I close my eyes and think of you; your face stays on my mind
I think about your family too - your loved ones left behind
I wish and hope and often pray that you are safe and sound
While longing for the news reports to say “Susan is found”
The inner sadness you must feel, the pain no one could know
I so, so wish I could replace with your sweet smile’s glow
You’ve touched the lives of people that you have not even met
And in our hearts, you’re very loved – please Susan, don’t forget
Your family and all of us just want to know you’re fine
So, if somehow, you’re reading this, please… please give us a sign

On July 4, 2014, Susan Bachman, a woman from Centre County, PA jumped out of a moving vehicle off route I-80 when she was being transported by her parents to a psychiatric hospital appointment. She then fled into the woods, and a five-hour search and rescue effort by the state police failed to find her.
The family has taken multiple steps and received broad community support in their efforts to find Susan. Three national outdoor advertising companies donated space on their digital billboards. The family engaged a specialist search-and-rescue canine team to do a second search of the area. The family received the help of several national truck stop chains in spreading the word.
They had no news until last week. A security guard at a Pilot Flying J in Lake Station, IN received the flyer in early August and recognized Susan as a woman who had created a disturbance at his location on July 11. This woman appeared sober but was delusional, claiming that the location was supposed to be shut down because all the people there had been murdered four years earlier. At the time, the security guard escorted the woman off the property. When he saw the flyer and learned that she was a missing person, he immediately reported the sighting to Pennsylvania State Police, who then informed the family.
This is the first and only confirmed sighting of Susan since she disappeared. Thinking this may be the last chance to find their daughter, Bill and Nancy, both in their 70s, have embarked on a journey on I-80 to post up flyers and to encourage others to do the same.
The family is documenting their journey and their efforts via a webpage, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Vine.

If she is delusional, it's hard to believe that she can survive on her own for so long, unless she has periods when she is functional and can fend for herself.
