It wasn't her father. He last heard from her when she was in Athens which is 280 miles north of Kingsland. So, unless they have concrete proof that she was in Kingsland, she could be anywhere within southeastern US by now.

It is written as though she picked up the dog herself, but that isn't possible if she went missing 8/23. Did her family pick up the dog? If she was boarding the dog while she was gone why would she need the records? Could she have been trying to signal that something was wrong?

Did she just inform them on Aug. 21 that she would be leaving on another day or did she say that Aug. 21 was her departure date? Either this is a very poorly written article or they know much more than they want the public to know.

I urge you and plead with you to stop the post and reposts, the phone calls and text messages. Many law enforcement agencies are involved and are doing all they can, let them do their work. Unless you have immediate information please refrain from these. Your continued prayers are needed and so very much appreciated. Share 6 people like this. Tracey Nishimoto Harlan Will do Jim. I apologize for the added chaos. Love and {{hugs}} to you and Cathy ♥♥♥ August 30 at 8:43pm · 1 Chip Strickland Well said my brother. There are several agencies working very hard around the clock.

Friday at 7:03am via mobile Mike Rickenberg While I agree with your request for people to stop the texts and phone calls I think re-posting Ivy's picture and information can keep people aware of the fact that she needs to be found. We can't have too many people looking for her. Police agencies are working hard but[ most of the time they rely on witnesses and sightings to get their job done.

None of this is verified, so just more rumors at this point, but rumors from a close relative. This is what I was told: Ivy lied to her boss and her roommate and told them her grandfather had died and she needed time off. She did not tell her parents (who are not divorced and seem to be together) that she was coming to Kingsland. She borrowed $750 from her very much alive grandfather, saying she needed tires for her car. Ivy did drop her dog off at the Laurel Island Animal Clinic. But neglected to drop off the paperwork showing the dog had its shots, the Animal Clinic contacted her parents about the paperwork when she couldnt be reached and thats when rumors started about her missing.. Her parents, not knowing she was even coming to Kingsland, contacted room mate and her work and discovered the lie about her gpa. After the police were contacted, Ivy must have heard of the uproar and abandoned her car and phone in a place where she knew it would be found. There was a note asking whoever found the car to tell her parents she is okay and just needed time. Her family does believe that this has snowballed on her and she is very embarrassed for being caught in her lies about the money and her gpa. Knowing we have all done embarrassing things (especially in our twenties), they have tried to keep the media attention to a minimum until LE decides if she is missing on her own or if she was abducted. They are checking camera's in the area her car was found, and checking cruise lines out of Ft Lauderdale. As of today, the source I spoke with does not know the results of the investigation. One thing about cruises during hurricane season, is that they are very cheap and she could book a long cruise with spending money for $750. Without a phone, she could very well be spending this time getting her thoughts together. I have known this family for years, her older brother went to school with my daughter, and Ivy went to school with my son. They are a Christian family and very private. Understanding that Ivy is of age, she just needs to contact her family and let them know she is okay. Until LE says otherwise, I believe, as her family does, that there is no foul play and she is "missing" by her own choice. Ivy, if you are reading here, please just contact your mom and dad and let them know you are ok. No need to be embarrassed, we have all been there. We all just want to know you are safe. Hope this helps, I will let you all know if I hear any more details. Welcome to Websleuths all you Camden locals... see ya at the Catfish Festival! ETA: Her car did not have new tires, and her dog was picked up by her dad. Of course, I realize there is still a chance of foul play, that someone (maybe an internet connection) could have gotten her to lie and get the money and did harm to her. We all know how devious a perp can be, and I do believe that she is a very naive and innocent girl for her age. I will continue to hope for the best and send good vibes to her and her family.

Police: Missing Camden woman may have harmed herself 12:32 AM, Sep 14, 2012 CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. -- Camden County Sheriff's Detectives and Kingsland Police are now saying missing 24-year-old Ivy Merck may have intended to harm herself. Investigators met with a group of criminal profilers from around the world Thursday morning to discuss Merck's disappearance. That's according to the Camden County Sheriff's Office Facebook page. "After exhausting every available lead, examining all the available evidence and consulting with profilers, investigators have determined that there is a high probability Ivy may have intended to harm herself," the post said. "Everyone involved hopes Ivy can be brought home safely but the likelihood of that happening greatly diminishes every day." Friday, September 14th, is Merck's 25th birthday.
