What's really sad about Hannah's story is that there are measures in place to protect people like her.

Regarding the guy found in his car, just because someone appears sober after drinks doesnt mean s/he can't lose sobriety when they retreat back to a safe or private space. I have witnessed that firsthand a few times, where they seem fully sober when they left the bar, but needed my help getting in the car parked outside maybe 30 feet away. So to me, it's entirely plausible that William was drunk but held up his image in the bar. On his way home or wherever, he misses a few turns and then finally drove into the pond

[@WhoamI-yz9nx]

Once, as a teen, I drank about half a bottle of wine with my friend. We were just sitting on a bench drinking and I felt almost completely sober. Then I stood up; and the next thing I remember after that is waking up in a drunk tank and being told to go home lol

Man, I know a lot of people have problems with anxiety and stress aversion, but I can't imagine being so anxious about starting a new job that I completely dissociate

[@QueenZap]

I have pretty severe anxiety, now it’s never gotten so bad for me like it did for Hannah. But anxiety is your brain “trying to keep you safe”. So if it’s bad enough, it can happen and it’s terrifying! You can end up having lots of memory gaps depending on how bad it gets and how long it lasts. People are being so mean about Hannah, but if she is really dead I hope she has found peace. Living with mental issues, especially anxiety can be a living hell.

[@lunaequinox7333]

Sadly I can. I tend to suffer from “blackouts” (periods of repressed memory) following panic attacks due to having an anxiety disorder. While I don’t necessarily dissociate in the conventional sense, it can still leave me very confused at times. I also tend to hyperfixate during panic attacks, so even what I do remember tends to be rather limited. It can be very unsettling and makes me feel for Hannah all the more.

[@katfayegarrett3872]

Ppl with cptsd are really good at dissociation. I'm not too surprised.

[@justoverit]

Fugue states are weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@316lvmnoneofyourbusiness7]

Dissociation is usually due to underlying trauma - good and bad. Stress and anxiety are some symptoms of the trauma. In some cases, it can lead to Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly Multiple Personality Disorder. In my case, when my psych doc told me my DID was in remission I flipped out. Apparently, for the last 20+ years I've had this diagnosis, but "never knew" because I have maybe a handful of memories of my life. That day, I guess all of "us" were on the same page and I heard the diagnosis. So I called my best friend since 3rd grade (40+ years we've been best friends ) and asked her about it. She confirmed that there are 3 personalities and explained to me who these personalities were. I asked her what had happened to me, but she refused to tell me what my childhood was like because it was so horrible she didn't want to talk about it and retraumatize me all over again. Another thing people don't understand is that anything that overstresses the brain and nervous system - be it good or bad - is traumatic.

[@littlebear274]

I tend to think that the younger someone is when they go missing the more likely that they were kidnapped for adoption. Four is probably about the upper limit. It's most likely a lot less common these days with how closely people are able to be tracked - in the past there was little stopping you from just moving to another town and using a different name but we're much more surveilled and identified now even before you take DNA into account. A lot of people still live fairly off the grid though.

[@CYMotorsport]

