Person Of Interest Taken Into Custody After Rideshare Driver, Ella Goodie, Goes Missing

On March 9, Ella Goodie, 32, from Scott, Louisiana, went missing. She was last observed transporting a customer to Houston, Texas, as she is a rideshare driver.

Now, Brandon Francisco, the person of interest in the case, has been apprehended in St. Joseph, Missouri, by the U.S. Marshals. He had active warrants out of Rapides Parish, La.

Francisco is thought to be the last person to communicate and be with Goodie. He had a warrant out for his arrest because he didn’t show up to a hearing the day that Goodie was last observed.

It is unknown if that is the warrant that Francisco was apprehended on or not.

Goodie’s 2012 Audi Q5 with Texas license plate NRN6551 was observed last on I-10 going toward Texas. Close to 12 hours after that, cameras spotted her car returning to Louisiana. However, the following day, the vehicle was back in an area north of Dallas.

Goodie is described as a 5-foot, 3-inch Black woman who is around 170 lbs. Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is urged to contact the Scott Police Department at 337-233-3715 or the nearest law enforcement agency.
