That’s odd. Both the fact that they haven’t been able to talk to the doctor’s office and the idea of anything nefarious happening in that part of Bethesda on a Saturday morning. I wonder if she was walking toward Wisconsin Ave, or toward the bike trail.

She's an acquaintance--we have many close friends in common. I'm very worried and not hearing much detail.

I’m sorry you have to go through this. I don’t know much about her, but she seems like someone who wouldn’t just up and leave her life, like police so often try to say when an adult goes missing.

Several people on social media have quoted a Montgomery County police statement that Vanessa has been located deceased. I have been unable to find a primary source for the statement to share here.


ETA: Concern for Missing Bethesda Woman confirms the news. No foul play is suspected.

I knew her via The Writer's Center; she organized a project in which I participated. TWC is an extraordinary resource for the area's many writers and would-be writers. People not from around here don't always know the richness of the area in the arts. It's no wonder she was known by so many.

Oh I’m so sad to see that it turned out like this. May she RIP
