Did Linnea Lomax Plan on Running Away?

Did Linnea Lomax intend on hiding from her family indefinitely? The latest report in the headlines is about the reward offered for her "return," but something else was revealed in this latest story: She was carrying a large bag. This is a bit different from the parents' insinuation that she had nothing on her but the clothes on her back and that she had left behind her wallet and phone. It seems that exaggeration has become a mainstay in the statements of Craig Lomax and others associated for search for her, so what do you think?

She very well may have left her phone and wallet behind, but seeing as though she took off carrying a large bag, she had plans. She was prepared. She had extra clothing and maybe even cash in the bag for all anyone truly knows. The fact of the matter is that the 19-year-old UC Davis student wasn't without her belongings. She didn't vanish without even so much as a new change of clothes. That is exaggeration or flat-out fabrication if you read that -- or people are simply mistaken.

As stated, again, Linnea Lomax is missing voluntarily. Sacramento County Sheriff's Department as well as El Dorado County Sheriff's Department have confirmed that she is not in any immediate danger and there are no signs of foul play in her disappearance. She simply doesn't want to be found by her family, and that in and of itself is disturbing but for reasons other than her simply being gone.

This case is going to be discussed at length on Case to Case tonight at 9:30 p.m., PST on BlogTalkRadio. Maybe with the facts of this case being physically spoken, more people will come to understand that this is an adult who is simply choosing not to correspond with her family. She isn't a child and she is not an invalid.

Why are you censoring comments? I said nothing wrong--just set the facts. Very hypocritical.

work on your delivery if you want your comments to remain.

thanks for reading

check for the latest articles before commenting.

The article you link above does state she was last seen carrying a bag, but they are referring to an unconfirmed sighting of her a week after she walked out of the clinic. That's where the "baggy blue jeans" come from, also. When she left the clinic, she was wearing green skinny pants. I can see how the article is confusing.

so far no credible source has claimed against what's been written in news results -- I can only repeat what credible sources claim -- otherwise it's all heresay

Ok, I'll play. Linnea did not have a bag when she left the clinic--this has been made clear by numerous news sources and the family's account of the incident. The bag you describe above was noted in an unconfirmed sighting of Linnea about a week after she left the clinic. (see link from sheriff's office: all sightings are unconfirmed) One could pick up free clothes, a bag, and other things from a local Loaves and Fishes or another establishment. Or, from "friends" met on the street. It is not safe to draw the conclusion that this was planned based on the bag.

this has been addressed already -- you're commenting on an old article.

Chelsea Hoffman Jul 10, 2012, 3:05pm UTC

p.s. -- at the time of this article, the source linked within the body didn't clarify that it was 4 days later. 0_o

I'm glad you addressed it in newer articles, but is there some way to note clarifications, edits, etc. on your old articles if information has changed? This was one of the first articles to pop up when I googled "linnea lomax" and incorrect or out-of-date information is confusing.

Chelsea Hoffman Jul 10, 2012, 3:17pm UTC

nope, you just need to look at the date of articles when you read them -- it's not the responsibility of others to arrange your google results more easily for you. There are settings down the side of google that help you narrow down the searches by date -- use them.

Thanks for reading

It is not the responsibility of others, but you can atleast fix your articles.

I spoke with Linnea on Wend the day sfter she went missing near Howe and Arden I had a casual conversation with her, she was wearing the clothing that was mentioned in the first ad. At the time of contact, i did not know that she was missing until 1 hour later. i came across her a second time on monday morning, I am the one that gave the new description of her, dark colored sweater, bagt blue jeans, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a black old torn leather bag (satchel). On the time of first contact she did not have the bag and on the second contact she did have the bag and old clothes with her. She did not plan on running away at anytime. This was something she just did.

She is ok and not hurt in anyway, from what I saw she is ok and ALIVE!

Ms. Hoffman you are beyond arrogant. To add to the suffering of her family is a disgrace. Society would be better if your site disappears instead of someone from a loving family that is suffering in ways you could not imagine as evidenced by your ignorance and arrogance. That thumbnail picture captures your true nasty character.
