I am writing comments here, because the comments at the link deal mostly with the resolution to the case.
Nancy Salas, was a 22 year old UCLA college student. Yesterday morning she came up missing during her early morning jog through the Chevy Chase Canyon area of Glendale, California.
Hours after she normally should have returned home, Nancy's relatives called the Glendale police, and filed a missing persons report.
Officers were pulled off other cases around Glendale, and a door to door was initiated. Volunteers helped with the search. All up and down the canyon, and the way to it from her home, Nancy was the focus of a massive search.
Every nook and cranny was investigated. Every seeming strange object was investigated. The nearby hillsides and trails were looked at. The bushes, shrubs, and weeds were checked, each person afraid they might find the young woman's remains at any second.
This is how it went yesterday into last night.
Now this...
Nancy has been found and is in the custody of the Merced, Calfornia police department.
It seems Nancy was actually a former UCLA student and she isn't about to graduate, as her family had thought.
Today it was revealed that Nancy hasn't attended UCLA since 2008. She has been lying to her folks since then. And evidently their plan to host a big party celebrating her graduation, prompted her to bolt.
Film at eleven.
Thank GOD she was found alive.
Lies pile up and cause bigger problems than the truth.
I’m sure her parents are so relieved she’s ok that they’ll get over the whole lying thing.
Did this just break? The last report I saw was on Noon news, with the mom crying, but the sound was down. I did not hear what was being said.

Wow. I don’t recall that this kind of thing happened all that much in the past, but perhaps I am wrong.
Trust Fund Baby?
I don’t know. But if her folks were working their fingers to the bone getting her through college, she’s in some DEEP doo-doo.
Wasn’t there a case a few years ago where the husband lied to his wife and family about getting accepted to medical school out of state. Around the time he should have left to go to the school, he snapped and killed his wife. I think they found her body in a garbage dump. I might be fuzzy on some of the details...
Glad she’s okay, but what a rotten deal for mom & dad.
A lot of middle class college students think they are, but really they aren't. .. There are a lot of old adolescents, if you get my drift.
I think that story came from Provo.
If she were my daughter, I’d first give her a big hug and a kiss, then kick her behind.
You can be arrested for not going to college?
I agree. Death allows for no reconciliation. This wasn’t the first girl to get caught up in something like this. She caused everyone including herself a lot of grief.
Exactly right.
Yes, I got my KFI640 alert at 2:43 pm PDT.
