She is 30 years old. She is allowed not to have contact with her family or anyone else regardless if the reason is due to mental health issues. She hasn't been abducted or trafficked or manipulated. She isn't in immediate danger to herself or others.

It is awful that there are bonafide missing people who are out there and not getting any publicity because of this case.

Because she’s pretty, that’s why.

Why do we think the dad committed suicide?

Family is trying to cover up saying he was distraught about not being able to find her. I'm not buying it. It makes no sense...... he was hiding something.

He was grief-stricken and took his life in despair after searching everywhere to no avail.

No. Not buying it. She was still sending messages at that point.

They’re looking for stuff to do now that they failed to prevent Trump from getting re-elected (or get him assassinated) and need to get back to investing crime rather than being a engorged appendage of the democrat party.

How’s that Kool-Aid anyway? You should try a different flavor.

Can you be charged with wasting police resources if you go voluntarily missing? Like I get cutting off contact with your family, everyone is allowed to do that (of course!). But is everyone allowed to waste millions of dollars in resources because you don't want to talk to your family?

(She COULD let the police know she is safe and what the deal is if she wanted to right? They wouldn't have to tell her family where she is or anything just that she contacted them and they are ending the investigation).

Like this guy https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/a-kayaker-faked-his-own-death-and-fled-overseas-now-hes-telling-how-he-did-it/ar-AA1uw2Vy?ocid=BingNewsSerp

At least he came forward eventually. But I think missing people are often just escaping and restarting their lives.

She sounds mental.
Lots of newage drivel.

Sad that resources were wasted cause she was pretty.

Any new about the father's suicide?

[Anonymous]

What would be the ulterior motive for the family misleading the public?

[Anonymous]

I personally think she was living under a tremendous amount of personal turmoil in her life & needed a quick escape from it all.

Or maybe she wanted to fake her own death which may have been the reason that she sent her family those concerning text messages from the airport.

It is sad that her Father allegedly killed himself due to her circumstances which was a tad odd considering that she had not been declared legally dead yet.

Reminds me of that Netflix documentary about the young woman who stopped taking her meds while on a trip to LA. She was seen acting erratically on a hotel security camera and ended up dead in a water tower on the roof.

Elisa Lam?

That was an odd case.
But I do not think that case is in any way similar to this one since in that case the young girl did not purposely go missing.

I believe she may have just accidentally got submerged in that water tank.
It could have been a homicide - however it likely was just a tragic accident for that poor girl. 💔

I agree - was there some sort of abuse in the family that she was running from? He freaked out that it would get out and so he took his life? So many ways this could go.

I had a coworker in a similar situation. His wife was cheating and he had a psychotic break and flew back to his home country where his family hadn't lived since his childhood. His parents were in a panic and looked everywhere for him, it was apparently big news in that language's media. Finally they found him 6 months later living on the street. He didn't want anything to do with his parents and said he just wanted his wife back.

Do you think she feels any remorse that her dad died looking for her?

I disagree. I contributed to the Go Fund Me. If she is in Mexico and they use the money to find a private detective to identify her location, great. They are also using it for funeral expenses for the father. I hope they locate her and use any remaining money to get her services and heal the family. This to me speaks to the difficulty families face when an adult member is in some kind of distress, it's very difficult to intervene legally before or even when something like this happens. "Shes an adult" etc. I would not want my adult child wandering around mexico without a phone or a plan, gosh. I hope they find her. Happy to have contributed.

Sounds like someone has an episode of mental illness. Thinking someone is always after them, so they fight or flight. Normal people fight and those with mental illness tend to flight.

Too sad for the father. He probably knew the daughter has some type of mental issue. People dealing with mental illness as a family member feels hopeless.

NP, I agree. There's something super sketchy about the dad.
