Fae's Facebook page. She has a lot more photos of herself on there which might be helpful in recognizing her. Fae Barbone

I think this is Fae's FB page.

She looks trans (which brings its own risks), but of course my apologies if I am wrong!
Where are you Fae? We are worried about you!
<hugs>

Yes, it was indeed an incredible distance. Fae was last seen in Williamstown Ma and her car was found the same day in Augusta Maine. According to google, that drive is just shy of 5 hours (272 miles). By my driving it would be 4 and a half hours.

Was it Fae that drove her car all that way? Was it an attacker that drove all that way?
Do we know what Fae's mental state was at the time? (understanding that this does not eliminate possible crime against her)

Where are you Fae?

I don't think the car has been found. I think it was only spotted in Augusta, ME. Maybe by a passing license plate reader (just a guess)?

I wonder why the ATM has a date/time stamp from the afternoon of March 6th, 2024, but the Namus listing seems to imply it's from the 7th.

Says it was parked on a street in Augusta. Doesn't say whether or not it was recovered.
The Massachusetts State Police Instagram Facebook entry on the case, which should automatically update if there are any updates:

So the outstanding question is whether Fae actually made it as far as Augusta Maine.
And, if the car was found there by LE and retained.

This came out this morning. I live there. They're out searching. It's not a camping area like she was at in Maine. It's just hiking trails up to Berlin Mountain which is in NY.

This is a topo of the area. Berlin Rd is in the middle. There are only a few houses in the area. It's right near where Christopher Reeve had a huge house-if anyone else remembers him!

Fae Morgana Barbone’s car was found near a remote hiking trail at the end of Berlin Road along the New York-Massachusetts border, NewsChannel 13’s media partners at The Berkshire Eagle reported.

New York State Police are now involved in the search for a missing person from Williamstown, Massachusetts.

The case got a major break at around 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 19, when someone reported a suspicious vehicle parked in Williamstown at the end of Berlin Road, a rural, isolated hiking area near the state line.

A check of the Ford Fiesta’s registration confirmed it belonged to Barbone, police said.

Due to the remote location and difficult terrain, Williamstown Police called in additional search crews to look for the woman, including New York and Massachusetts state police and environmental conservation police. Crews also used drones and a K-9 unit but found no sign of Barbone.

A “large presence” of law enforcement was back out in the area on Wednesday, March 20, police said. Residents were advised to avoid traveling to the end of Berlin Road due to a lack of parking or areas to turn around.

Curiouser and curiouser.
Where are you Fae? I hope you are ok. If your are, please let someone you trust know.

Does anyone know if they can get a warrant to search her cell phone activity? I'm sure that's going to take some time since she's an adult and police may think she's missing on her own accord. That's a huge gap in time from when she was last spotted or heard from. Wonder if she went to meet someone in Maine since they mentioned she spent time there.

Does anyone know how close the Taconic Crest Trail is to where her car was found?

Never mind, I googled, it looks like her car was left maybe at an access point for the trail? There's a point on the map marked 'Berlin Mt. Road Trail Access'.
