stops and truck stops in the state, help with the cost of food and supplies needed for a search team like TES or to help offset the cost of other types of searches like SAR dogs or divers, buy air time, what have you.

Of course it does seem that statistically the majority of MP that end up being harmed are found by a hiker, hunter, fisherman, survey crew, etc. that don't have an LE background or know anything about a reward.

About divers, LE has a volunteer search and rescue dive team. And they are choosing not to utilize that resource for some reason.

IME MP that were harmed/killed are found by any of the above, or by joggers or dogs that happen to cross the location of the body at such a time as decay and weather conspire to let anyone within sniffing distance know for sure that something is definitely WRONG. And in Seattle that time is coming within the next several weeks, if not already.

That was exactly my point. If SD believes she thinks she knows Nicholas is hanging out with some "group" or "community", why not report it. Who knows, it may lead to a tip.

Did you notice I said I THINK? Did I say I know he did? Did you notice where I say I CAN'T PROVE IT? If I could prove anything I would do something in a heart beat but I CAN'T CAN'T CAN'T. If I could I would

If I were to post that Christine did it and should be given a lie detector test, have her house search etc etc no one would even question me, but because I believe he is alive and took off on his own everyone thinks I know something.

So if I don't agree with the crowd it is a good thing to fake pm's to me from the sheriff?

The truth is LE knows what I know and I'm sure more. They have even said as much but people just want to believe that Nicholas' secret life was something like playing checkers on the internet.

First I trust LE to have the info I have and more. Since none of what I've talked about is hidden and since LE as a normal thing checks the clubs I really don't see that they don't know what I'm talking about if they read here.

As to faking someone created an account and claimed to be a sheriff, but didn't bother to give me a badge number or anything else to identify them. Maybe Coldwater should check the ip and if it isn't from KCS report them for impersonation of a police officer. I know vBulletin records the ip of a person setting up an account. So would be easy to trace it and find out if it was really from the KCS.

I think it is just time to leave. People have no real news so they are now busy going after anyone who doesn't believe like they do. For some reason it is easier to believe that he is dead then it is that he left the day before Valentines day to join a new partner and is off enjoying the clubs where it is dark and a nice dye job would change his looks. Yes, I do know the club crowd what is so hard to believe about that? I also know people who wouldn't call the cops on a friend who walked out on his wife without telling her. They would figure it was his to deal with since he hasn't broken a law.

I have nothing but a hunch that has been building ever since the day he went missing. Just like all the other people with hunches like his wife offed him, like he is in a body of water etc etc.

Well that is just bizarre. It takes a minimum of 3 months for a divorce in Washington state, and there have been no divorce proceedings initiated according to court files as of today. At the most, she could be "getting a divorce" but "Divorced"? Nope, unless she means "spiritually" or "in my own head". Sorry but this just creeps me out even more.

I just went over to check to see if this new development was mentioned by the mods over on HFTM and it's not. I wonder if Harlot will post if this changes Nick's status from Missing to Other?

You think when he left, she already knew he wanted a divorce and he had already filed? That's why the family has been quiet as well as the police? They figure they will have to go to court and just work it out. She just wanted to put out the dirty laundry for all to see...and find out who the lucky person is....

Obviously she knew this the entire time.......How long does it take for a divorce to become finalized? Anyone shedding tears for her now? Look at all the people she duped. :(

Didn't LE report something about after discovering the "double life" that the wife would no longer be speaking to the media?

Maybe something was discovered about a lawyer he retained, or searches done on a DIY divorce online?

But I guess until LE says different, technically he is still a Missing Person.

Hi Carol,

It would already be public record if he had filed in the U.S. when he went missing.

It takes 90 days in Washington State for a divorce to be finalized. Uncontested that is.

And, yes, I am one who sheds tears for her. And for Nicholas and especially for their kids. All of them are victims in one way or another. IMO.

