Without more information, I can't fault LE. Adults get to go missing.
We don't know the nature of her health condition or how or whether it relates. But presumably LE does.
In the absense of a crime scene, how can LE investigate a crime if they've got no indication of one? A specific tip could blow that wide open -- blood, a threat.
She could've checked herself into a rehab or retreat. She could be on bender in an encampment. She could be with a tinder date no one knows about.
I personally like those possibilities because they mean she's alive, living her life or working through things or both.
If I were her family, I'd be a wreck, I'd be frustrated that LE isn't doing more, but LE can't possibly devote resources to every family situation, especially when -- outside of the missing itself -- there's no indication of a crime, or even what kind of crime it would be. DV, carjacking, etc.
It really underscores that value of communicating with someone. Confide and document when there's DV, alert someone if you need some R&R time. "I'm going away, you needn't know where, just don't be alarmed. I'll return."
Not ours to know but if her medication involves mood stabilizers or methadone or chemo drugs or or or, how might that color our reactions/judgment/understanding? Were they meds she was vigilant in taking or meds she rejected? Was full-time work a development that pleased her? Worried her? Overwhelmed her? Her relationships, same questions.
If she had just gotten the promotion to full time, when was she expected to start that phase? What was her expectation for Tuesday? Was she aware she was expected at work? Was it a genuine oversleep or a schedule mix-up?
Did she drive toward work? Did she make it to work (to the lot)? Was she feeling like she'd let them down and couldn't bring herself to go in? Did she drive to somewhere familiar to think? Did she contemplate her future at the firm? Her future, in whole? Did she spiral?
Or did she meet with foul play?
KB, in Colorado, was missing for three weeks before LE elevated her story to suspected foul play. After two wellness checks. And only after her family spied blood droplets in her townhouse -- hee fiance, convicted for blugeoning her to death.
I pray this is not that.
But when a woman goes missing it's a fair ask. Horrifying but fair.
Some of the flags are there.
If she is safe I hope she'll come home soon. Or call.
And if she's not, I hope a tip will come in, with enough detail for LE to be able to launch a full, active investigation into her disappearance.
