Missing man's wife files for divorce
By KOMO Staff & Seattle P-ISEATAC, Wash. -- The wife of the local man who has not been seen since the day before Valentine's Day has filed for divorce. King County Superior Court records indicate Christine Francisco, 28 is seeking to sever legal ties with Nicholas Francisco, 28, who vanished while driving home from his Queen Anne office on Feb. 13, 2008. Police found Nicholas' red 1992 Toyota Paseo hatchback five days later at a Federal Way condominium complex. Investigators found no indication of foul play.
Christine requested custody of her children, alleging "willful abandonment that continues for a period of time" and a "history of acts of domestic violence ... or an assault or sexual assault which causes grievous bodily harm or the fear of such harm." In their last phone conversation from Nicholas' work phone, he told his wife that he was "signing off on something," then planned to head home after running an errand at Costco for her. "He told me he loved me," said Christine. He also promised his 4-year-old daughter, Zea, he'd make Valentine's Day cookies with her, but never showed. Several tips surfaced following the man's disappearance and a reward for $5,000 was being offered for information leading to his discovery. His wife also made public pleas for any information on Nicholas' whereabouts, but he has yet to be found.
