Nicholas Francisco disappeared on Feb. 13 after leaving his job as an art director at Publicis West in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. A co-worker was the last to report seeing him, at about 6:10 pm that evening. According to his wife, he was headed to their family home in SeaTac, with a stop planned at the Tukwila Costco store. But Costco records show that he never used his Costco card there.
His car was found on Feb. 18, 5 days after he was last seen, in a condo parking lot in Federal Way. In the weeks following his disappearance, friends, family, and co-workers went to many neighborhoods in the greater Seattle area to search and put up posters.
According to the King County Police Department, there is still no evidence that he met up with foul play and there is also no evidence of where he is now.
There have been TV interviews, newspaper articles, blogs, websites, and discussion boards with information about Nicholas’s disappearance, including theories about what might have happened. People around the country have put up Nicholas’s photo and missing poster on their MySpace pages and websites.
There has been a strong wellspring of support for Nicholas’s wife Christine and their children, including financial donations and a website set up for prayers and words of support for Christine, at supportingchristine.wordpress.com
This new blog – supportingnicholas.blogspot.com – is a place where people can post their supportive words and prayers specifically for Nicholas. A place to send love and light to him, wherever he may be. We want Nicholas to know, if he reads this, that there are many people who are very concerned about him, people who miss him, people who care about him, people who are praying for him and for his well-being. Please feel free to post messages of support to his parents and sisters as well.
This isn’t a place to discuss what might have happened to Nicholas. We do encourage anyone with information to contact King County Police Department at (206) 296-3311. There is a $15,000 reward for information that leads to finding Nicholas. If you want to discuss the case, learn more about it, or contact Nicholas’s wife Christine, please use the links at the right to get that info.
Feel free to share your prayers and support in the comments section below.

Praying for Nicholas. And your family. All of them. God is constantly with all of you.
Remember Psalm 139, in part:
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, You are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
Even there Your hand will guide me,
Your right hand will hold me fast.
Godspeed.

Nicholas, I have a feeling you left to search for something within you that you do not understand. You dont seem to be the type of person that would ever hurt anyone intentionally. Please let your wife and children know where you are as soon as possible. If something happened to you and you have already crossed over, please help to guide those who are searching for you, they will be waiting for signs of your guidance. We will not forget you and will search for you till we have closure. Love and light will always surround you.
Nicholas, may you find your place of comfort and peace wherever that may be. May your family also soon find peace by learning where you are and that you are at peace.
Nicholas - if you are with the Lord, what a glorious Easter you will have. If you are alone and suffering, I pray that God shines his merciful light directly on you and gives you the ability to find your way home. Even though our voice seems to have been squashed, just know there are those of us who will not give up.
Dear Nicholas, on the eve of the holy day of Resurrection, I am knowing for you the truth of this prayer:
The light of God surrounds you,
The love of God enfolds you,
The power of God protects you,
And the presence of God watches over you.
Wherever you are, God is, And all is well.
Nicholas, I hope, pray and believe that you are alive and well. There are so many people that are concerned about you so if at all possible please contact your parents or sisters and let them know you are well. They must be frantic not knowing if you are all right.
And until it is made known to the public that you are well some of us will continue to look for answers and search.
Wishing you well and praying for news of your return.
It's been 6 weeks since you were last seen or heard from, Nicholas. I hope that you are ok. So many of us are praying for you, wondering what happened to you, and where you might be. Many of us don't know you, and yet still we care, we worry, we pray. We imagine what it would feel like if our own son, brother, co-worker, husband, or friend just disappeared. Some of us have even experienced that and it's hard not to think the worst.
If you're out there, starting a new life or just taking a break from things, you probably have your reasons for not getting in touch with anyone. Maybe you are worried or afraid, and don't want to talk to anyone right now or somehow don't think you can. I hope you find a way to reach out for help and/or let someone know that you are ok.
I know the presence of God is with you always; you can trust God's guidance in all things. Blessings to you, Nicholas.
I too am one of many that is concerned for Nicholas and have been praying for his safety and well-being. I hope that if he is able to make contact with someone he will, whether it be the police, a co-worker, a friend or family member.
If there is someone responsible for his disappearance and has caused him harm, I hope that individual comes forward and confesses- as whatever you do in the dark will always come out in the light.
Be silent no more! Tell what you know!
If Nicholas is still living his earthly life somewhere, I hope a part of this old hymn will comfort him in some way-
"Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there."
Light and Love for those still looking and seeking the truth.
Praying for you, Nicholas, and all that care about you. Please know that people DO care and ARE concerned.......
Still praying for you, Nicholas...please come home soon to those who love and miss you....
Sherry Hefner
love and light
Hoping you are safe and happy somewhere.
Still sending prayers your way Nicholas. Hope you're safe. Please call someone to let them know you're ok.
Sadly now it has been 2 months and 3 days since Nicholas went missing.
No one has done the right thing by coming forward and letting this much loved man's family know what became of him.
Nicholas Needs To Be Found!
May there be Hope and Answers
God's Love and Blessings to those that are lost
Nicholas, I hope this means you are safe and sound! Since Christine has changed her status on her web site to divorced now, surely this means you are still with the living! This would truly be an answer to so many prayers that have been said for your safety and well-being.
God Bless
Nicholas- still in our thoughts and prayers.
You still have friends and a multitude of an online community that care.
May your whereabouts be known soon, there is help out there for you if you need it.
God has not forsaken you, praying that you are okay.
Prayers and support continue for the Francisco family.
Prayers and support will continue for Nicholas, where ever he may be.
May Light and Love surround you.
Nicholas, still praying for your safe return.
Nick,
If you are out there, please find a way to let us know you are safe and well. We don't need to know where you are just that you are o.k.
If anyone has any information that may be helpful in finding Nick please contact the King County Sheriffs Office at (206)296-7528 or you can leave an anonymous tip at the AMW confidential hotline - 1-800-CRIME-TV
Thanks...

