I wasn't sure if it was really her FB page, but then I found a sister in her friends list who referenced the tragedy of Larece being missing in the beginning of June 2018.

Still no trace of her

This is so weird. There isn't much information about her. IF she went missing from a cruise ship, why are there no articles on it? Her FB page from the day she went missing has dozens of posts. They seem triumphant in a way. It seems like she had experienced a breakup.

How odd. She went missing from a cruise ship and nothing,zip,nada from them?

I just looked back at her FB page again (Larece Hawkins), and I was surprised that she had 69 posts on May 28, 2018 (her last seen date).

I've noticed, while reading through many facebook pages of other missing persons, that multiple posts on the same day are often a sign of that person feeling very emotional, and perhaps even a sign of that person being distressed. It can also be a sign of someone feeling very alone in the world. Although, there are some people, who have way to much time on their hands, that have multiple, random reposts on a daily basis, but the multiple posts on Larece's FB page seemed to be more of the emotional type.

I feel very sad that she hasn't been found.

While I totally think there is something very valid about the "people disappearing strangely on cruise ships" theories, I think that this case seems like a suicide. Her posts on Facebook during that last day read, to me, like someone desperately trying to make sense of some kind of inner turmoil (possibly brought on by her recent breakup) by saying things that felt profound... the most telling of which is her post that literally reads: "Am I losing my mind YES / look UP / I'm OUT" - she literally seems to be telling us that she's done with everything. It's super sad.
