I can’t be certain by I’d wager that’s Hollywoodism seeping through. Either the podcast is wrong or the dispatch/officer on duty has it wrong. The first 48 hours are the most vital in finding a missing person, they would not want to waste half of that as procedure.
Edit: I don’t want you to just believe some rando online. Here’s some sources:
https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/5-things-to-know-about-missing-persons-reports/
The federal law on missing persons: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:34 section:40501 edition:prelim)
Internationally (UK): https://www.missingpeople.org.uk/get-help/report-a-missing-person
This edit isn’t me trying to prove I’m right, more to just accurately educate. Hope the information is never needed!!






Am I the only one who thinks ‘terminates’ isn’t the best synonym for fired with this employer?
