ex Husband is JF, they were married in 2014. He has two facebook profiles. The more recent one is really all you need.

On January 14th of this year she makes a post and some comments indicating it is her first day "out". There are other comments more recently about turning her life around etc which sounds like rehab for alcoholism (see arrests link below), but note she claims she broke her neck in a car crash last February so could be talking about therapy (though that could be a cover story for jail or an assu. The story in the comments on that post is very interesting so be sure to read it. https://www.facebook.com/lala6181/posts/1352776714795803

A few other things I notice:

She never mentions her husband on her own timeline and has no pics of them together after the baby was born in 2013.
There are comments on his posts from her in 2015 though which I personally consider over-adulating.
No posts about the wedding or marriage are public after the initial announcement. Considering her public post trend, there is no reason for her to keep that private but not other things. He seems to have moved on by July so I think it is safe to say they were recently broken up.
Facebook status is single.

Facebook is obviously not the full picture, but we can already get an idea here of possible tension in the marriage to someone with a volatile attitude, some major changes in her life, and some risky behaviors (the selfies with a certain guy always commenting on them etc, the polyamorous and lesbian groups) .

I think this one is probably cut and dry but I am curious if she has other risky relationships or background such as drug history or if she was actively using online dating apps. This area is apparently a trailer park and known for being rough.
I wonder if they have her phone and phone records?

Those posting about it on SM who knew her all seem to be old friends - who was she living with now? It doesn't appear she was reported missing. It seems like she may have gone through a rough couple years and lost touch with her friends and family.
