Episode 38 Diane Francis
37 year-old Diane Theresa Francis had battled a lot of demons by the time she went missing from the Jacksonville, FL area in late November, 2005. Diane had bounced around back and forth from New Jersey to Florida where she finally seemed to settle in the Jacksonville area. Along the way, she had lost custody of her two daughters and repeatedly tried to get back control of her life so she could be reunited with them. Unfortunately, as is all too common across ths US, Diane was fighting a losing battle with drug addiction, and her daughters spent years in the foster care system. They last saw their mom in Melbourne, FL in June 2003. Diane was arrested for trespassing in Jacksonville, Florida on November 27, 2005, and was last seen when she was released the next day. Years later, out of the Blue, one of the men in Diane’s life reported her missing. The timing seemed odd to Diane’s daughter Sherri who is now an adult and has been searching unsuccessfully for her mom. Sherri discusses the frustrating search to find her mom in this episode.
