I think the wording of "did not report her missing for 24 hours" is not really what happened. She was reported missing within a couple hours of the family realizing that no one in the family had heard from her all day. During those couple hours family went door to door which led to additional neighbors searching, which led to the missing child phone call. Whether parents made the call or a neighbor made the call does not matter too much to me in that the parents could have been crying and unable to speak at that point, or a neighbor might have just made the decision while parents were still frantically searching the neighborhood.
She was last seen 24 hours (plus or minus) prior to the missing child report.
So it is not that they waited 24 hours to file. They searched for a couple hours, then the call was made.
True...so, 22 hours before anyone started looking for her....
