"Please help me find my best friend by sharing this. She hasn't been seen since Tuesday and I haven't talked to her since Tuesday at 5:33pm. She was on her way to a party at MGM casino and hotel. Before she was going to the party she was meeting with someone. Idk who this person she was meeting with".

A friend of Lily's is posting on Facebook, she stated the above.

Thanks!

She writes on June 3 on her FB page, "Hustlers do not have it easy at all, we gotta problem solve every day, nothing guaranteed, we never get time off, we risk everything and be making big sacrifices, thugging it out to stack cheese. People just see when we ball out, and don’t even have a clue what’s behind it." Seems to be referring to some type of job but I'm not sure what exactly... Any ideas?

I suppose there is a chance her disappearance is related to her deceased boyfriend's murder... But more likely it's connected to a new relationship which she has implied (on FB) has gone south... Her cell phone records should reveal whom she was planning to meet before going missing.

I have a bad feeling she is no longer alive.

Hustlers? What is that? Hocking stolen goods at a street corner? Is that in exchange for drugs .... that's a way out there question. I'm just curious about what happened.

Cell phone will help identify her last movements. When was the cell phone turned off : before or during the event, in the middle of the night, the next day? I wonder if police have her phone records. It was a while before she was reported missing.

Can someone tell me what the 6/7 post @ 8:06 means? I don't speak the lingo.

I don’t see one at that time. I see a 6/7 at 8:05 just sharing another post about a rapist.

Do you mean the 11:06 one? I take that one to mean guys are out looking for chicks and these guys are losers pretending to be big shots to get girls.

Thanks, for the interpretation. I'm in California, you must be on the East Coast (FB post times).

Hustle, in slang, refers to anytime you are working extra hard for money. Examples are side hustle (second job) and single mom hustle (you're the sole breadwinner). It's become pretty mainstream slang and certainly doesn't have to mean anything illegal. People who drive for ride-sharing services often call that their "side hustle".

Thank you! ... as in flipping burgers, digging ditches, describing a menial or professional job as something that everyone can identify with?

For example, I know a lawyer who describes going to work as "flippin burgers". That kind of hustle, or a real hustle where life is day to day and it really is tough to be hustling to make a buck?

In theory--as long as the person in question is always busy, working their tail off for the money, then yes. If a person just went in to flip burgers 40 hours per week, no they would not be a hustler. But if they were digging ditches by day, flipping burgers by night, selling their used items on eBay in between, there you have some serious hustle. Make sense?

To answer your second, newer question, I have never heard of a lawyer being called a hustler (in the positive sense of the word, anyway). So yeah, I would say there's that element of life being tough and you're really hustling to make ends meet.

A "Lily Kirkpatrick" is mentioned in this article, which happens to match up nicely with the comment about the shrine room.

Question: are we allowed to sleuth the famous grandmother, since she is long passed?

I think we can rule out a drug overdose since she vanished before she arrived at the event. If she was going to do drugs, she would have parked first.

So she lives in Ferndale and had to be reported missing where she lives?

She dropped her child off with her parents at 5:30PM and then headed out for a night on the town. Was she on a planned date with a known boyfriend, was she on a new social media style blind date, was she meeting an old friend, a girlfriend?

Her FB page sure makes it seem like she sells drugs (socks).

Selling drugs and prostitution (escort) would be called a hustle because in the true sense of the word, hustle has one game and that is to separate people from their money by any means possible.

She definitely has some pictures of pot, too. Whether she actually sells it or not--I suspect that will become more clear here very shortly.

Wondering if she was doing a drug deal and something bad happened.

Pot is legal in so many places that I don't think any conclusions can be drawn if someone uses pot.
