I wonder why was Joy confused and walked into someone's house? Does she take any medication that may cause this? It's been a long time since she went missing, I hope that she is safe somewhere.

Maybe I'm overtired but I'm having trouble understanding the sequence of events. What triggered the missing persons report? Finding her car? The fact that she stopped getting texts? How do they even know that? I'm having flashbacks to Anneliese Heinig.
I hope she's found safe.

Very comprehensive - thank you - that answers a lot of questions. I hope she's found safe.

I wonder if she may have become confused and stepped off one of the nearby piers mistaking it for the footbridge?

This is right in the middle of town, her home is walking distance from where she was found, my daughter owns a restaurant in Belfast.
If it's her, I mean.
