ME ME - Anneliese Heinig, 37, Richmond, 26 Nov 2019 *vehicle found*

I agree. Also, I noticed she changed her FB profile photo early in the morning of the same day she disappeared. She changed it to a photo of her kids.

Is self harm suspected in this case? The post regarding wanting peace is concerning.

Maybe she wanted to get away. If she took her license and cash with her, that's not giving me a hopeless, end-all kind of feeling. I hope that's the case.

How is it known she had cash?

I am in the Portland area

Given her Facebook status from a few days before I am worried this may not end well. There was a case super similar to this a few weeks ago and the guy abandoned his car on the side of the road and went into the woods and was found a few days later (suicide). Praying that will not be the case here and she is found and gets the help it sounds like she needs From the sounds of it she is a sweet girl with two kids that need her.

Are there any searches planned?

I haven't seen any mentions of them yet but I know her sister was putting up signs all over downtown Portland.

ETA: I actually just saw that police and wardens are searching on Middle Rd in Falmouth and along a bridge by the river in Falmouth for her (this is all kind of near-ish to where she left her car) today. But I do not see any info on planned searches with volunteers yet.

Thanks so much. I am actually a very long time lurker but forgot the password for my old username so I started over I was searching her name in google and this thread came up.

We are getting a real bad snowstorm tonight into Tuesday so I hope she is not out in this...

A lot of this is confusing. She was driving SB between exits 9 and 10 - the family says she was seen walking northbound near Washington - was she north or south of where the car broke down? If she was north of the car, why would she walk back north all the way to exit 10?
Also, with two kids and involved parents, I'm surprised she wasn't reported missing for 2 days.
....and the water always makes me nervous - she was right by the ocean. It's not yet winter but people don't last long in that cold water.

Well she certainly is a cute gal. I'm sorry to be a pessimist, but this isn't looking good at all. I'm not as worried about the water. Statistically, women will typically take an overdose of pills, or cut themselves. However, going back to the water and her FB comment about wanting peace, she might have overdosed and gone to eternal sleep in a setting such as the beach/waterfront. That's where I would look for her.

Ugh yeah it all doesn't sound good... It is more rocky coastline where they are looking vs beach but yeah...there are some nature preserves around that area too actually. There's also a bridge you can walk to a little island on the way to Falmouth called Mackworth which is beautiful and surrounded by trees and water. There are a lot of wide open spaces here though and with the snow coming (up to 11" I think) I worry they won't find her but I hope I'm wrong.

This is exactly where they should be looking IMO. If she were despondent, she likely went somewhere to exit and find "peace". So sad. Hope I'm wrong.

Why leave her car on an interstate and walk off. Why not drive to a peaceful place. If she left the car near a bridge, it’s possible she jumped. Jmo

In the new article, her mother explains that her daughter might have thought that her car was having a mechanical problem and that she took cash and her ID to go look for help.

 

[rosesfromangels]

Do we know what might be troubling this gal? Stressful relationship, or?

Yes, that makes sense.

Family also questioned why she didn’t call AAA. That early in the morning and mechanical problems would warrant a service call IMO.
