Woman who went viral searching for missing husband ends marriage

Ashley McGuire, the woman who captured the attention of internet sleuths in her quest to locate her missing husband, has made the decision to end their marriage, according to TMZ. McGuire received a text from her estranged husband, Charles, following her plea on Facebook for help. After allegedly abandoning her and their children last year, Charles expressed a willingness to sit down and talk.

Following Charles' message, McGuire took down her viral Facebook post, as she no longer needed it since she obtained Charles' new address, thanks to an online follower who managed to track it down for her. The address, located in Texas, will allow McGuire to proceed with filing for divorce, a step she intends to take as soon as possible. She plans to seek full custody of their children in the process.

While appreciative of the overwhelming support she received during her search, McGuire acknowledges that she is not alone in her situation. She recognizes that countless other women are also grappling with finding their missing spouses. Initially, McGuire simply expected someone from her Massachusetts town to see her post and assist her, but to her surprise, her story resonated on a global scale. Thousands of individuals tuned in to her journey, offering advice and tips, ultimately leading her to locate Charles within less than 24 hours, as previously reported by TMZ.

The at-times unexpected power of social media was on full display throughout this saga, proving that a single plea for help can reach far beyond what even the person making the request anticipates. As Ashley McGuire prepares to move forward with divorce proceedings, she hopes her story will raise awareness about others facing similar challenges and ultimately lead to support and solutions for those in need.
