A mother who tried by all means to contact her missing partner to obtain a divorce, after he left her stranded with their two young babies to start a new life, would have found his trace in less than 24 hours later having asked for help from Internet users.
“I’m really about to test the power of Facebook with this… Last year, when I was pregnant with our youngest, he decided that being a husband and father was no longer the lifestyle he wanted and he disappeared, without a trace,” lamented single mother Ashley McGuire last week in a publication that went viral on the internet.
For more than a year, the mother of three from Massachusetts has reportedly lost track of the father of her last two, a Briton named Charles Withers, who vanished into thin air while the couple was expecting their youngest, reported the “New York Post”.
The man apparently changed states and phone numbers overnight, she reported in the publication.
“He has a baby he hasn’t seen in over a year and another he’s never met (…) He probably never mentioned his wife and children in Massachusetts. If you know him, work with him, date him, can you ask him to contact me,” the woman begged.
Because the problem is that it is really “hard and long” to divorce someone who is “completely inaccessible”, so much so that she would have chosen to tell her story on the internet in the hope of being able to finalize divorce and “finally closing the chapter”, we can read.

Her cry from the heart would not have fallen on deaf ears, when in less than 14 hours, several women from Texas would have contacted the single mother claiming to have connected with the missing husband through the dating site Bumble .
Several allegedly provided her with an address and phone number, to the point where the woman posted an update on her Facebook account to thank Internet users for providing her with “MORE than enough information to locate him,” according to the American media.
Before this story, Charles Withers was likely a rising star in the English dining scene and owned a seafood establishment in Falmouth, England. He would have appeared on the cooking reality show “Chopped” in 2022, the “Boston Globe” reported.
