Early morning search for woman in the water off Carson Beach comes to an abrupt end

Steve Saleeba helps fill us in on all the commotion:
So these three women are hanging out at Carson Beach in the wee hours this morning. After awhile, two of them notice the third is mising, they assume the worst, contact State Police and before you know it, a full-bore search is going on in Dorchester Bay.
At least until some woman goes up to a trooper around 2 a.m. and asks what the fuss is about. Turns out the third friend hadn't gone for a swim. She'd wandered along the shore to UMass and then returned to investigate all the lights and stuff back at the beach.

Wow.
They didn't, you know, call her? This is definitely a reminder that it's important to tell people where you're going if you're just wandering off..
Um yeah, sitting on the beach
Um yeah, sitting on the beach at 2AM, friend wanders off to UMASS unannounced, friends freak out. They were definitely tripping out on something.
All's well
That ends well.
How about..
handing her the bill for all that stupidity?
Handing who a bill?
Does she need permission to take a goddamn walk alone?
How do we know that she didn't try to tell her friends that she was headed elsewhere anyway? Not that she has any legal requirement to consult her chaperones or something ...
The NSA probably knew where she was anyway.
You know, the girls
who obviously were too busy texting to notice where their friend went, then in a panic obviously forgot how to text their missing friend and then involved umpteen resources to find their ditzy friend?
Paging Cripes
Can we do without the baseless and sexist assumptions? Who said any of that was what happened? I think it's completely plausible that someone said she was going to walk down to the water and changed her mind and forgot to say something, or her friends misunderstood where she said she was going. Maybe they saw/heard someone else swimming and thought she'd gone in the water? Yeah, I'd call the cops too if I thought someone had gotten swept away. I wouldn't stop to worry about what some asshole on the internet would call me if I was fortunately wrong and my friend was fine.
In case you hasn't noticed
we live in an idiocracy. In my experience, it's not much of a stretch to think that either men or women who are at the beach in Southie in the wee hours were under the influence of some choice libations.
Often, some form of stupidity occurs, and it's not native to one sex in particular.
Exactly
why bars should be opened until 4 am, so that the beautiful people have someplace to get hammered and do not have to resort to hanging out in public places.
Moron
Sounds like she was a moron.
Love hearing helicopters
Love hearing helicopters hovering over my neighborhood at 2:00 a.m. when I'm trying to sleep. Thanks you morons!
I was there - It happened around 8:30 pm - not in early morning

Two incidents? Or the woman left her friends again?
Because I've heard from a couple of folks (including one who posted just before you) that there was definitely a 2 a.m. incident.
