OP so you know, your SM feeds will show you more and more of whatever you watch and interact with. So it’s just a reflection of what you love/fear/hate basically. It doesn’t mean anything about what’s happening or changing in the real world.

Thank you for the update! I am so relieved they are found!

5004 D St. SE is the Ward 7 family homeless shelter. So assuming that's where she was last seen, she was obviously struggling before this.

Lately for some reason my instagram feed is full of missing people, mostly children. How many DMV people per month or year go missing and are not found?

From what I’ve heard before, with children, it is often the non-custodial parent taking the child which leads to the missing child report. I assume those are usually resolved with a safe child. Sometimes it is an elderly person with dementia or a runaway teen. A couple times a suicidal person in midlife. All of it is distressing. But in this case, a woman and baby? I hope she and the baby are found safe.

In DC, very very few. missing.dc.gov lists them and says that over 99% of missing person cases are closed, often very quickly. That doesn't always mean the person is found alive, unfortunately. From 2018-2022 there were a total of 7 people who were reported missing whose cases haven't been closed (I'm not counting 2023 since some of the people have not been missing very long). Of the 7, one was experiencing a mental health crisis and may have died by suicide, and one was an infant whose mother said he died and she threw the body out but it was never found (and the mother was subsequently murdered by the baby's father). I don't know enough about the other 5 to say, but suffice it to say stranger abduction is extremely extremely rare and when people go missing that usually isn't why.

I too hope the mother and baby here are safe. Postpartum mental illness and sleep deprivation can be a very serious combination--not saying that's the case here but I hope they are found healthy and soon.

PP - how do you know this?
Curious is there is an update online.

Kristin and her baby are still missing and the family is very concerned for their safety. A woman spotted Kristin on Thursday an hour before reading the NBC news article. Kristin's family spoke with her. She said Kristin looked "very scared." Police canvassed the area on Friday and Saturday to no avail. Kristin was last seen walking out of her apartment pushing the stroller on Dec 29; seemingly to just go for a walk. There is a man walking next to her who police are attempting to identify.

Drugs

Is it possible that she escaped an abusive husband and is in hiding?

The Reddit thread on this shares an alleged post by her brother, who says she was spotted yesterday.

Not a good area. T

A mother and her baby? I hope they are safe, wherever they are. I hope it is not DV.

hopefully it is not murder suicide
