A 19-year-old St. John's student who had been missing since January 20 was reunited with her family yesterday. Erica Desai was last seen by a cousin who dropped her off at a dorm, and her family worried that something might have happened to her. A surveillance tape seemed to show a woman of Indian descent using her ATM card, raising questions whether she was missing or AWOL. Now, NY1 reports that Desai "called police late last night after seeing herself on television...Police say she was embarrassed about being expelled from school" for using someone else's credit card "...They also say she's been riding the trains for days." Desai initially told police she was abducted, but then admitted to running away.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Now she's even more of a disgrace to her family.
Like I stated before, what a waste of resources!
There are plenty of missing people in this city who have been abducted or worse.
Ugh! I hate attention whores! Go back home!
Lemme guess....poor little rich girl?
I'd Bang her !!!
I'd Bhangra her!!
It's OK. We've got plenty of tax money to throw around looking for people who aren't really missing.
Why do you people always blame the person who went missing? How about blaming the idiots who wasted resources looking for her?
"I hate attention whores!"
How does running away, hiding for days, and contacting no one make one an "attention whore?"
"How about blaming the idiots who wasted resources looking for her?"
Pretty unlikely really that much effort or time went into looking for her, at least from the NYPD. Missing adults aren't a priority in any case, there was no evidence of a crime, and in fact it seemed pretty obvious that she had just taken off. The police are never going to say that, but there's no way they were out searching the streets for her.
Two big things that had me convinced this would be the outcome: the pic at the ATM, which looked a lot like her, and that she was dropped off by a relative at the dorm but she had already been expelled (so obviously can't live there any more). That seems to say that she hadn't told her family what happened in spite of having spent the holidays with them.
You answered your own question.
So by running away, hiding for days, contacting no one, using an ATM and being shown on the news, you don't think that's crying for attention?
Give me a break.
She has no control if her picture is shown on the news. The streets are full of runaways and the media ignores most of them.
Ok, she has no control over media coverage, but she did CHOOSE not to get in contact and worry her friends and family.
That is why I don't feel any pity for her. She's not a small child or teen, she's in college and should know right from wrong.
What a dork.
Hope she recovers. People are being a little harsh here. People go missing all the time. You have to look for them, whether or not they turn out to be an attention whore. Would you all rather she turn up dead?
so was that her using her card or a stolen card?
she must have really hated her parents, she picked st. john's.
I'll go slumdog millionaire on her ass. I'll leave you to interpret what it means cause I can't figure it out either.
You're going to steal her Amitabh Bachchan autograph and sell it to some guy after she jumped into a pile of doo to get it.
...and then fend off the terrorists in the lobby of the Taj Mahal Hotel only to be dragged away by your nanny?
when she was reunited with her family really loud music started playing and everybody danced on the streets as the credits rolled.