We aren't privy to all the information behind the scenes. Drawing conclusions that she duped people based on an entry on a myspace account that is now not available seems unfair to me. Maybe we should just wait and see. JMO.

Hi Musterion

Earlier tonight her status said "Married" - then it said "Divorced" - now it is set to private so no one can view it. As far as we know, Nicholas is still missing and foul play has not been ruled out. I find it disrespectful, but so many things she has done, I have found disrespectful to him.

Hi ya Rainy! I've been meaning to get to bed for the last hour but was hoping for some other verification from the poster that has been working with her in the search.

Guess that'll have to wait for another day.

My thoughts and prayers and hope are still with Nicholas that he is found safe and of course the children, and no matter what CF's "status" is (divorced, single, widowed, married) she's been asking for answers for the past two months both online and thru the media that Nicholas be found.

I hope he will be.

You are absolutely right, Musterion. We should wait and see. But what happens if she was contesting it? Then later for some reason decided not to contest it?

Another question, we don't know when Nicholas filed for divorce. It could have been January. Then she just got her notification today and it will appear in the newspaper within a week or so?

From Reading her other blog and her verse from James, it appears she;s has now has accepted the tragedy of a fractured marriage and has her faith help her cope and move forward. I was very pleased to see this. If my earlier assumptions were right, she has come a very long way in a short period of time.

But then again, my earlier assumptions could have been very wrong. Thanks, Musterion.

Hi Rainy!

I realize that the status was changed and now it is private. I don't know why any of that is. I just give her the benefit of the doubt. I can understand her setting her myspace to private.

I can't say that I see she has been disrespectful to Nicholas. I know you come from a different angle. I just don't know what she knows, what LE knows. Not knowing that I am just careful to try not to sum up her actions or behaviours. If info that we don't know suggests NF is likely alive and LE and CF strongly suspect that then maybe her actions would have more sympathy. But, we don't know. We just don't know. JMO.

And, as always, Rainy, I respect you even if I disagree with your view!!

Hi Cat!!

I don't see any contradictions in initially saying that she thought he was dead and to what she is saying now. JMO.

I do think if there is a chance that he is alive, it might be in her best interest to file for divorce. If he can't be found then the divorce would be uncontested and whatever she has asked for would more than likely be granted.

I am thinking of child custody. Sole custody. If NF did leave her and their children, it would be in her best interest and theirs to have orders in place that protects them from being taken from their mother without her consent. If NF did leave and no one ever expected it from him, my thought would be to protect my children from being taken away from me. Without an order in place for CF having sole custody, NF could take them, legally, at any time. As a mom, I would take these steps if I had any inkling he left us, because my children and their welfare would be my first concern. JMO.

I'm sorry, it's just really odd for a spouse in an ****Active Missing Persons Case*** to change marital status on an online social website profile. She has updated her blog at thefranciscos.com to state that he is still missing and she is still looking for him. There isn't a separated option, but why change it if he is still missing and she can't find him?

If he is still missing, are we supposed to be "rounding him up" so she can punish him for doing whatever he did to her in this so-called secret life?

I am playing catch up here and maybe I am confused...

CF reports NF missing.
CF cries to the press "these children will not have a father" and "this unborn baby will not have a father"
CF receives $$$$$ from that craft board place.
CF announces she is going to lose the house and be forced to file bankruptcy even though Publicis was still issuing NF's paychecks.
CF states she was able to make March and April's house payment.
CF begs for a house with X # bedrooms + a den.
CF receives a house with X # bedrooms + a den.
CF moves out of the family home to the free home.
CF has never posted a picture of her missing husband on her myspace account.
CF stated her account at that craft board place would re-open shortly and it would be her only source of income.
CF's myspace account stated earlier this evening her marital status is divorced.
CF's myspace account is not set on private.

