‘Not missing, just outside’: Woman tells public and family to relax after alert posted
After police issued a missing person alert for a 25-year-old woman, she popped up online, not in distress, but very much alive and apparently very annoyed.
Alicia Forbes, who authorities said was last seen on November 13, showed up in the comments under the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s Facebook post to clear the air.
According to her, the only thing missing was the ‘truth’.
Using the name Baby Queen, Forbes wrote, “This is not truth.”
She added that she’s not missing. She just wanted some freedom.
“I just want to have fun… My family always have me on lockdown. I can’t go anywhere with nobody, so I keep running away,” she admitted publicly, sending the comment section into a mix of laughter, disbelief, and motherly scolding.
When commenters urged her to at least call home, Forbes insisted her family wasn’t listening.
“I tried,” she said. “I just want to have a little bit of fun, ok. I am 20 years old.”
Police said 25. She said 20. At this point, everyone was missing something.
One Facebook user, Portia Cooper, gave her a stern warning:
“Young lady, let your family know you’re safe. Too much danger in this lil island. Be careful with the fun you looking for.”
But Forbes held her ground with one final reminder: “I am not missing.”
Police have updated the poster. By now, everyone on Facebook knows exactly where she is.
