It's an older case....

All I can remember was that it was about a lady who was thought to be depressed (withdrew from her friends, family, etc) and the one thing that sticks out to me about this episode was that she stood in front of her bathroom mirror with a camera and took pictures of herself just staring at the mirror, blankly. They showed the photos and In my head I can remember those images perfectly.

I think they showed her hitchhiking after that.....

I just want to know if she was ever found.

That was the case of Patricia Meehan. UM first aired that segment in November of 1989, seven months after she disappeared. Meehan was involved in a car accident, and wandered off. She was believed to have come down with amnesia.

There is a missing persons profile of her at the link below:

Whether or not she is still alive is anyone's guess. But let's pray that her loved ones will one day have the answers.

That's her. Thanks Kane!

Did she take the photos of herself before or after the accident?

And if she took the photos beforehand, does her family suspect that she was having problems before the accident?

From what I remember of the story, her mother said she was going through what sounded like a mid-life crisis. She was taking stock of her life and was upset because she had never had children and had realized recently that she wanted them.

Ah, thanks.

That's so sad...
