A New York City school teacher that went missing almost two weeks ago was recently spotted at the 5th Ave Apple Store. Looks like 23-year-old Hannah Upp was just as obsessed over the Let's Rock event as we were—only instead of pulling a disappearing act three days before the start of the school year, we channeled our anxiety into non-stop Apple blogging and reviewing.

Upp's friends and family have informed all major New York publications (and Facebook) of her disappearance. According to her roommates, she had left her apartment on Sunday and then never came back. When she didn't return, they entered her room and found her keys, her phone, her wallet and ID still there. Random Apple store appearance aside, she's still nowhere to be found.


Ten bucks says she goes all Patty Hurst and starts teaching at a Waldorf school that programs kids to storm onto the Redmond campus in perfectly iPhone-synced marches. They will rally against the conformists and gun down everyone who thinks that Macs aren't PCs, dancing on their bloody victims in silhouette.

Or she could, I dunno, decide to get back to work or something. Summer vacation's, like, over.

Upp is likely a Dissociative Fugue victim. She may have full or partial amnesia but retain functional ability. She may or may not have sent emails from the Apple Store.

Subliminal Distraction is the possible cause of episodes like this. It was discovered when it caused mental breaks for office workers in the 1960's. The cubicle was created to deal with the vision startle reflex to stop the phenomenon by 1968.

It never occurs to anyone that this is a problem of human physiology not just business offices. If Hannah Upp created the "special circumstances" of those 1960's situations she would eventually have psychiatric symptoms. They would include fear, paranoia, panic attacks, depression and thoughts of suicide.

VisionAndPsychosis.Net is a five year investigation of this phenomenon with the premise that this problem is still happening.

There is a long list of missing college students. The only other high school teacher to go missing under these circumstances, walking away taking almost nothing, is Tara Grinstead of Ocilla Ga.

Most victims recover and return or seek help recovering memory. There are several examples of that on the Missing Students, Dissociative Fugue, and Mysterious Disappearances pages at VisionAndPsychosis. Net.
