"First of all, a lot of people thought I lied to my mother, saying I was on a farm when I was actually on The Bachelor," Martinez explained. This was a popular theory. The optics of the situation certainly suggest that Martinez's mother filed the missing persons report while she was on the show. The Bachelor famously doesn't allow cell phones or internet in the mansion, so it's conceivable that someone on the show could be declared "missing." Kelly Ripa mused on Live with Kelly and Ryan that Martinez was missing because she'd actually won the whole shebang. We now know this not to be true.