Did I miss anything? TIA

Its never been about Nicholas - never. Its been about her and continues to be about her. That is why I have posted several times that I hope someone stumbles upon his body if he is dead because no one seems to be looking for him. I hope to goodness if I ever go missing that my family never acts the way his family has acted. If he was treated with this little respect while he was alive by all those who are supposed to love him, I understand him walking away.

I'm wondering if the alleged secret paypal account was indeed for his online business and he kept this money hidden from Christine for whatever reason.

I'm wondering if the alleged secret paypal account was indeed for his online business and he kept this money hidden from Christine for whatever reason.

I just found it ineresting because that was the amount he withdrew the day he disappeared.

Good morning, Rainy!

You can serve divorce papers to the last known residence and/or workplace of the respondent. They have a certain amount of time to respond. If they don't respond the case goes before the judge, the judge makes the determination based on what is known. IMO.

I'm not saying this is or was done in this case. Just that it can be done. IMO.

CF announces she is going to lose the house and be forced to file bankruptcy even though Publicis was still issuing NF's paychecks.
CF states she was able to make March and April's house payment.
CF begs for a house with X # bedrooms + a den.
CF receives a house with X # bedrooms + a den.
CF moves out of the family home to the free home.
CF has never posted a picture of her missing husband on her myspace account.
CF stated her account at that craft board place would re-open shortly and it would be her only source of income.
CF's myspace account stated earlier this evening her marital status is divorced.
CF's myspace account is not set on private.

Did I miss anything? TIA [/*]

Hi Desmom,

While I do believe that it is part of a missing person's investigation to watch and question the SO, I also believe that putting things into the context in which they happened is critical.

Each thing stated in this post, if the context was given with it, may not seem quite as sinister.

So, yes, I do think something is missing. Context. JMO.

Hi - see the link below.

http://www.washingtondivorceservice.com/resources.htm

In the bottom right hand corner of the page, there is a section called "I can't locate my spouse - can I still get divorced?" It seems like you have to put a notice in the local papers "looking for your spouse" before you can be granted the divorce.

We had to do this when we were adopting a child and the birth father had disappeared. We had to advertise looking for him for 6 weeks. He did not respond so we could proceed without his consent.

I am thinking of child custody. Sole custody. If NF did leave her and their children, it would be in her best interest and theirs to have orders in place that protects them from being taken from their mother without her consent. If NF did leave and no one ever expected it from him, my thought would be to protect my children from being taken away from me. Without an order in place for CF having sole custody, NF could take them, legally, at any time. As a mom, I would take these steps if I had any inkling he left us, because my children and their welfare would be my first concern. JMO. [/*]

You are absolutely correct in your thinking... Christine has filed for a divorce. There are many reasons for doing this, it was necessary for legal reasons.

Now I understand why there haven't been any searches, why she didn't attend vigils, why she didn't pound the dirt looking for him, why she stopped doing media interviews, why she moved out 6 weeks later and 8 weeks later she files for a divorce.

In my opinion, she knew all along.

It certainly does send mixed signals.

It's only been a couple of months, why would there be a reason to do it so soon if at all?

If it's a case of making sure you get sole custody of the kids, then you must be pretty sure that he's still alive and I would think that you'd quit asking for help finding him.

Maybe someone can help me understand the legal reasons.

This is from Musterion's post but it only indicates IF Nicholas did leave. As far as we know, there is no proof whatsover that he left voluntarily OR if he is a victim of foul play. LE hasn't confirmed that. Last we heard, they had no proof he left voluntarily. Unless I missed something. If he left voluntarily why is he still listed as missing.

Hi n/t,

LE has said that they uncovered a secret life that Nicholas was leading. We don't know what that was.

You are saying that filing for divorce would be the last thing on your mind, but would it be if your SO had a secret life that you hadn't known about? What if that life was something that could threaten your children's well being? Wouldn't that, maybe, make you move to do something on their behalf? To protect them? IMO.

Hi Harlett.

I was wondering if you had heard about the body found on the river bank in Tukwila on Friday.

