Updates from wwltv.com video (LINK)

- Vehicle found at corner of St. Peter & St. Joseph Streets in New Orleans (0:30)
- Husband is leaving the vehicle there in case she returns for it (2:10)

Attaching a few images of the vehicle itself as it was parked and a map for reference. The vehicle is parked in a metered parking spot in front of a three-story building. The first floor has a sign for Deep South Studios; it looks like the second and third floors may be apartments? This is a one-way street with parking on both sides of the road.

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought TM said the video showed her parking there at 12:30 pm?

Checking out St. Peter and St. Joseph Streets in New Orleans on Google Maps, it looks like there is a lot going on in that area. Many hotels, restaurants, clubs, museums, attractions, etc. It's definitely not a remote area. Hopefully this means other businesses will have surveillance of Michelle walking away from her car.

Updates from Fox26Houston.com video

- Surveillance shows MR alone, parking her vehicle on St Peter's Street, at 12:01 FRIDAY afternoon (per Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch), started walking (0:45)
- Purse, license, credit card all found in vehicle (1:40)

Attaching frame from surveillance video. (0:30)

 

[MachinaCollecta]

JMO that this is beginning to look (to me) like a possible mental break.

 

[insearchoflight]

She had a lot of time to think on that drive. So she either met up with someone planned (otherwise she’d need the stuff in her car), or this is a case taking one’s life. I’m sure there are other possibilities but most likely scenario is she’ll be found in River. This is heartbreaking for her kids/family.

 

[SherryLock]

Here's another update. Apparently, she had some kind of mental health issue and had stopped taking her meds. The husband also said they had no ties to New Orleans.

OBSERVATION:
It's noted in this article that she headed west from her parking spot, which is the opposite direction from the Mississippi River - a fact which gives me hope that she may still be alive somewhere in the city. In the first block to the west is a restaurant (opens at 11AM), an electronic store, a Marriott hotel (with an underground parking structure of its own), followed by an auction house and another parking lot

NEW QUESTIONS:
Where was she Thursday night?
Why park at that particular location?
Did she pay the meter?

 

[youarentsilly]

Alvin ISD ... has been assisting the family during this difficult time.

SMB
I wonder what assistance they are able to provide. Maybe there were known issues amongst the school community?

Michelle's Facebook - Log in or sign up to view

In light of everything that has developed and what we've learned so far about Michelle's disappearance....I notice she has many posts in the last couple months about visiting and reconnecting with family, friends, etc. It may be coincidental or it may "tell a story" about what she was feeling, thinking, self reflection as it were...imo. I also noted a phrase she liked and felt important to re-share and post in August.

I'm learning not to rush. To let life be beautiful. To be present. To be happy with right now. To appreciate life period.

 

[shefner]

Michelle....please come home.

I got the same sort of vibe. I'm concerned with the potential for self harm

 

[evilwise]

Why is her husband saying they have no connection to NO? Her brother lives there, right? It's certainly possible to live on the street for 5 days there but it seems like someone would have noticed her and done something with her. What depends very much on whom.

It sounds to me that Tim Miller ( Texas Equusearch) is really leaning towards the river, flying planes low etc. IMO. I do find it odd to leave her personal belongings behind as well. IMO

Noting this statement by her husband:

"We don't have any friends or family in New Orleans, in fact, we haven't been to New Orleans in probably 18 to 19 years," he said.

HAVE YOU SEEN MICHELLE REYNOLDS?: Search continues for missing Alvin ISD teacher last seen on Thursday

Texas EquuSearch looking for the missing Alvin ISD teacher along the Mississippi River in New Orleans, near where her car was found and she's seen on surveillance video walking away from her car.

Noting:

Michelle Reynolds's purse, with her license and credit cards, and her cell phone were found inside her car.

 

[rosesfromangels]

This is horrible for her husband and kids, and for the school kids she teaches as well. Her life effects all those kids. Against the odds, I really hope she finds her way home.

Amateur opinion and speculation

I could be wrong but I believe she used to live in northern Louisiana and some people mixed that up with her having ties in New Orleans because it’s in the same state (though many miles apart).

If you scroll back a bit on her Facebook page, she mentions visiting family and different locations in northern Louisiana.
