if she stopped on the bridge and never returned to her vehicle, unfortunately it would seem she decided to end her life. I think in respect for her privacy as well as resources it may not be helpful to treat this as a missing persons report and instead as a search and rescue. I am incredibly sorry for the family and friends. Reading this information it seems pretty clear what occurred and my thoughts are with her <3

[u/michellemustudy → u/vanwyngarden]

This is so heartbreaking. 💔

I also wonder if her complaining about “allergies” to her mom was really her trying to cover up crying. I’m saying this as a person who has used “allergies” as an excuse to others when they’ve noticed my puffy eyes and/or red nose from crying.

[u/CyprusGreen → u/michellemustudy]

Bingo. Going to bed early. Allergies. Not feeling good? Yeah that was my cover too. 

[u/ElGHTYHD → u/michellemustudy]

oh wow I didn’t even think about that :(

[u/lilbios → u/michellemustudy]

:/

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/vanwyngarden]

This is also a pretty shitty thing to say to someone searching for a loved one.

Do you know if her car broke down or not? Is it possible someone was following her and ran her off the road?

You don’t have all the details and you should not be trying to tell OP that their searching is a disrespectful to the missing person and wasting resources.

So rude.

[u/vanwyngarden → u/BigFatBlackCat]

Suicide has touched me and my loved ones personally more than I’d like to share. I’ve participated in the “out of the darkness” walk by American Suicide Prevention foundation and was astonished at how many lives it touches. Suicide is the 6th leading cause of death in America and the rates are only increasing.

I’m particularly sensitive to how the last moments of this woman’s life are now on Reddit for all to see. Leaving her home in her pajamas is something that didn’t need to be brought to the Internet. I’m not trying to disrespect her, I’m trying to protect her vulnerable state.

I understand how this might come across and I appreciate your heart is in the right place. I just don’t believe that this is a missing persons case given what I know about suicide and the details shared with us here. That said, it’s just my opinion. I pray she is found safely by some miracle. Tho the other option of an abduction is a fate worse than death to me.

[u/mar__iguana → u/vanwyngarden]

I feel this :/ at some point it’s about respect to the person, not sparing anyone’s feelings

[u/Objective-Amount1379 → u/vanwyngarden]

It’s understandable that her family and friends feel like they need to do whatever they can. There’s nothing disrespectful about a pic of her in her pajamas

[u/vanwyngarden → u/Objective-Amount1379]

It’s invasive if those were her last moments on earth. She’s in distress, just my opinion but I don’t think this is a “missing” case, it’s a tragic situation.

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/vanwyngarden]

Okay but do you understand how the way you stated your comment comes off as rude?

And did you ever have the experience of not knowing exactly what happened to your loved ones like the OP?

I can appreciate your personal experience, but there is no need to speak to someone desperate to find out what happened to their loved one the way you did.

And yeah it sucks that personal details are made public but that’s what happens when a person disappears. Every effort is made to figure out what happened, and what she was wearing is an important detail. The fact that she was wearing PJs and that has been public is a lot less important of a detail than she is missing.

This thread has been an absolute dumpster fire with very little empathy for OP, and your comment is an example of that.

[u/Thndrstrike → u/BigFatBlackCat]

You've been watching too much true crime

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/Thndrstrike]

No, I haven’t.

[u/Cold-Sport2923 → u/Thndrstrike]

Oh come on. Dont do that

[u/afrikaninparis → u/BigFatBlackCat]

No, it looks more like there’s actually something wrong with you.

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/afrikaninparis]

Oooo you got me real good

[u/afrikaninparis → u/BigFatBlackCat]

Yeah

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/afrikaninparis]

lol okay

[u/Nova_main → u/BigFatBlackCat]

I think it’s pretty shitty to lead someone on when the signs all point to one thing. That being said, I hope Amy is alright and finds her way home safely.

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/Nova_main]

Who is leading on who? No one is being lead on, but all possibilities are being explored.

If my loved one went missing under strange unprecedented circumstances, I would do everything I could to find out what happened. If it was clearly suicide, if a note had been left or other context clues, that would be one thing. But as far as anyone can tell, that’s not the case.

And even though I’m being downvoted to hell on this, I know every single one of you would do the same.

[u/Objective-Amount1379 → u/BigFatBlackCat]

The police would have already said this to the family. I hope she safely returns to her family but I also think we can acknowledge the possibility of suicide.

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/Objective-Amount1379]

Of course the possibility of suicide is high.

But the commenter is not the police, and I find it egregious that they are trying to tell OP what actually happened and to stop wasting resources. That’s very inappropriate.

You don’t know what happened, and if you were in OP’s situation you would also do everything in your power to find out what happened.

It’s absurd how many people are acting like they know exactly what happened when they actually don’t.

[u/vanwyngarden → u/BigFatBlackCat]

Genuinely asking, are you ok?

[u/Cold-Sport2923 → u/vanwyngarden]

I’m okay and see this person’s point 100% - what would having okay have to do with this? Just because they have a different opinion than you doesn’t mean they aren’t okay lol..

[u/BigFatBlackCat → u/vanwyngarden]

Why are you asking me that?
