CLAREMONT, N.H. -
It's a mother's desperate appeal to missing son.
"We just want you to know that we love you unconditionally," Joanne Davis said.
Davis' son, Nick Washburn, 26, crashed Friday night on a bridge connecting Claremont, New Hampshire, to Ascutney, Vermont. Police barricades still mark where his vehicle hit the guardrail.
Washburn's car was totaled, but what happened to the young father remains a mystery. The icy waters of the Connecticut River have his mom fearing the worst.
"It was so dark out he could have tripped and be lying somewhere and we just don't know," Davis said.
Claremont police are not only investigating Washburn's bizarre disappearance, but the violent episode allegedly leading up to the crash.
"Friday night about 12 after nine we received a call for a serious domestic violence assault," Claremont Police Chief Alex Scott said. "We responded to that scene. We were investigating that and through that we learned Mr. Washburn was a suspect in that case."
At the same time, police got word it was Washburn who crashed on the Main Street bridge. For the past two days, N.H. Fish and Game, and Marine Patrol have been scouring the area by land, air and boat. No clues have surfaced.
"While that canine search did lead us off of the bridge, it was inconclusive," Scott said.
Washburn's Facebook page is full of pleas from family members looking for answers. Davis says her son was upset when he left home.
"His home life and the family situation was difficult," she said. "They were going through a lot of changes."
She says he was not dressed for the elements and left his cellphone behind. She now pleads that despite any trouble, she just wants her only son to come home.
"We need you. Your son needs you. Your family needs you and we miss you and we're very worried and we just want to find you," Davis said.
There are warrants out for Washburn's arrest related to the domestic violence incident. Police are working to locate him, but say at this point his well-being is their top priority.
Anyone with information on Friday night's events or Washburn's whereabouts is asked to call Claremont police at 603-542-9538.
