Ferry Workers Rescue Missing Teacher in Water

Posted Sep 16, 08 9:57 PM CDT in US 

(Newser) – A 23-year-old woman rescued from the water today by Staten Island ferry workers turns out to be a Harlem teacher reported missing 2 weeks ago, the New York Times reports. She is recuperating in the hospital but has yet to shed light on her disappearance. Hannah Emily Upp disappeared just before school started, and investigators found her apartment full of her belongings, including her wallet, cell phone, keys, and credit cards.

A citywide search ensued, and the case drew heavy attention in the blogosphere. A former classmate spotted Upp checking her e-mail in an Apple store, and police determined that she had been there twice in four days. Today, she was pulled from the water wearing the same clothes she was said to have on when she disappeared. Investigators believe she jumped from a pier.

She was floating face down in the water, just like lifeless. She gasped desperately for air and she laid down and started crying when we got her in the boat. - Michael J. Sabatino, who operated the ferry boat that rescued Upp
