| While her family and friends posted frantic online pleas for help and the New York Police Department scoured the city, 19-year-old Nayla Kidd was moving into her new apartment in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood.
The then-Columbia University student had last been seen on May 5, in a hall on campus. Then, for the next two weeks, she was gone: disappeared from the apartment she shared with three classmates, absent from her exams, noticeably silent as Mother's Day came and went (She and her mother are close; last year, Kidd made a video).
"Her grades are very important to her - to have her not show up to her finals is very troubling," Alesha Wood, a family friend, told The Washington Post earlier this month. "That is not like Nayla - she loves to go to school."
Indeed, Kidd was a star science student in high school, and a class representative on Columbia's Engineering Student Council. But even those close to her didn't know that at the time of her disappearance, it had been a while since Kidd loved school.
She said as much in an op-ed this Sunday for the New York Post, in the first public statements Kidd has made since she was found safe on May 16.
