In a haunting case that has gripped the nation, Ella Goodie, a 34-year-old mother of two, has been missing since March 9, 2022, when she vanished during a routine ride from Scott, Louisiana, to Houston, Texas. Ella, who was last seen driving her black Audi Q5, was expected to return home by the time her daughters got back from school. Instead, her family has faced an agonizing year without answers.
Ella’s disappearance took a dark turn when surveillance footage revealed her vehicle traveling towards Houston that morning, only to be spotted heading back to Louisiana twelve hours later. The next day, her car was located in Texas, near Dallas, raising alarm bells. The last person known to have seen her, Brandon Francisco, has since become a person of interest. With a violent criminal history, including attempted murder charges, his connection to Ella only deepened the family’s fears.
Despite the urgency of the situation, frustration has mounted as the investigation unfolded slowly. Law enforcement declared the case a homicide, but details remain scarce. Ella’s family feels abandoned in their search, facing a media landscape that has largely ignored their plight. They continue to rally support, establishing social media campaigns and community searches, but with little backing from authorities.
As the one-year anniversary of her disappearance approaches, Ella’s family refuses to lose hope, adamant that she is still alive. “We will search for you until God tells us otherwise,” they proclaim. In a poignant plea, they ask anyone with information to come forward, urging the public not to forget Ella Goodie. If you have any leads, contact the Louisiana State Police immediately. Time is of the essence for Ella and her heartbroken family.