3 things to add to the first story that I think make this feel all but solved atleast IMO. 1. Quakerism & Pendle Hill 2. Her father's mission work 3. Her Montessori degree The first 2 are wrapped in eachother. You correctly touched on the religious aspect of her life but this is pretty important because her parents werent just casual Western Christians... the split you reference was her father being closer to a missionary but the kind of evangelist who does the literally "building" work in small nations or ones where the gospel isn't even known. One belief of note that her mother and father starkly deviated was homosexuality and her father's staunch belief in favor of "biblical morality" without "compromise with sexual deviance". After their divorce, her mother went to not just any compound, but Pendle Hill. Which is a well established Quaker Mecca of sorts. Interestingly, Quakerism is a bit split on homosexuality. Atleast it's not as clear cut as her father's position. Which is notable because it was confirmed in a New Yorker article in 2018 that had heavy involvement with her mother and it seems very thorough and credible that Hannah was dating a woman as early as her junior year at Bryn Mawr. Most reports only cite her graduation from Pace but that was graduate school. She went to Bryn though which is important because of it's ties to Quakerism and also her possible developing sexuality. When you add on her trips to see her father while also spending time with her mother at Pendle Hill where she also worked by the way, you can imagine how one might be EXTREMELY torn in their personality with this aspect of their life extremely divided by her parents no less who don't even speak to eachother. You cant be half committed to the life either parent was living. And Hannah was stuck in the middle. Which is complicated by the aforementioned relationship - only relevant to point to the kind of stress one would be under. she usually took these trips to see her father in the summer or during breaks. The interesting thing for me is this first incident was her 2nd year teaching at Thurgood, not her first. so the first day jitters wouldn't have applied here. she's already experienced this. However, imo something could have changed in her personal life. I also think it's possible she made a trip to see her father before but I can't 100% confirm this however this would make perfect sense. add on the stress of a new year, it could have easily put her over the top and into fugue. I actually think this is very credible. You mention she "checked" her email at the apple store but police confirmed she never actually read an email. so she either stared at the screen scanning email subjects or did it as a habit of muscle memory which i think the latter is more likely. So a fugue here seems highly credible. Also worth noting - this was the EXACT same time as the major stock market crash. no one ever mentions that for some reason. she's literally in the financial capital of the world. I was worked on a high yield & a high grade bond desk at that time - sht was insane. her world would be upside down at this time in september 2008. it Her 2nd disappearance would be much of the same. This was the first day of work away from Pendle Hill & her support structure. I'm not sure what reports you saw mention it being prestigious but still it would be HIGHLY stressful especially bc for some reason taking the job in Maryland. I would imagine she would stay near to a support structure. She seemed to be constant in a fight for change away from her traumatic event which may have potentially provided the exact kind of fuel to trigger it again. Which appears happened in her second fugue state. As for her third, this is where #3 comes into play. This is when she proved she could successfully negotiate such a major change in her life but keep in mind she wasn't head teacher in St. Thomas.She only just finished her degree to do so that summer so now she's be able to lead her own class in the Montessori system. So it seemed as she aged she became much better equipped to handle the stress. she showed up for the first day, then the first week no problem. it wasn't only until Force majeure would kick off the next and final fugue: an act of god so profoundly unlucky in the form of consecutive hurricanes in Irma and Maria. When add you in the fact that she was likely already under a lot of pressure and stress to finally make this work with the weight of a class on her shoulders (montessori's system are unique to teaching in normal schools and she was a huge believer in the system), the devastation of Irma and maria would add immense pressure because keep in mind - this place had essentially changed her and in many ways saved her from her previous fear of losing herself. she didn't want to leave. in fact the investigation showed she spoke to an ex who was ferrying ppl to safety and she told him directly she was can't leave. But she certainly should have. One last thing i found interesting picking this back up was Barbara told The New Yorker journalist something she hadn't mentioned before which was she herself had actually experienced what her daughter is experiencing when she got her divorce - disassociating for a much shorter time but the event she described is powerful. I found that fascinating and something i'lll likely look at later. thanks for re-opening this! hard to explain how much this gripped new york around this time. I was there actually and this was in the midst of that crash and it still grabbed headlines!

Wonderfully written and well thought out reply, I really enjoyed hearing your take on the situation. I just can't get my head around what eventually happened to her, and what the bodies of what have to do with it.

It's pretty well-known by now in the unsolved mystery communities that if someone goes missing with their car, they're probably in water. It's the easiest way to hide a car.

[@Eviltwin531]

I remember an episode of the Unsolved Mysteries series where a couple had disappeared and they weren't discovered until decades later... when a recent drought lowered the water levels in a nearby pond enough for their car to be spotted where they drove off the night they vanished. Pre-Google Earth satellite photos, it was really hard to spot a car underwater. Most areas didn't have the resources for helicopter photos, and while you might get lucky and have a local farmer willing to fly a photographer over in their cropduster to take photos, if the water's murky at all, that's pretty much useless.

Has a low tolerance for stress…takes one of the most stressful jobs going 🤔

[@MegCazalet]

I knew Hannah’s older brother (friends know him as Wally) in college, which was before she went missing the first time. His Facebook posts each time she was lost were extremely sad. He was stationed overseas and would get some leave to be with his family back in the States. Last I checked I think he was in Japan, having started a family. Every time I see Hannah’s story on one of these channels or on Reddit, it makes me think of Wally. He had to take on so much responsibility, searching for Hannah, helping Hannah, helping the family, and dealing with the press representing the family. And his little sister died. Hannah and her family got a TON of cruel judgement each time, then of course it got even worse after she died. First, everyone said she was a criminal and liar, then people made fun of her, and now people still act like she was all of that and worse, like she wasn’t an adult with a life to live, and judge her and her family extremely harshly. It’s happening in these comments already. Edited to particularly add more to this part: What witnessing a tiny bit of the trauma of Hannah’s tragic case has taught me is that we can never know the full story of any case we hear, no matter how much we think we know, or how many blanks we think we can just fill in, and when we make such harsh judgements based on very little, we could be just making the pain and suffering worse.

[@Tsumami__]

She’s absolutely a liar lol. She’s not a criminal because women like Hannah don’t get held accountable for their attention seeking behavior even when it costs the state or county money or causes other people trauma.

