Honestly, trust me, you need to click here — I can’t explain all of this in a headline.
If you've been watching this season of The Bachelor, you have been introduced to Bekah Martinez.
And the fact that at age 22, she is much, much younger than the bachelor, 36-year-old Arie Luyendyk Jr.
But apparently, the drama in Bekah's personal life is much more complicated. She has been listed as a missing person in California's Humboldt county since November, around the same time the show was filming, the North Coast Journal reported on Thursday.
Her missing person's profile, in fact, is still live on the attorney general's website.
It examined why Humboldt has, according to the newspaper, "the highest per-capita rate of people reported missing in California."
The story was accomponied by a slideshow of all 35 people currently listed as missing in the county. One of them was Bekah, reported missing on Nov. 18, 2017.
Bekah was reported missing by her mother, the newspaper reported.
"Martinez had reportedly come to Humboldt County to work on a marijuana farm. Her mother hadn’t heard from her since Nov. 12, 2017,” Samantha Karges of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office told the Journal.
The Journal posted its story to Facebook, where Bekah was spotted by an eagle-eyed reader, and apparent Bachelor fan, Amy Bonner O'Brien. She let them know that it doesn't seem Bekah is missing, at least not on TV anyway.
The Journal then reached out to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, which made contact with Martinez and confirmed she is not missing.
"I just got off the phone with Rebekah. She is in fact the same person. She has been removed from (the Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit)," a sheriff's deputy reported, according to the Journal. (Her listing was still live when BuzzFeed News checked, however).
BuzzFeed News has contacted the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and the Office of the California Attorney General for more information.
Since the show premiered in early January, the filming likely took place between September and early December.
Bekah also has been very active on social media since the show aired, posting many photos on Instagram...
BuzzFeed News has contacted Bekah for comment.