Tukwila is the city right next to the SeaTac area to the north.

I haven't heard much about it.. other than some kayakers found the body on the river about 4pm Friday. They said on the news last night that it appeared the body had been there for some time but I can not find any other info about it.

I couldn't sleep last night thinking that it could be Nicholas. I am having severe internet problems right now and Comcast says it will be next Monday before they can be here but have been checking in to see and haven't see ANYONE mention anything about it.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you are sure he is alive. IMO. It, to me, means that if there is a possibility then I'd better not take any chances with the safety of my children. We don't know the extent of what LE has found regarding a secret life.

Legally, meaning that if NF is alive, comes back for his children, takes them and there is no court order in place that CF has sole custody, then NF does not have to return them. He would have as much right to them as CF. JMO.

You are correct. We don't know what that secret life is. IF it was something that I believed threatened my childrens well being, I sure as heck wouldn't be looking for him. I'd pick up and run as fast as I could. That doesn't seem to be the case here though. She posted she was moving and that became public knowledge and she posted she was divorced and that also became public knowledge so in my opinion, whatever Nick's secret life is, doesn't sound like it's something very threatening to her or their children.

And? He's still their father. He should have the right to his children. Let's for the sake of discussion, he left because he just needed to take a break, depressed or stressed from everyday life and felt overwhelmed so needed to clear his head , what gives her the right to take his kids away from him? It's only been a little over 2 months!!!!!!! I could understand if it was maybe a year later but 2 months??? She moved out after 6 weeks.

I hate to disagree n/t but I think that abandonment of your children is taken very seriously and for a 2 and a 4 year old.. 2 months has to seem like an eternity. I really don't see how a year would be any different than 2 months. If he is okay and did that to him then... no, IMO he doesn't have any rights to his children... but he still needs to provide financially for them whether he likes it or not.

That's the problem I have mystry. I don't think he abandoned those kids and there's something very very scary about all of this.

You don't go from being a wonderful dad who baked cookies with his daughter, tucked them to bed, made coffee for the wife, built a work area for the wife, started an online business 10 days before he disappeared (BTW Christine posted on that site) to this low life deadbeat dad who just took off on them with $50.00 in his pocket.

In my opinion only three things could have happened here,

1. He file in January and then :had just had it one night " and left.
2. She filed at the same time she was saying what a wonderful husband he was and feared for his life. Seems so incongruent here.
3. She isn't divorced. She just filed, but considers herself divorced.

Would a judge grant the divorce on grounds of abandonement when he had heard her say on tv she didn't say he has abandoned them, something happened and she thought he was dead?

Divorce action would prohibit him from piling up bills that she would be responsible for and possibly give her more information from LE on his "secret life" and whereabouts to sue him for child support. I don't think there would be a question about her having custody unless there's something in her background that is questionable such as drugs or mental health.

It doesn't make sense. And maybe he wasn't planning on disappearing at all. And he still could be a victim of a random crime.

I think, though, if we read back through case files of people who have been arrested and tried for crimes, we would see the shock and dismay of their families when confronted with the fact that their loved one was capable of what they are accused of.

Many people hide their secret lives or criminal lives for years without anyone knowing. Many times I've read what a good husband or father, etc., that their families reported they were. And it makes absolutely no sense. JMO.

I was referring to your post earlier about Christine protecting her children from threat and for safety (I'm paraphrasing your post cuz I don't recall your exact words). IMO, if she felt threatened she wouldn't reveal all that she has on public boards, like her moving and when she was moving and her divorce status on my space. Therefore, I conclude and assume from what was posted by Christine that there is nothing to suggest that this so called secret life was anything dangerous nor threatening to Christine or their children. If she's still "searching" for him, that's another clue that he's not a threat.

A judge, IMO, would look at the grounds on the petition in front of him and the evidence brought in by the petitioner. If the respondent did not show, more than likely, the divorce would be granted to the petitioner and since the respondent was a no show there would be no evidence presented from that side.

