This world sucks. I’m not blaming anyone or anything but that breaks my heart that suck a promising young life felt that she couldn’t go on any longer. Her poor family and all who loved her. My heart breaks for her and for them.

So sad, she was a beautiful girl with her life ahead of her. Her family must be heartbroken,

Terribly sad. Very unnerving to think how quickly the young minds of seemingly well rounded kids can turn so desperately hopeless. Happens so frequently and for so many every day.

She traveled 91 miles in 122 hours in a river that is flowing downstream at around 5-6 knots

I’m surprised the body wasn’t further down the river tbh.

The above is in reply to the person who doesn’t understand how rivers work.

Prayers to the family. Terrible event.

I find it surprising the body made it that distance without getting hung up on something.

My dad worked on the river. He fell in and ended up 2 miles down in 10 minutes. It’s not anything you want to mess with.

Around 2004 I went to Albany, NY for a Conference for Missing Children. I can assure you, after seeing the pain in the eyes of those parents...you are 100% correct. The NOT KNOWING is WAY WORSE.
