A reader has just written in to inform us about her friend who has been missing for a little less than a week. Hanna Upp (pictured) is a 23-year-old Spanish teacher in the NYC school system, and was last seen on August 29th near her home in Hamilton Terrace. According to her roommates she had planned to go away last weekend, but was returning by Sunday. When she didn't return, they went into her room and found "her keys, her phone, and her handbag containing her wallet. Her ATM card, her subway card, and her ID (right now just her passport) were all in there." The police are on the case, and her friends have started a Facebook page to inform others about the situation. If you have seen Hannah Upp or have any other information regarding the case, contact the 30th Precinct.