Unless the divorce is contested there would be no reason that evidence would be brought in regarding Christine's statements in public. And, IMO, her statements at the beginning of Nicholas' disappearance only add to her defense and would not hurt her in any way legally. JMO.

Ok, I think I see what you're saying!

I would agree with you if she had posted her new address. In my mind stating 'divorced' wouldn't have any bearing on safety issues.

It seems to me that she has taken steps to ensure her and her children's safety. From moving to an undisclosed location to taking most personal pictures and info off of the web.

Searching for him is the right thing to do, no matter what, IMO. Because the children need to know what happened to him for them to have some concrete sense of why he is gone. Finding him, if he is alive, doesn't mean he will know where they are. But, finding him, if he is alive, will make him take responsibility financially for the children he helped create. If he is alive he owes them that. IMO.

It's dishonest to insinuate that Nicholas was leading a secret life that was or could be dangerous or depraved or harmful.

There is absolutely no evidence that the so-called "secret life" could be dangerous to wife or children, and it has clearly been stated that it was not illegal.

It's dishonest to raise the spectre of nefarious goings-on, without evidence. It's defaming the name of someone who cannot speak for himself (for whatever reason) and cannot defend himself. It's shameful.

We have absolutely no clue about what the secret/double life is, we do know that it is not illegal per LE. The only thing I have seen online of Nicholas has given me the opinion he is a good man, husband, father. ...Anyone have any links that show anything different?????

I have seen links posted, and words from other mouths involved in this case though that do not IMO give the same impression.

:eek: DIVORCE?

I'm confused!

The wife has said since day one that she thought he was dead. Not only did she THINK he was dead, but she was absolutely convinced he was dead - maybe in or near water! Why the need to file for a divorce now? How can he come back from the dead and try to take her kids? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Now, even if he made a conscious decision to leave he could NOT just come back from hiatus and take away her kids. It is NOT that easy. What? Is she afraid he's just gonna pop up one day and ask for his kids? How? He doesn't even know where she lives, does he? Not that it would be too difficult to find her I'm sure, but still! She has been the primary care giver of those kids. She could tell him no; she could contact LE as they are aware of the situation; she could go to court.

Secret Life - http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2083778&postcount=476

His wife is now publically saying that Nicholas was leading a “secret life” and that leads us even further away from a foul play theory.

http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2096274&postcount=135

I have said there is evidence of certain activities (not illegal) that Nicholas was involved in and Christine was not aware of those. However in many relationships that can be the case, and doesn’t positively validate one theory or another.


This "secret life" could be anything NF opted to not share with his wife. Maybe he was into some sport some would consider dangerous; decided he did not like the Ad business and wanted to switch careers; the "secret" paypal account....

IMO, anyone that is married and believes they know everything about their s/o is foolish.

Couldn't CF apply for custody of the children without filing for a divorce?

Hi Musterion! I guess I'm still confused.

If Nick is dead, then he can't reply to the ad in the paper, and certainly would not be of any threat or harm to CF or the kids.

If Nick is not dead, but is in harms way, then he will be losing his children because he did not/was unable to answer the ad.

That leaves Nick walking off. Christine has stated repeatedly that he would not just walk out on them, but she feels he was murdered. No one knows what the secret is - all we do know is that LE said it was nothing illegal.

I have never ever followed a missing person's case where the spouse filed for a divorce after two months. I cannot even imagine the fallout if Christine was missing and Nicholas posted that he was "divorced" on a social blog.

Well "IMO" it is a insensitive thing for her to do!! If she believes some of her own words....."JMO"

She first says he would never ever leave his family, they are the center of his life.

Then she says he would definately never leave the kids...

Then she says she just has a gut feeling that foul play is involved and he is in water.

Then he has a secret life (that isn't illegal), she still doesn't think he walked out on them.......but

she files for divorce.......

