23 Year Old Hannah Upp Missing NYC School Teacher … Last Seen Friday, Aug. 29, 2008
23 year old New York City school teacher Hannah Upp has been missing 
since the afternoon of August 29, 2008. According to reports Hannah Upp was last seen in her Hamilton Heights apartment on the afternoon of 8/29/08. Upp has been described as a “very smart, very sensible young woman who is always aware of where she is and what’s going on around her, and who is conscious of the fact that not everyone she may meet has good intentions.”
According to Upp’s friends, she has planned to go away for the weekend and return on Saturday or Sunday. However, when Upp had not returned by Monday night they began to get concerned. Upp’s disappearance has baffled family and friends as she has all but vanished without a trace.
Upp’s two roommates, a man and a woman, became worried about her Sunday night when they hadn’t heard from her, roommate Samantha Gallardo, 25, told ABCNews.com.
According to Gallardo, Upp’s other roommate, fellow teacher Manny Ramirez, searched her room and saw that her purse, wallet, cell phone, ATM card and subway card were all there.
“My roommate woke me up and we went down to the police station. They didn’t seem too concerned about it at first, but at 4 a.m. that night there were already detectives in our apartment,” Gallardo said. “There’s been police in our apartment since.”
