And many are just straight up ignored. Not to disparage anyone's good intentions or efforts over thereI just have to let my mind wander away occasionally from all the sad and dark places it goes when reading about this case. That's why I have to say I let out a rather dry laugh after reading a post that (paraphrased) asked
"have they tried calling her cellphone? just wondering"
Made me imagine some bumbling detective in a 40's slapstick reading that with widening eyes, mumbling "
by George!", then racing to the station to tell the Chief, whose cigar drops from his mouth as he throws his arms up, yells "of
course!", and finger-snaps some gulping rookie who trips over himself to fetch the nearest rotary phone receiver.
Turns out it was all a terrible misunderstanding! Abby is reclining somewhere tropical in giant sunglasses with one of those tanning mirrors. A hunky bellhop brings her another virgin pina colada on a tray and tells her there's a message for her at the front desk. Cut to Abby in sunglasses walking through her front door, luggage in hand and a trail of sunburned detectives in lei's, Hawaiian shirts, and their usual fedoras. They almost crash into a pile-up behind her as ZH marches in with one arm on her hip and the other finger-wagging in "you've done it this time!" disapproval. The detectives gulp. Abby shrugs with a smile and after a quiet minute everyone bursts into laughter, coming in for a group hug as the credits circle closes around them.
I would settle for any movie genre of happy ending, though.
