What Happened to the YouTuber?
In 2016, internet users expressed their concern when there seemed to be a sudden noticeable difference in the way the British vlogger talked during her video sessions. In the particular video that set her fans off, Marina Joyce appeared to be a shadow of herself and was casting shifty glances beyond the camera.
To make matters worse, fans equally noticed a gun in the background of the video. Two weeks later, she made another video in which she still looked cagey and had some very angry looking bruises on her arms. But what set people off for real was that about 13 minutes into the video she was clearly heard whispering “Help me”.
The second video caused a massive outcry and had the young Youtuber’s name trending with the hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce. As she trended, fans suggested that she may have fallen victim to kidnapping or may even be under the influence of drugs. Social media detectives swung into action to solicit help for the supposedly troubled star.
A particular episode on Twitter saw users scrutinize Marina’s video on Date Outfit Ideas where they claimed she appeared to be filming the video under duress, in other words, a kidnapper was somewhere behind the camera and that explained her uneasy movement during the video and some of the bruises that she had on her hand.
Notwithstanding the speculations making the rounds, Marina later intervened to clear the air. She reassured her fans who were concerned about her safety that she’s absolutely fine. According to her, the bruises were a result of a fall in the forest.
Apparently, she was not kidnapped and wasn’t struggling with drug overdose or anything relating to that. It was later confirmed by the police that Marina Joyce is alive and well.
More recently, the YouTuber was reported missing on the 7th of August 2019 after she was last seen on the 31st of July. Following the reports, the police made a public appeal asking anyone who has any useful information about her whereabouts to speak up and help find her. A few hours later, her boyfriend, another YouTuber named Brandon Mehmed made a post confirming that Joyce was alive and well as confirmed by the police.
