Francillon Pierre

Three-year-old Francillon Pierre was last seen on August 2, 1986 in North Las Vegas, Nevada at the Broad Acres Swap Meet by his mother, Amy Luster and his stepfather, Lee Luster, claiming that they lost track of him.

Prior to his disappearance, Amy and Lee were charged with abusing Francillon in December of 1985 which placed him in foster care. They were released from jail in April of 1986 after posting bail, and Francillon was returned to their custody. Social workers tried to make home visits to check on him, but Amy refused to let them see him.

In July of 1986, friends and neighbors reported seeing injuries on Francillon. A formal hearing on the child abuse charges against Amy and Lee were scheduled for August 26, 1986 and social workers were supposed to make a home visit at least two weeks before the hearing.

Amy and Lee were charged with ten counts of obstructing justice in December of 1986 after failing two polygraph tests about the day Francillon went missing. Witnesses at the swap meet reported that they never saw Francillon there and nobody outside of Francillon's family had seen him for at least two weeks.

The Lusters pled guilty to the obstruction charges. Amy was sentenced to 112 days in jail while Lee was sentenced to 180 days. While in jail, the couple wrote letters to each other which were seized by corrections officers as evidence.

In March of 1987, two witnesses reported that Lee told an unidentified woman that Amy had murdered Francillon. The Lusters also claimed that Francillon's biological father might have abducted him, but he was later ruled out as a suspect. Eleven months after Francillon went missing, Amy and Lee moved to Florida.

In 2017, Francillon's case was re-opened after somebody attempted to steal his identity. Amy was charged with murdering Francillon in 2019. She later accepted an Alford plea of no contest to involuntary manslaughter in his death. She was sentenced to two years in prison, but with credit for the time that she already spent in jail while awaiting the outcome of her case, she will only have to serve eight months in prison.

Francillon's case is classified as an endangered missing person due to the circumstances involved in his disappearance. He is of African-American and Caucasian descent.
