3:20 in the morning, hope she’s found safe. Looks like she’s holding her phone.

Why such an immediate missing persons report for an adult?

This doesn't feel nefarious to me. IMO I'm prepared to eat my words.

Likely because she is a 22 year old college student who disappeared while walking home alone at 3 AM? She is said to be reliable and isn’t answering her phone. Not that difficult to imagine there is immediate concern for her wellbeing.

How far is the bar from her home? Was she at the bar with other people?

I hope Eliotte is found safe. The river vicinity scares me, as much as the time she went missing.

This is worrying, I hope she is found safe.

It looks to me like she might be on speakerphone / headphones talking to someone on the camera image. I just got this impression from how she is holding her phone ( presumably phone) IMO .

It she called someone and said she is on the way back home that could explain such a quick reaction when she didn’t arrive IMO

There's so little information on her. Why couldn't someone give her a ride home??

Either that or she is following eg google maps. IMO also she seems to be looking at her phone

Ugh leaving a bar in the early morning hours in any vicinity of water never ends foods

 

[Sjöberg]

This is really scary, I have a bad feeling. It does feel like she was on her way home and never made it.
For those who cannot see the news link, the city website link worked fine for me: https://www.cityoflacrosse.org/Home/Components/News/News/2494/16

Her FB was also easy to find with a simple search and it made me so sad that she is missing. Seems like such a smart and lovely young lady, would have loved to hear about her for some other reason, like starting a cool project.

I found an update, but cannot personally see it further, as I am not in the U.S:
"UPDATE -- According to a Facebook post, Eliotte Heinz's friends and family will be launching a search party at 8 a.m. on Monday, July 21st."

I am worried she called some ride share program like Lyft, Uber...and that may be why LEO is so quick to jump on this.
