Wife of Missing Man Files for Divorce
The wife of a man from SeaTac, Washington, who disappeared on February 13th has filed for divorce, according to the records of the King County Superior Court.
Since he called home from work the day before Valentine’s Day, no one has heard from 28-year-old Nicholas Francisco. Five days later, his 1992 Toyota Paseo was found abandoned at a condominium complex by police. Initially, his wife feared that he may have been killed or kidnapped, but sheriff’s detectives found no evidence of foul play, and no trace of him has been discovered since.
On May 28th, nearly four months after his disappearance, 28-year-old Christine Francisco filed for divorce in Superior Court. The couple has a four-year-old daughter, a two-year-old son, and an unborn child.
In a custody request for her children, the petition filed by Christine Francisco claims “willful abandonment that continues for a period of time,” in addition to a “history of acts of domestic violence . . . or an assault or sexual assault” which resulted in her sustaining bodily harm or caused or to fear being harmed.
