Excited
Where is Mengyao “May” Zhou? That was the question asked earlier today, when authorities searched for a 23 year-old electrical engineering Ph.D. student from Stanford. Her father put up a reward, her friends and acquaintances wondered aloud, and then…
Her car was found in Santa Rosa, a town over fifty miles, a bridge, and two counties away from the Stanford campus. They opened the trunk and discovered Mengyao’s body, a sad end to a frantic search.
Her father is quoted as saying, “My daughter was very organized…If she had wanted to commit suicide, she would have sent some kind of indication. I don’t see any evidence there, any indication she was depressed.” This only stamps further in my mind that she probably committed suicide–those who want to commit suicide (and are “successful”) rarely let on their intentions. Police are continuing their investigation–but I’m afraid of all the possibilities–of homicide, and suicide.
All of the answers are ridiculous and sad.

I think I wrote "over fifty miles," as I do agree with you--she traveled a great distance to this horrible end.
At this point, I wish all those who knew her--especially her family, a sense of peace soon.

I understand the decedent was not fond of driving and I believe the distance involved is even greater than the above commentary of 'fifty miles'. Also the destination appears to have had no significance to a PhD candidate in electrical engineering at Stanford.
It is true that there were certain immediate indications of a possible suicide and nothing has yet turned up that is inconsistent with suicide, but it is still unproven.
