Not sure why you shut down the other comments because I have no way of knowing what is "too much". But, I am assured by one who knows that she was "heavy" into drugs and I feel the public needs to know how awful drug use can be and what a heavy toll they take on some, including children of drug addicts. From what I hear, she should be court ordered into treatment. Whitfield offers really good treatment for many. So does Hazleton if someone in her life wants to pay for it. She may be beyond outpatient therapy. At any rate, please let's have an adult conversation about drug abuse without all of the childish snarky comments. Once beautiful women can be addicted just like anyone else.

And now we know the rest of the story.

few female meth heads would weigh 165 pounds. sounds like the cops were simply pissed...as they should be, but such a petit, pretextual charge seems unwarranted.

Drug abuse is definitely a problem that crosses racial and class lines. I have seen good employees go down the drain due to drug abuse and always wondered why they did it to begin with. I was called a racist on the pat last week when the mental illness topic was posted and I mentioned that drug abuse causes mental illness. It is not the only source of mental illness. I can only tell you about what I have seen. Grown men walking around like madmen at work because the chemicals destroy their minds. You have to test them, fire them and then they ask why?

I'm not being racist on this. I don't even see how racism can be called on this issue. It's a problem that has touched everyone in many places. Try to be an employer and find someone clean to work.

It's not like the photo that was being circulated would have helped find her even if she was actually missing. She looks nothing like the photo in real life. Filters are a hell of a drug.

There are more drugs than meth even if you are white. 165 lbs. indicate some alcohol use also.

12:18, be careful...they will assume you are talking about malt liquor and call you a racist. I suppose it's ok to justify someone on NUMEROUS types of prescriptions because they doctor shop according to the "feel good now" culture. Wake up people! This is a damn big problem and it ain't getting better

"165 pounds indicates alcohol use". No shit? What a stupid comment.

That's kind of a bullshit charge, Madison...

And Danks will back it up with a bullshit high as hell bail.

Danks is not dumb enough to let those charges stand. 'Knew her whereabouts were being sought by law enforcement'. What a bullshit comment on a police blotter. None of us has any obligation to make our whereabouts known to the cops. There were no warrants or charges, so her whereabouts was none of the cops' business other than as relates to the 'missing person' report.

"Manipulated an elderly person into letting her stay there"? Another ridiculous charge that will not hold water.

This is what we get from a police chief who has been in that office for thirty years?

Lithium, it works, and is really cheap.

It has got to where a grown person cannot take a few days off without some nosey person complaining. When you are grown you do not have to ask permission from the cops to take a few days off.

I think all of you experts on the situation would HOPE that if you were staying with a friend overnight, and they awoke to find your car, phone, purse/wallet in their driveway but no sign of you, that they would seek help in trying to find you!

@4:14 - no, that's what you get from a police chief that works for Mayor Mary and does her every bidding.

1:05....There has been no mention of the homeowner hosting an overnite stay and waking up to find her gone.

The purse, wallet and phone were in the car. Not in the driveway.

Save the drama for your popcorn hour when you watch The View.

CLUELESS IDIOT AT 12:11:
YOU know of "no mention" because you do not know the situation. You're just reading from your select news sources. THE CAR was in the driveway containing her purse and phone (I threw in wallet in to the scenario for men to be able to relate a little better). This is fact, not drama. Perhaps you're so upset because if you came up missing, no one would search for you? I pray that is not the case.

2:01 - I called you out for your bullshit suggestions and you have now double-downed and are deeper in your shit than you first imagined.

The purse, phone and wallet were not in the driveway. You lied. There was no mention of an overnight stay. you lied again. There is nothing to substantiate your claim that somebody woke up and discovered she was gone. Your third lie.

You're a drama queen. Get the fuck over yourself.

165lbs could indicate McDonalds abuse...

This was four or five days ago. What was the outcome? Did Danks dismiss it as he should have. Do we wait on next weeks Madison Journal to find the results?

12:11 / 7:08, you need a little anger management. Unless you are indeed T. Paige Cockrell, or the friend, you need to calm down and shut up. I did not lie any of the 3 times that you accuse. You can't seem to keep your facts straight. From your own post at 12:11, you say "The purse, wallet and phone were in the car." No queen here, my dear. Get yourself some help and watch your language. Finally, you missed my whole point as you were having your little tirade, which was to answer those who said the person reporting TPC missing should basically mind their own business. The point of my response being that most missing persons would hope that someone would report and seek help for them.

Perhaps this will help.
"...reported missing after last being seen around 10:30pm Friday at a friend's home on Killford Court. Madison Police Captain Kevin Newman said that when Cockrell disappeared, her car, purse and cellphone were left at the home."

So, there's the answer to the Drama-Queens lies. The purse, keys and phone were NOT in the driveway. There was no mention of a homeowner waking up to find a guest missing. And there is no mention of an overnight stay.

But, along comes 1:30 (also anon at 1:05), telling others to 'shut up' and claiming she is only trying to be helpful. If she's not a she, she damned sure fooled me. Drama Queens usually are.

To recap: No personal items found in driveway. No evidence of missing person having arranged to spend the night at the house from which report was made. No evidence homeowner awoke to discover she was missing.

But....we'd better shut up and watch our language or Miss Priss will go ballistic.

Arrogant Defensive Ass at 5:04, I don't know your "Miss Priss" or what about that constitutes a "Drama Queen", please do explain, but you want to take it up with Madison PD? Did you miss my addition -
Perhaps this will help.
