Woman mysteriously disappears....twice
How Teacher Hannah Upp Was Lost and Found Twice
By Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Healthy Living – 20 hours ago
On Thursday, Hannah Upp, a teacher from Maryland, was found unharmed after family and friends reported her missing two days earlier.
Upp’s disappearance was all too familiar. Five years ago, she sparked a New York City-wide search after she vanished at the start of the school year. At the time, Upp, then 23 and a Spanish teacher, went for a jog near her apartment, and three weeks later, was found by a ferry crew; she was badly sunburned and floating in the Hudson River.
She had no memory of the three weeks, nor did she remember how she ended up in the murky water. Trauma experts believed that she suffered from a rare disorder known as dissociative fugue. The sudden and spontaneous amnesia is characterized by a loss of identity, coupled with prolonged, seemingly directionless wandering.
It’s unclear whether a relapse was responsible for Upp’s most recent disappearance. Montgomery County police were alerted to her disappearance on Tuesday, after she failed to show up for her job as a teaching assistant at a Maryland-area Montessori school. A co-worker spotted Upp, now 28, around the time she was supposed to be in class. She was out walking, miles away from the school. Her personal belongings were then found on a footpath, according to police, prompting concerns about her well-being.
