The community has expressed deep concern over the frequent disappearances of these girls, with many questioning the circumstances surrounding their repeated escapes. Comments from the public on social media reflect a mix of worry and suspicion. For instance, Tara-Marie Rodriguez commented, "There is something more going on here for sure," while Lauren Ashley suggested, "CPS needs to get involved … sounds like they are running away for a reason."
Some believe that the girls may be fleeing from unsafe conditions, particularly from a group home for teen girls located near their last known location. Kristin Kosmerl noted, "This appears to be a group home. Before passing judgment, none of us know what they have been through or why they are running away." Jessica Clark echoed this sentiment, stating, "These poor girls look traumatized. Why do they keep sending them back to the same foster home that they’re clearly trying to escape!? PBSO, are you looking into what they’re going through in their home?"
As the search continues, the community’s prayers and hopes are with these girls, with many urging authorities to delve deeper into the reasons behind their repeated disappearances. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Natasha Arnold, Amie Dydel, or Rycki Turbeville is urged to contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office at 561-688-3400 or dial 911.
