Actually JA did call non emergency line to report missing friend and her concerns, and asked for guidance...this person advised NOK had to be the one to report missing person, thus due to high level of concerns by JA, they attempted to contact Brad, the husband of the missing women..The rest is history..The police's call was not initially returned by Brad, but later able to speak with him...thus the delay in getting LE out there to initiate a search.. I do not believe the initial visiting detectives knew of everything JA said..Only her concerns that she wasnt where she was suppose to be...
I agree, and I don't think they were thinking much beyond possible domestic dispute at this time. How many missing persons vs. domestic dispute calls does the CPD get? When my ex-parte protective order was put in place, before I moved out of state two months later, my friends/family called LE on four different occassions concerned, and stating what was going on. For whatever reason, i was walking the dog, putting kids in bed or bath, I couldn't get to or hear the phone, and they simply showed up on my door to inquire if everything was okay. It is more than possible, that given the info they had, that NC had left after a bad fight and gone to another friends house, or gotten coffee, or even just cleared her head. They did not know. It is not unusual for someone to leave for a period of time in these situarions without an eta for home. And LE knows that friends and family have a tendancy to worry and speculate the worst. Rarely does it mean that murder has occurred.
