NYC Teacher Hannah Upp Still Missing

0908upp.jpgSome more info about 23-year-old missing school teacher, Hannah Upp, who works at Thurgood Marshall Academy in Harlem. WNBC reports police want the public's help in finding her. A source says cops "don't suspect foul play" since "she may have been unhappy in her job," though many close to her say she was looking forward to the school year. Her brother told ABC that she "isn't some naive small-town girl off to the big city thinking the world is made of cotton candy and gumdrops." The NY Post reports friends have "posted fliers throughout Times Square, where she last used her ATM card at a movie theater." And on the Facebook page they created, they say Upp enjoys running in two parks--presumably Jackie Robinson and St. Nicholas, which are both near her apartment (where she left her keys, wallet, ID and other belongings).

uh-oh....was she seeing Gary Condit?

If being unhappy in your job makes you likely to disappear without a word to friends and family then most of New York should be missing right now!

Does anyone know how unhappy she really was? The fact that she left everything behind makes me nervous - I hope she didn't hurt herself.

It takes a lot of balls to work in the NYC school system.

Why would she leave her keys behind? Sounds like she was planning something.

Hmm, that first picture from the other day was a bit more flattering...
