A Life, Interrupted - Hannah Upp's Missing Three Weeks

Hannah Emily Upp went for a jog along Riverside Drive, then vanished. She was fished out of New York Harbor nearly three weeks later, alive. What happened in the interim is a still mostly mystery. A case of amnesia or more modernly dissociative fugue. Her life right now mostly consists of regaining her memories of herself and more intently where she was during those three weeks. Doctors feel she had a pretty typical case, with traveling being a know symptom. And travel she did, in the Riverside Park area. Her only physical injury was a blistered heel, and she disappeared while jogging, and apparently lived right in her jogging outfit that whole time. She has a true miracle happy ending. She was rescued face down in the water by two men in a skiff who left a tug boat to get her. I imagine they were surprised when she gasped for air as they pulled her into the skiff. thus, ending up in the hospital and ending her missing status, she has begun to rebuild. A fascinating story!
