She asked the internet to find husband who 'ghosted' her and their kids. He was tracked down within hours

Within 24 hours, a number of women said they'd matched with Withers on the dating app, Bumble. They deduced that he'd moved from Massachusetts to Texas and was now going by "Charlie" instead of Charles.

Others tagged his (mostly abandoned) X profile. On Reddit, TripAdvisor, and Yelp, users who identify themselves as former employees and customers blasted Withers and his restaurant.

One review from November 2023 went as far as writing that they tried to contact Withers for a refund for a gift card after the restaurant closed without notice, "but apparently he's really good at ghosting people."

By the end of the day Saturday, McGuire updated her post to add that multiple women claiming to have been involved with Withers had reached out.

"They found out about me through social media or however else," she wrote. "(The women have) been pretty spread across the country, though."

And, to be expected with armchair detectivery, there were also some misfires. That included the surfacing of a video of a man — who looks similar to Withers but McGuire doesn't believe is actually him — performing karaoke.

"So I apologize to whoever it is for your karaoke being blasted all over the internet," McGuire wrote. "You did a great job though!"

Ultimately, she said she'd been armed with "more than enough" information to find him. She also added that she didn't want harm or threats to come to Withers, just to have the ability to start her and her children's next chapter of life.

"I absolutely did not expect this," she wrote. "Single moms are a special breed and I know a lot of you have gone through the same situation I have."

On Monday, McGuire had her first public interview on Boston's JAM'N Morning Show with Ashlee Feldman.

She shared that Withers had reached out through an old phone number that she assumed was inactive based on how long her texts and calls had been ignored. She added that she took down the viral Facebook post because Withers got in touch.

"I did not intentionally make him the most hated man out there by any means," she said. "I hope he's good. For somebody to turn their life this upside down, there's obviously some internal struggles there, there's a lot going on. But at the same time to just walk away from all responsibility, just walk away like it never happened is just, you can't do that."