WOW

I think she's doing the best she can with what she's been dealt.

I also think it will turn out that Nic was, truly , on his way home and met with an accident or foul play of some sort. Nothing else makes sense to me. I too don't think he is/was a "coward."

Hi Harlett,

I have a tremendous amount of respect for what you do. You seem to have a knack for remaining neutral; and I admire that. I know quite a few of us have our own opinions and do a lot of speculating as to what may or may not have happened to Nicholas.

You seem to be on a friendly basis with the wife. She obviously knows now what Nicholas was doing prior to his disappearance which is referred to as a "secret life." I'm just wondering why she doesn't want people to know the details of Nicholas' secret life? Many, many people only want what she claims herself to want : resolve. Perhaps if she did come forward with a statement it would put to rest much conjecture. Just a thought.....

Your post was not insensitive - I was referring to this

CF can't get any help if there is a chance that NF is around and might show up. she has to be divorced from him to be able to be eligible for certain things. He is missing but since the chances are 50/50 as to what happened to him, CF has to say that she is willing to do what she needs to in order to get help.


giver her a freakin' break. how you manage to pick apart every single thing she says and does and come up with nothing because you have NO facts is beyond me.

this has been practically a 99% guessing game with no one to tell you yes, you're right or no you're wrong. sorry I take that back. when told you are wrong you don't believe it.

and so we are back to blaming Christine for NF either deserting them or getting harmed which she had no part in.

Protect her family from what?

I really don't understand this. I am not trying to be malicious or judgmental at all. I don't even know this woman. All I know of the story is what SHE has said. This divorce thing even goes against how she says she feels about her husband. MY GOD... for the life of me I don't get it!

If someone is feeding her information and advising her to do this then, IMO, she is being given very bad advice.

We don't know anything about the "second" life, and if it involved gambling, or $$ debts, it might be the best way for her to handle it.

I feel for Christine. I hope things work out for her and her children. If this were me, I would be devastated.

Not necessarily, Decor. I'm not an expert in these things, but I do think it's fairly standard state-to-state. Should the wife decide to file for state help (medical, food stamps, housing voucher, etc.) she needs to fill out paperwork and provide proof of all living in her home. Since NF doesn't currently live with her, and she can easily prove that, his name would not be on the application for help in the first place, and his income wouldn't be subject to offset what she may be eligible for.

The wife would have to provide proof of residence, income, US citizenship status for herself and the children, i.e., soc sec cards and birth certificates.

At this point she can qualify for WIC too because she is pregnant. I believe her two other children would also qualify for WIC because they are under 5 yrs of age.

A divorce doesn't have anything to do with whether or not she can get state help.

I am almost positive that she can get no help if she is married to him without him also signing papers with all his info and stating that he isn't working etc.. I really think she either needs to be divorced or he has to sign for her to get anything.


Also it could be that his secret life would leave no room for a wife.

Filing for divorce because of legal issues and to be able to access certain benefits from the state (such as medical coupons, DSHS, food stamps etc) is one thing. Putting "DIVORCED" on her myspace while it was still public, and at least 4 months before the divorce could possibly be "final" -- well, that's something else. I don't think DSHS or any other state agency is going to be checking her myspace to see if she still lists herself as "Married". IMO.

she is entitled to put anything she wants. she isn't breaking any laws. she isn't breaking any rules. so what if it isn't what others would do.
do you only do what you think everyone else will approve of?

Rainey
she is entitled to do whatever she wants and she is entitled to do without people who don't even know her to criticize her and judge her and crucify her.

and you have a link or proof that none of those men had to sign anything or prove that they no longer were planning on going home?

my point is that no one here, except Harlett, knows anything yet they are still all criticizing the way CF is running her own life. [/*]

Nice post decor, I agree totally. Why waste precious time and energy getting upset about something one doesn't understand? Unless you know the details of Christine's financial and legal situation and problems, why get bent out of shape about it? Filing for divorce has been stated by Harlett as being in the best interests of her and the children. The children! They are the ones that count the most here... :(

As for her posting her status as "divorced" on myspace, could be she is just angry, and put it up there for him to see in case he is out there somewhere. I don't think it was the best thing to do, but if it was me, I'd probably at least of think of doing something like that myself.

