I don't know about really, truly wanting to find her, but I can tell you with certainty that it isn't easy once your forwarding address has expired. State databases don't talk to other state databases, so since she moved out of state, finding her would have been pretty difficult, especially 11 years ago. It's not like Ohio can see a Texas (or any other state) driver's license database or car registration database.
I'm not saying LE acted responsibly in any way, just that it's not always that easy to find someone when they move.
Cleveland police policy was not followed before they removed michelle's name from NCIC 15 months into the investigation. Barbara lived at her same house in Cleveland until 2011 when she moved to florida. Written policy states the police visit the house and barbara lived there until 2011 when her family members lived there after she moved.

from link ==> Cleveland police department's written policy on investigating missing adults... states that an officer must go and see that a missing person has been found, then inform the FBI within two hours for removal from the National Crime Information Center database.

from link ==> 15 months into the investigation Cleveland police removed Knight’s name from the FBI database of missing people. Police said this is protocol because they could not reach Knight’s mother by phone to confirm she was still unaccounted for.
“Barbara says nobody contacted her back then. She lived in the same house for years. When she left (for Florida), (Barbara and Michelle's) family still lived there. She (Barbara) would be easy to find. They’re the Cleveland police.
