From the first linked article:

On Wednesday, Cleveland Missing will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. regarding her case.

According to organizers, members of Madison's family will be present and provide an update on the case.

Why Wednesday? It's Monday? Why not today or tomorrow? Just curious on the wait. IMO

 

[GuyfromCanada]

Was Madison with someone at the hotel? Does she have any money?

 

[NewMommy09]

I hope they've looked thoroughly through this young girls electronic devices. This one really gives me vibes of lured away and trafficked. I hope I'm wrong.

Lakewood Police have been able to ping Maddie’s phone several times since she left home. On August 18, the signal came from a motel on Northfield Rd. in Warrensville Heights. Subsequent pings were traced to the 19000 block of S. Miles Rd and near Lee, Harvard and Green Roads. Investigators said her phone either died or was turned off around August 22.

Maddie has experienced mental health challenges. She also worries her physical health could put her in a dangerous situation.

“We definitely feel that mental health was playing a role in her originally leaving,” she said. “One thing that is very concerning to me is she has really low blood pressure and low heart rate. She was hospitalized in June for this as well.”

A link to today's presser, which I have not watched in full yet:

‘We miss you and want you home’: Family of missing Lakewood teen Madison Rich gives update

Madison was reported missing after leaving her home on Aug. 15.

www.wkyc.com

In previous interviews, Maddie's mother states that she was alerted by the friend on the east side that Madison went to see, who said she "didn't know where Madison was" and that she may have "gone to the store or something." I wonder (but have no knowledge) if this friend was interviewed by LE.

 

[holtzmann]

For those still following - I spoke briefly with a friend of the family on Facebook in a local community thread.

Out of respect for the family, I won't share much information and won't be asking more questions, but they reported that law enforcement has taken all the right steps and spoken to a lot of people. At this point, it is believed that the situation is scarier, sadder, and more dangerous than they originally thought, and not a simple case of a teen runaway.

Please keep the family in your thoughts.

This case is very concerning.

Madison was last seen at home in Lakewood, but left that location between midnight and 4:30AM. I may have missed it in the MSM reports, but how did Madison travel from her home to the Express Inn? That's not within walking distance.

 

[truthfinder2019]

Lakewood police believe Maddie might be near Northfield Road in North Randall or Warrensville Heights. That's where her last location was picked up, and a cell signal hasn't been found since.

Her family finds that location strange because Maddie doesn't know many folks on that side of town.

I find it interesting they scheduled a press conference in advance, but for a time of day when it's still "early" for many people. Maybe to get into the news cycle all day? It just seems a bit odd the presser was first thing in the morning, but scheduled days in advance - seems early and delayed at the same time.

There is no report concerning a car, and nowhere it is stated how she left

Thanks @truthfinder2019. Without a vehicle, a bike, or a ride of some type, it seems unlikely that Madison could have traveled that far on foot. Not impossible but unlikely IMO.

Also the timing of Madison leaving home is curious. Why would she depart between midnight and 4:30AM?

Maddie has experienced mental health challenges. She also worries her physical health could put her in a dangerous situation.

“We definitely feel that mental health was playing a role in her originally leaving,” she said. “One thing that is very concerning to me is she has really low blood pressure and low heart rate. She was hospitalized in June for this as well.”

https://www.news5cleveland.com/news...king for her. Hope there is good news today.

I'm glad her family has opened up about her health challenges, as sometimes that's helpful in establishing a mindset as to why she left and where she might have gone. Given her height and weight, I'm wondering if she was dealing with anorexia as low blood pressure and bradycardia are often found in those suffering with that illness. I hope we have some good news today and she is home safely very soon.
