A decent looking woman goes missing, bloggers unite, Facebook groups form & she turns out to be just your average loon who can't hack life in the big city? What a waste of time & "news." Well, teachers don't make a lot of money. Maybe she was hoping this would result in a tv movie, like that woman who got arrested for her library books last month?

"absolutely beautiful? whoa, let's not get carried away" ------- "LOL - No kidding." ------- "She has the face of a three day old "floater." ------- ah...right: three-percenters. You wouldn't like the taste of the food I eat, either.

It's all very unfortunate given that the school year has just begun. She still had plenty of time to find the 13 yo love of her life....

"She's absolutely beautiful..."? Huh? She has the face of a three day old "floater."

Unstable. Why does the dept. of ed always attract these winners?

Reminds me of that runaway bride scammerella a few years back.

Think about the children please! Have they been sitting in a classroom all this time waiting for their teacher to show? I guess she figured that Staten Island really isn't really what it's cracked up to be and started swimming back?

I feel kinda suicidal at the beginning of each school year myself. I sympathize.

I have a friend like this who's bi-polar. It's tough being friends with wackjobs. I went to the All points west festival and she made me depressed at a radiohead concert. Unbelievable. I'm always talking her out of her depression but I'm just fed up now.

The first few posts by Gothamist commenters, with their astounding lack of sarcasm of mockery, were beginning to worry me. Thank you, zodak!

""She's absolutely beautiful..." whoa, let's not get carried away." LOL - No kidding.

I'm glad she's all right, but I wish that the thousands of mentally ill people who populate our streets garnered even a small fraction of the attention paid to her.

Maybe she figured, after getting caught checking email while she was supposed to be 'missing,' that she'd better do SOMETHING. Or was this a serious attempt? I gotta get out of TV. It's making me cynical as hell.

Where was the crew of that ferry when Spalding Gray took his fatal dive?

seconded, glad there was no foul play involved. well except for yesterday's lehman news, maybe that drove her over the edge.

I imagined the worst also. It seems a miracle that she was rescued. I hope she gets the help she needs.

She's absolutely beautiful and depressed and I actually haven't dated her for 1-3 years! My life must be improving.

If it was an attempted suicide, I hope she takes hope from the fact that most of the city was looking for her and we're really pleased she's still with us. :-)

I was worried that it was going to end like this. Thankfully, she's physically okay and hopefully on her way to get the help she needs.
