A search is underway for Emma Smith, 21, who was last seen on Friday in the area of Military Street in Georgetown.

Police say Emma is in need of medication “critical for her health.”

Just read that on her sister H's FB profile. Essential to understand how critical it is to find her asap. Jmoo.If you look on FB for updates on her being missing you can find a post from her sister with some interesting updated information that will be critical to searchers. But I can't link as it's neither verified or MSM..
If she is in need of mental health professionals, wouldn't that make her endangered, regardless of whether she left on her own? It almost sounds as if LE isn't ruling self-harm out but has simply chosen to stop devoting resources to Emma's case.
The Georgetown Police Department wrote on Facebook that officers declared the search for Emma Smith, 21, to an inactive status.
“During the investigation, we worked closely with Emma’s family and mental health professionals to gather as much information as possible,” the GPD wrote. “Evidence collected throughout the investigation suggests that Emma meticulously planned her departure and left voluntarily.”

I think you mistook what I'm trying to say. Millions of Americans have a therapist or take psych meds for whatever reason and are no risk of harm to themselves. If those millions of Americans went missing voluntarily, LE wouldn't consult "mental health professionals" because it simply wouldn't be necessary. So the very fact that LE chose to consult mental health professionals is IMO in itself concerning.No, it doesn't. There are a lot of people who have mental health professionals in their lives who are fully functional and would not harm themselves. There are a lot of people in therapy dealing with things like stress at work or school, or divorce, or grief for a loved one who are not at risk of self-harm. We have no idea what Emma's situation was. For all we know, she told people she wanted to leave for one reason or another or that she wanted certain people out of her life and that's what law enforcement is going by. We just don't know.
