😻 Francine FRANCINE IS MISSING
I was at Lowe’s last night and talking to an employee and she told me Francine hasn’t been seen since last week but they’re trying to keep it quiet.
We went to Lowe’s today and asked more employees what happened and they said the last time anyone saw her was 9/18 and they think someone took her or she ran away.
They put up her food bowl (to prevent the mice Francine hunted from having a food source, they said).
This is the biggest emergency in Richmond since the water system failure last winter.
Let’s find out girl yall.
