Police in Federal Way, Wash. recovered a red 1992 Toyota Paseo on Feb. 18, 2008 that belongs to a missing father from Seattle. Nicholas Francisco, 28, was reported missing by his wife on Wednesday, Feb. 13. Nicholas' car was spotted by a resident of Heritage Condos who recognized it from media reports and called the police.
Cops do not know how Nicholas' car ended up in Federal Way -- about 10 miles in the opposite direction of his home -- noting that it had been parked at the condo complex for three days. When police arrived, the car was unlocked and the keys and Nicholas' laptop computer were missing. Cops did not find any blood or other signs of foul play, but are continuing a forensic examination of the car, hoping to come up with new clues.
Sheriff's officials are also canvassing several neighborhoods. King County Sheriff's Sergeant John Urquhart told AMW, "We took search dogs in there to get a scent on him and found nothing and did the same thing at his work."



Cops Need Public's Help



Cops say Nicholas, an art designer for a Seattle advertising agency, had left work on Feb. 13, 2008 and told his wife that he was stopping at a Costco before returning home. A colleague saw Nicholas leaving his company's parking lot and that was the last time he was seen. Cops later discovered that Nicholas did not use his Costco card that night.

Nicholas has a 4-year-old daughter and his wife is pregnant. He is described as being approximately six feet tall and has brown hair. He was last wearing a light blue or beige button-down shirt, plain black jacket and blue jeans.

Sgt. Urquhart said, "There is no next step other than to investigate sightings and to look into his background. At this point, we're relying heavily on the public's help."

I grew up in Federal Way and my parents still live there. Now it is on AMW. I'll keep my eye out when I go there this weekend.

Pretty odd how this all went down. From all accounts he is a devoted family man and would never disappear. Police have no signs of foul play so wtf?

I am working for Weyerhaeuser, based in Federal Way so I have the word out up there also.

TIMES: Missing man's wife ponders her likely life without him

01:20 PM PST on Saturday, March 8, 2008

By JENNIFER SULLIVAN / SEATTLE TIMES staff reporter

Sea Tac, Wash. - Christine Francisco has gone on searches, prayed and even asked for help on national television, but after 3 ½ weeks she has lost hope that her husband will come home.

Jobless, two months pregnant and raising two small children, Francisco said she has had to put her emotions behind her and focus on supporting her young family. She believes Nicholas, her husband of seven years, was murdered, but she also understands why authorities say he may have disappeared voluntarily.

Nicholas Francisco, 28, vanished after leaving his Queen Anne graphic-design job on Feb. 13. Five days later, his red 1992 Toyota Paseo was found abandoned outside a Federal Way condominium complex.

King County sheriff's investigators say there was nothing inside the car to indicate foul play or to point to the SeaTac man's whereabouts. As a result, investigators have scaled back their search for him.

Francisco admits she and her husband, whom she met nearly a decade ago when they were students at the Art Institute of Seattle, didn't have a perfect marriage. But, she said, he wouldn't abandon their children.

Regardless of the reason for his disappearance, the 27-year-old woman said she has to consider her pregnancy and her children, ages 2 and 4.

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

Francisco said she will meet with a financial adviser in the coming days to find out how she can manage their mortgage and bills. She said that Publicis, the firm where Nicholas worked, is still paying his salary, but eventually that money and donations that have trickled in to help her will run out. Detectives have searched the couple's financial records and found nothing to help lead them to the missing man, said sheriff's Sgt. James Laing.

Detectives and Francisco are relying heavily on the Internet with the hope of finding Nicholas. While Laing said investigators are checking the Internet for possible sightings, Francisco said she checks crime blogs for clues. But she said it's difficult because many bloggers believe she had something to do with her husband's disappearance, or that he abandoned them.

"People are gossiping about me; they're saying things that are untrue," she said. "It's like junior high school. It's ridiculous.

Laing said that if Nicholas Francisco did disappear on his own, there is nothing illegal about it.

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

Laing said detectives will continue investigating until they can entirely rule out that the disappearance isn't connected to a crime. But, he added, the case no longer remains at the forefront because there are other missing-persons cases with "concrete leads."

"We have to prioritize things that are going on," Laing said. "Unless there is something to indicate there is a crime, we are kind of stuck."

I hope the guy is ok.

Someone posted this in our break room at work. Hate to say it, but I am doubting anything actually happened to him, sounds like a classic "went to the store and never came back"
