“Missing 4 foot woman” seems like an oddly disrespectful (albeit accurate, I guess) headline…hope she will be located safely.

I thought so too. I still do. I’m 4’9” and I don’t think I’d want the headline to read that way but maybe they thought it would get more coverage which I’m sure it will. Always a good thing to help find her but I totally agree with you.

I see your perspective but I also think that a headline stating "missing 27 year old female" might not stick in someone's head whereas "missing 4 foot woman" is a distinguishing enough characteristic (to me) that maybe it will trigger someone's memory if they spot her. IMO

Hmmm, this is going to be a tough one. There's no case number mentioned and no one person at the police designated for this case.

Tweet sent out at the time, but it's also run by the Philadelphia PD, which also did the "blotter" link.

It was not posted on their FB page (some PD's will occasionally update the announcement post with a "found safe" one).

35th District | Philadelphia Police Department
^ This seems like the closest thing we have to a contact person. Should someone call or tweet to ask if Miranda has been found?

What's the difference between nolle prosequi and dismissal of charges?

Nolle prosequi amounts to a dismissal of charges by the prosecution. Some states use the term nolle prosequi, others refer to dismissal or discharge.
www.nolo.com www.nolo.com

Nolle prosequi - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org en.m.wikipedia.org

From the wiki, reasons for a nolle prosequi:
"The declaration may be made because the charges cannot be proved because vital witnesses have become unavailable or uncooperative, the evidence is too weak to carry the burden of proof, the evidence is fatally flawed in light of the claims that are brought,[10] the prosecutor becomes doubtful that the defendant is guilty, the defendant's innocence is proved, or the defendant has died. It has also been used when a federal criminal charge is brought up against a defendant when the prosecutor on a state charge for the same offense no longer wishes to pursue the case. Usually, that happens when the state prosecutor is content with the sentence on the federal charge and has no need to go any further with the original case."
