A heated online debate has followed the discovery of a female student who went missing for eight days, only to be found staying at her boyfriend’s residence.
The incident came to public attention after one of her coursemates, identified on X (formerly Twitter) as @folaaaa, shared details of the disappearance and eventual discovery. According to the post, the student’s parents raised an alarm after they failed to reach their daughter for over a week. Their concern deepened because her parents are older people, with her father reportedly about 70 years old.
Initially, investigations showed that the student’s last known WhatsApp activity occurred on Monday, December 8, 2025. As a result, the family involved law enforcement to help locate her. Following further inquiries, authorities later confirmed that the student had been staying with her boyfriend throughout the period she was reported missing.
Meanwhile, the post describing the incident spread rapidly online. It gathered over 400,000 views and sparked intense reactions across social media platforms.