Yes it has everything to do with Nicholas. If he's missing without a trace, he doesn't have a voice. Many of us have chosen to stand by him and defend him as much as we can with the information we have so far.

We know that LE has not ruled out foul play nor have they said he left voluntarily. He's still missing and until someone says he's alive and well, I will continue to speak up for him.

The unfounded claims of an affair or whatever other rubbish that were posted about him have not been proven and at this time are considered malicious rumours, imo.

married women can get assistance without their spouse signing anything. I know this because my sister left her abusive husband and was on welfare and got food stamps for a couple of months until she was able to start working and stuff.

The state actually found her husband.. and helped her to secure support for the children also.

Isn't it odd n/t that some people who had such a problem with people "ruining Christine's reputation" (someone who definately could speak for herself) don't have a problem in the world with people trying to smear Nicholas' name. After two months some people have yet to figure out who is the one missing and who still may need help.

I have said nothing about affairs. LE did say they found out about a secret life but no one has told anyone here except for maybe one, what that life is. Since we don't know, as I said maybe that life was the deciding factor in filing for divorce. But since no one felt the need to report to us what it was maybe it is just none of our business.

Alot of us don't know what happened for sure, but we do know that Nicholas isn't here to defend himself or speak up for himself. Other people are doing just fine defending themselves.

It amazes me people here that are smearing his character around everywhere. Do some of you know exactly where he is and that is why you are saying he is a awful dad, husband and man.

I pray that he did just walk out, as atleast he would be alive.

Well, I have known plenty of women who were married and the spouse took off. They qualified for, and received, state assistance because they were considered separated due to an absent spouse.

The state keeps track in cases like that and should they locate the man by social security (tax time) they make sure they get reimbursed for his share in what they have provided to his family.

As long as he is listed as a missing, it is our business to find out where he is and what may have happened to him. That's the nature of the beast. The public was asked for help. If that is no longer the case then the public she be notified.


You posted his secret life would leave no room for a wife. What did you mean by that?

Not necessarily, Decor. I'm not an expert in these things, but I do think it's fairly standard state-to-state. Should the wife decide to file for state help (medical, food stamps, housing voucher, etc.) she needs to fill out paperwork and provide proof of all living in her home. Since NF doesn't currently live with her, and she can easily prove that, his name would not be on the application for help in the first place, and his income wouldn't be subject to offset what she may be eligible for.

The wife would have to provide proof of residence, income, US citizenship status for herself and the children, i.e., soc sec cards and birth certificates.

At this point she can qualify for WIC too because she is pregnant. I believe her two other children would also qualify for WIC because they are under 5 yrs of age.

A divorce doesn't have anything to do with whether or not she can get state help.

Since there are people here that seem to know for sure that foul play wasn't involved, maybe LE needs to speak with them. According to LE they have no signs that point to Foul Play and none that point to walking off.

So if you have proof he walked out and he is fine.....by all means please email LE and let them know.

I really don't see people saying that Nicholas is an "awful dad, husband and man". There is evidence that he might have left on his own.

The smearing of character that I have seen has mostly been directed towards Christine, when there is no evidence that she is involved in his disappearance.

Where do you see smearing of character? Questioning a spouse's behaviour is normal on a crime board. Again, this is information that was made public. The filing for divorce was made public.

You may want to look around and read up on other cases.

Yeah that big $50.00 he drew out. What happened to the "he would never leave us - we are his life"? What happened to all of his coworkers being adamant he would never leave? What happened to the "good guy?"
