Hannah Upp, a beloved teacher, disappeared three times between 2008 and 2017.
The first disappearance occurred in New York City when Hannah went for a run and was found three weeks later in the Hudson River, with no memory of what happened.
Five years later, Hannah disappeared again in Maryland, but was found two days later in a creek bed with no memory of how she got there.
In 2017, Hannah disappeared for a third time in the US Virgin Islands, where she was living and working as a teacher. Before disappearing, Hannah was described as being in a trance-like state. A search effort was launched, but it was cut short due to a hurricane. Hannah's car, purse, and passport were found at a beach, but she was never seen or heard from again.
Psychological tests revealed that Hannah had a rare form of amnesia called disassociative fugue, which can cause people to forget their autobiographical information and may lead to unusual behavior.
However, some people believe that Hannah may have staged the last disappearance to start a new life and escape her past. The true circumstances of Hannah's disappearance remain a mystery.
