Nicholas Francisco Found Alive and Well

Do you remember Christine Francisco in February of 2008 pleading for help to find her missing husband? Well apparently, Nick is alive and well living under another name in another state.

Read moreWhen I watched Christine speak back then, she raised several red flags for me that are now eerily reminiscent to Diena Thompson’s behavior. She wiped away non-existent tears (I forgot that!), she grinned at odd times, it appeared that she had to stop herself from laughing several times, too, when she was supposedly distraught! You can read my assessment of Christine Francisco here.

Christine Francisco originally thought her husband met with foul play and was “murdered”. Then she turned around and divorced him four months later citing “willful abandonment” 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’ under a section requesting restrictions on Nicholas Francisco’s access to their children (source).”

What do you think of the latest development? I can’t help but wonder what, if anything, Christine might have known.

Thanks, A, for the update!

Morgan Dana Harrington’s Friend Speaks Out

Topic Suggestion from Anonymous (Anonymous’ thoughts below):

Her name is Sarah Sneed…

I get a strange vibe from her. She seems so unemotional. When discussing Dana being missing she says, “YOU just put the focus on getting HER home, that’s all YOU can do…..” distancing. Read more

Also, when discussing why they left in Morgan’s car without her that night she states, “I mean obviously if we thought…. something bad….we wouldn’t have done it if we didn’t think it was ok. uhmmmm, but…….you know….” and then she seems to almost grin or show happiness a bit when she continues with her thought, “obviously….we wish things had taken place differently”.

I don’t know about you or anyone else but if one of my best friends of ten years went missing… I’d maybe say her name or tear up or feel guilty…. maybe that’s just me though. this girls seems like a stepford friend in her lack of emotion.

Girlfriend of Missing Man Speaks Out

From WCVBTV:

Police said William Hurley, 24, called his girlfriend for a ride home after Thursday night’s game, but never met up with her and didn’t show up for work on Friday morning… Read more here.

A reader put this video up on my topic suggestion page and asked for my opinion on the girlfriend, Claire Mahoney.

In this video, Mahoney doesn’t really say anything worry of deception, so I can’t speak for things she is not saying, but I can say that she is genuinely upset and distraught here.

Louis Ross Interview

When I watch Louis Ross talk, the first thing that jumps out at me is how calm and controlled his demeanor is considering the circumstances. The second thing I notice is how long and detailed his first answer is to the question asked by the reporter, “So walk me through the day that Hassani disappeared…”

Read moreLouis gives so many details, its mind-boggling for me. I can appreciate being precise, but isn’t the point to get the information out about Hassani and to find him? I find Ross’ focus is off. Why isn’t he most focused on finding Hassini, instead of explaining himself here? Why is he telling us what he “always” did, instead of just what happened that day?

I also see no urgency or anxiety from either foster parent that Hassani needs to be found. This is the biggest red flag for me. This is unnerving, because we all know time is of the essence, if Hassani truly wandered off or was abducted.

Also, when Louis recalls the time that they realize Hassani is gone, his face is devoid of any emotional stress, concern or fear. This is a huge red flag. This should have been a difficult time emotionally, if this is what happened, but I see no supportive emotions whatsoever here. It deeply concerns me.

I find Louis’ statement, “I automatically know we have a problem because Hassani does not walk away” disconcerting. First, he tells us that Hassani can walk to the back door without him, without a problem, so how can he say that Hassani doesn’t walk away? It’s flat out inconsistent.

Furthermore, most people don’t jump to the instant conclusion after only a couple of minutes that something tragic happened to their child when they don’t immediately see them. Any logical person would just assume Hassani was simply hiding behind the garbage dumpster or something, and would likely call out for him, but this is not what Louis thought at the time. His behavior is indicative he knows that Hassani was not there.

Louis says, “…and I took out the back door…to go look for my so.., well, I actually went to my car to my phone and called police…”

This statement is interesting above. He starts out with a story and then tells us the truth. Why didn’t he look for Hassani more? This perplexes me. He thinks about it, but he didn’t do it? This is notably odd.

Louis continues on rambling about how he doesn’t take the kids through the store. Where is his focus to find Hassani? It seems this is more about him than Hassani. This bothers me.

Louis says, “When I didn’t see him there, I was like he doesn’t walk away.” People who are victims of a situation like this are open to entertaining multiple scenarios. They don’t just jump to one conclusion –especially the most tragic, unless they are forced to do so. They explore everything else first. Why does Louis only accept one possibility?

It isn’t until the six minute mark that Louis starts talking about the most important thing they want to get out into the media, “Our son does not wear leg braces and this is the most frustrating part, because we all know we have a small window of time…” When Louis says this, notice there is no anxiety or urgency to help find Hassani?

Also notice that they don’t have any photos or fliers of him? There is just this resolve, as if they know what happened to him that I can’t explain. Perhaps it is the lack of emotional support for what they are saying.

Louis then says, “Does he need them [leg braces] to walk? No. They are there to help his feet develop.” Then why didn’t he wonder if Hassani could have walked away, or played hide and seek that day? Louis is very inconsistent.

Louis says “We invited you to our home so you can get the correct information out to the public.” Notice he doesn’t say, “We invited you to our home so you can help us find Hassani.” This troubles me.

Louis says, “If some…if the person who…….if someone took our son……or didn’t take him and he just wandered somewhere, and you took him, just return him. He probably won’t remember you, just don’t hurt him.”

Why doesn’t Louis look at the camera when he says this statement above? It’s as if Louis doesn’t believe what he is saying here… Also, now, notice how he entertains that Hassani could have just “wandered somewhere”. This is very inconsistent from what he has suggested earlier. Louis seems to change his tune as the wind blows and says whatever is convenient at the time.

A couple of minutes later Louis says, “Do I feel responsible for this? Yes.” You can see true pain when he says this. Why on earth, if he is innocent, would he feel responsible if Hassani wandered off or was kidnapped? This is very notable, and strange and unusual.

He continues, “There are parents out there, they take it for granted, ‘Oh that’ll never happen to me,’ only a few minutes, a quick second (expression of disgust followed by contempt)…turn your back, they’re gone.” I can’t help but wonder if he is thinking back to another memory here and at the pause, he thinks and changes the end of his sentence!

I personally don’t believe Louis is telling us what he knows to be the truth. I hope I am wrong for Hassani’s sake…

Annette Sykes Speaks About Possible Sighting

Annette Sykes talks about possible Haleigh sighting. One reader says it appears as if Sykes has no belief that Haleigh could be found alive and ask me for my opinion.

I personally think Sykes is realistic in that it is not likely that Haleigh is alive, but she does entertain the thought that Walmart likely has a lot of cameras, and if they can get a shot, there is a chance it could be Haleigh. However, Sykes tells us it is hard to hold out hope, because they’ve had their hopes dashed before. This is very logical and realistic.

I do not see any reason to doubt Grandma Sykes.