[@MegCazalet]

@@Tsumami__ “Women like Hannah”. Here’s a prime example right here, folks, of my point exactly. I shouldn’t need to add that the misogyny was rampant, too.

[@astralb.2647]

Adults with disabilities should have a proper care system in place in case something happens. In Hannah's case, this would have saved her life. Even with a chaperone or a tracking device, she could have lived a normal life. It's tragic that the lack of support cost a young woman her life.

[@MegCazalet]

@@astralb.2647 And you don’t know what attempts were made to support her, or what hurdles there were in doing so. That’s my point. You pass judgement based on very little information, when life if not so simple, in fact is extremely complicated, nuanced, and challenging. Especially in dealing with a legal adult. Another reply which seems to be missing and reinforcing my point.

[@demo2823]

​@@MegCazaletWhen the video doesn't provide information on what measures were put in place to prevent her from disappearing again, it's natural for people to assume nothing was done and discuss prevention methods. You are just too close to the situation to feel comfortable with that happening. As for her being an adult, there comes a time when your safety is more important than a sense of freedom and anonymity. People with Alzheimer's have to make the choice to either be limited in movement or to be tracked 24/7. Sure Hannah didn't have memory lapses as often as someone with Alzheimer's but she was a proven danger to herself every time it did happen.

[@frank3508]

In the case of Hannah, it sounds to me like she suffered from recurring bouts of very deep psychogenic fugue, a condition which is not necessarily constant and may even be sporadic and completely unpredictable, brought on or forced to the surface by certain external stimuli or audio/visual/olfactory triggers which act as precursors or gateways to the event.

I never lose my keys. They're always in my pocket, my pajamas even have pockets so if my keys are not in a pocket, most likely in whatever vehicle I'm driving. When in the shower, they're on a hook, in the shower with me. If I happen to be wearing a dress or skirt that has no pockets, I feel nakie, but I'll put them in my purse, I don't like it but there you have it. I'm a bit OCD about them but can assure you, I never lose them or lock myself out of anything! 😅

[@EEEEEEEEEK]

[@JKSSubstandard]

Theres an entire youtube channel dedicated to finding cars of missing people in ponds. Adventures with Purpose. Id actually venture to say, that a rather high number of unsolved disappearances can be attributed to people making mistakes and driving off roads into lakes, ponds and rivers. Especially those with drugs or alcohol in their system, mental impairment or some other distraction to their faculties. A lot of roads just end or abruptly turn at bodies of water. And all it takes is a moment of impairment or confusion and a little speed to be hidden at the bottom of the water

[@sjc4]

You don't even need to be impaired! Picture driving on a (55mph) road that is not lit in anyway other than your headlights. Then picture the yellow line separating on coming traffic being super faded. Then picture the white line on the right side being almost completely gone. It's pitch black and raining! Ya! That was a white knuckled drive home from the beach! Glad they finally painted those lines!!! I'm pretty stubborn and want to drive the speed limit, not under, I seriously thought I was going to drive myself right off that road on one of the many curves! I don't think I blinked at all! 👀

"Doctors tried to hypnotize her". This does not recovery memories. It creates false memories. Dr. Elizabeth Loftus' work on memory is a good place to start about the myth of recovered memories.

[@MikadoYuma]

Yeah, hypnotism should be considered a pseudoscience in my opinion. Whenever I hear about it I just can't help but to question its validity.

[@sorbabaric1]

I’ve heard it helped someone with an eating disorder after trauma. And an acquaintance used hypnotism as part of her 3 pronged approach to quit smoking, that was successful. But was that the hypnotism specifically, or the additional attention and focus of a counseling session. I would not trust that genuine memories can be “uncovered” or “brought to the surface” somehow by hypnotism. Too much outside influence and agenda involved.

[@hariman7727]

Even worse: "Both times you had memory lapses you were found attempting to drown yourself."

It's not 'black out' in the sense that she fainted, it's 'black out' in the sense that she loses her memories. Swimming isn't any more dangerous than any other activity people do with a dissociative fugue diagnosis.

William, the car in the pond guy, was diagnosed with terminal cancer but was still trying to battle it. Its thought he drove off the road at a high speed intentionally..... I know it was said he called his gf and said he was on his way home, so why do that and then intentionally end your life but it does happen. I had a friend with terminal brain cancer, he got up one morning, showered, got dressed and waited until his wife an kids were outside, they had made plans for the day, instead he put a shotgun in his mouth, wrapped his head in a comforter and ate the bullet. He made those plans for that day knowing he wasn't going to see the end of the day.
