Police say Upp was last seen about 2:30 p.m. Friday as she left her apartment in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood. Upp's roommates later found her keys, phone, ATM card, MetroCard, wallet and passport in her room.
Portland friend Ann Huntwork says the thought that Upp would "walk off" right before school started doesn't sound like something she would do. She says it "doesn't sound like she left of her own free will."
Upp's roommates found the Bryn Mawr graduate's keys, phone, ATM card, MetroCard, wallet and passport in her room. Upp was teaching at the Thurgood Marshall Academy.
