SEATTLE -- The wife of a SeaTac man who disappeared one year ago said she still doesn't know what happened to Nicholas Francisco but that the investigation has revealed he led a secret "double life."

"Nicholas didn't just break my heart, he shattered it" when he failed to arrive home from his job on Seattle's Queen Anne Hill on Feb. 13, 2008, said Christine Francisco in an interview with KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Monique Ming Laven.

"He had been leading a horrific double life since before we were married, and I never knew of it," she said. "In hindsight, I can see a few things, but there was never anything major that made me -- I mean, he came home every night."

Christine Francisco said evidence uncovered on the Internet revealed a "whole other life," including hidden bank accounts.

Nicholas Francisco's disappearance triggered a search by colleagues, friends, family and police. His car was found a few days later at a Federal Way condominium complex, but there has never been any other sign of him.

"It's been the most horrific year of my life, but at the same time, God put a lot very good people in my life that have blessed me greatly and my children and helped us get through this last year. So we have agony and redemption -- all in one year," she said.
