Milania Giudice, the 20-year-old daughter of Teresa Giudice, went missing for 30 minutes during a mental health episode at Tampa International Airport this Wednesday. Police intervened around 2:20 PM to locate the University of Tampa student, who was traveling with family and a counselor.
A pink animal carrier and the 2:20 PM emergency call
Newly released 911 dispatch audio,obtained by TMZ, details a chaotic scene at Tampa International Airport where Milania Giudice vanished from her companions. The audio reveals that Milania Giudice was traveling with a cat in a pink animal carrier when she "went rogue," prompting an immediate plea for police assistance from several women in her party.
The group accompanying the 20-year-old included her mother, Teresa Giudice, her 25-year-old sister Gia Giudice, and a professional counselor. according to a law enforcement source, police were able to locate Milania Giudice approximately 12 minutes after they were first contacted, allowing the entire group to eventually board their flight together.
The Florida Baker Act and reports of suicidal thoughts
Internal law enforcement documentation suggests the airport incident was the culmination of a severe mental health crisis. a CAD log referenced in the reporting indicated that Milania Giudice had recently been rleeased from a hospital and was experiencing a mental breakdown characterized by suicidal thoughts.
The log specifically mentioned a possible "Baker Act" situation. Under Florida law, the Baker Act allows for the involuntary mental health examination of an individual for up to 72 hours if they are deemed a danger to themselves or others. This detail suggests that the family and their counselor were operating under high-stress medical protocols even before arriving at the terminal.
A May domestic violence arrest and the loss of Victoria Zardoya
The events in Tampa are part of a broader, distressing pattern for Milania Giudice over the last several months. In May, Milania Giudice was arrested following a domestic violence dispute at her mother's New Jersey residence. As reported by the Daily Mail, the incident involved Milania Giudice allegedly throwing food and candles during an erratic episode that led her 22-year-old sister, Gabriella, to call 911.
Compounding these struggles was the death of Milania Giudice's childhood best friend, Victoria Zardoya, who passed away on July 24 after a devastating fall. This personal tragedy occurred shortly after the May arrest, creating a volatile emotional environment. To address these challenges, Page Six reports that Milania Giudice enrolled in anger management classes in August.
Why no official police report was filed for the incident
Despite the involvement of emergency dispatchers and the mention of the Baker Act, there remains a notable lack of official documentation regarding the airport meltdown. Page Six reported that no formal police report was created, and no arrests or medical transports were executed following the search at Tampa International Airport.
This absence of a paper trail leaves several questions unanswered, particularly regarding how a person flagged for suicidal thoughts in a CAD log was cleared to board a flight so quickly... Additionally,while TMZ noted that Milania Giudice posted a video of the airport tension to social media before deleting it, the full extent of the interaction between the family and airport security remains unverified by official law enforcement statements.