Closing in on 3 months and now it's Mother's Day weekend and the first one without Nicholas home with his family.
Still praying that someone with information will do the right thing and ease their conscience by telling what they know and end the worry.
No parent should ever move on from their child, please report your information to the numbers listed above.
Hoping that Nick's mother and his wife were able to share some sweet Mother's Day moments together with fond memories of Nicholas.
Hoping too they all have answers soon and Nicholas is found.
God's Love, Comfort and Strength on the eve of the 3 month anniversary of his disappearance.
Three Months Missing-

We will never give up searching for you, Nick.
Prayers will never stop, either.
Four Months since you were last seen-
so sorry Nicholas that you haven't been found.
Four months today since you were last seen or heard from. I've never met you, but I think about you every day and hope and pray that you are still in this world. That you are finding peace and contentment and will find a way to let your family know that you are ok.
And if you are not still living, I hope and pray that the truth comes out about what happened to you... and if anyone harmed you, that they receive the rightful consequences.
I pray for the many people who have cast judgment and suspicion on you, especially those who claim to be Christian, yet seem deeply unaware of Christ's teachings on forgiveness and unconditional love.
Love, light & blessings to you Nicholas. Always.
Father's Day 2008 has come and gone and Nick wasn't there to celebrate with his little ones.
All it takes is the one person that knows something to pick up the phone and contact the authorities to resolve this.
Please make the call. Don't let another holiday pass with the children not knowing where their daddy is.
It's been six months now.....
I think about Nicholas every day and wonder where he is. I'm just a stranger. I can't imagine what his parents and sisters and children are going through.
I just can't believe that someone doesn't know SOMETHING.
Nicholas, I hope you're safe somewhere.....
Thinking of Nicholas today. Will we ever know that you're safe somewhere????
Happy Birthday, Nicholas, wherever you are.
Nicholas,
If you are out there... call your mother and let her know you are okay.
"Please feel free to post messages of support to his parents and sisters as well." It's great to do this for Nick, but good grief. Funny that you haven't even included words for his children. Or the woman carrying one of them. Reading backwards, I can see how a very small group of people determined early on they did not like Christine and put all their efforts into that.
This is for "Anonymous" above. Did you miss this part? "There has been a strong wellspring of support for Nicholas’s wife Christine and their children, including financial donations and a website set up for prayers and words of support for Christine, at supportingchristine.wordpress.com
This new blog – supportingnicholas.blogspot.com – is a place where people can post their supportive words and prayers specifically for Nicholas."
Glad to hear that you are alive, Nicholas. I hope you are able to help your children heal from the hurt they have experienced by your absence. Continuing to pray for you.
to learn that Nicholas is alive and safe is truly an answer to all the prayers that went up for that!
For this to happen in the month that we celebrate Thanksgiving, I do hope there will be a reuniting for the families that have become estranged during this long period of time. Children need to have both parents involved and interested in their lives, they need all of their grandparents involved and interested as well.
I hope all involved will get help and counseling and at some point have healing and closure.
Nick, you were absent much too long from your family and children, I hope that you will go back to being the responsible person that all said you had been before you left and be there for them financially and emotionally and do it with a glad heart.
I also hope that in the near future, there will be rejoicing within the Francisco family that there son and brother is still alive and that they all will be included in each of their lives from here on out.
Do the right thing Nick, and remember the words of the old hymn, "Amazing Grace".
Peace, Understanding, Amends and Forgiveness sent to all.
