What is wrong with these people taking off on their kids and families. They should be charged the manpower hours that the authorities put into looking for them. Mental illness is all I can say. Now a days there is way too much of this.

I have no problem with someones decision to walk away from a bad situation in some cases it is warranted, I hope that in the future they would let their families know they have taken a sabbatical from life before a missing report and news articles are circulated.

husband says argued briefly at beginning of concert...........hmm...........May-be the concert stunk, and that's why she left.

These women are obviously just selfish brats. They are extremely bad role models for their children. If there is a problem then talk to someone, but don't just disappear leaving it up to us taxpayers to foot the bill for your so called "disappearance" and childish behavior. This women should be made to reimburse the police department for their time.

What's with these men that call the police after "a small argument"? Then these men say, "It's all your fault the police are searching for you, look what you made me do." How does she end up "bad" when he's the reason she left? Either he's punishing her or he probably makes a federal case out of burned toast.

Men and women always have had fights. Especially at concerts. They didn't drag the rest of the community and searchers into it. Unless you have some good reason to believe your wife has been abducted, rather than plain walked our on you, save our money, handle your own problems and wait for it to play out.

Fight (or) No fight..... How about using some common sense? Is she a child? She sure acted like one. She should have known better than to do such a foolish thing. It was totally irresponsible. It frightens me that this woman has a job of major responsibility in a hospital, however she lacks the common sense to tell her own family that she's leaving and not coming back. She's nothing more than a selfish woman who doesn't even care if she makes her own husband and kids worry to death for three days straight. This world is full of Nuts and she is clearly One of them.

It incenses me to see the insensitivity and ignorance expressed by STRANGERS to the situation that has just occurred. I'm sure the commentators here aren't relatives or even friends of Mrs. McGuirk and lack any knowledge of the circumstances whatever they may be that may have caused her to her actions. Think before you speak or should I say before you write.

"It incenses me to see the insensitivity and ignorance expressed by STRANGERS to the situation that has just occurred."

TOUGH. It became our business when our tax dollars got wasted looking for the latest 'Runaway Bride'.

Patsy, are you KIDDING??? A woman walks away, presumably to the ladies room, and the husband should assume she's fine? A young mother w/little kids at home who's never done this before? These two birdbrains - this one and the one recently at the campground - are the ones at fault here, not these two husbands. These poor saps have probably been under suspicion, besides having to explain to their little kids why mommy isn't there. (and what on earth can they say as way of explanation?). Shame on them!

i am glad she is ok get some help....

Shame on you all!

Obviously nobody here has ever gotten to the point where you feel completely lost. Yes, she could have done things differently, but has it ever occured to any of you that being a wife and mother of 2, working in a high stress job, among severe personal issues, might take a toll on even some of the strongest individuals?

Get your heads out of your cracks, and try and put yourself in someone elses shoes for once. If something like this ever happened to you, or someone in your family, you would be glad that the resources are there, and on your side. Believe me, your taxes are going to much more worthless causes than searching for a missing person, like paying the mortgage on some corrupt politician's beach house in Newport. So, suck it up, and have some compassion.

By the way...she and her family are now doing great! It was just the wake up call they needed.

This woman should be put out to pasture. She is a walking time bomb who needs to repent of her arrogantly sinful ways and find the Lord Jesus.
