RSBM Very interesting.I don't think I can ever recall a case where a possibly deceased missing person was not the victim.
Personal anecdote:
Each time I called the police to report DV at my neighbor's house, I watched the abuser immediately leave so they wouldn't have to answer/talk to the police. It was temporary, however. Evading the police wasn't always successful.
The link below has an entire webpage dedicated to:
"When your partner threatens suicide". It's sad that so many DV victims have to deal with this.
Also wanted to mention that if your partner/spouse threatens suicide, it is considered emotional abuse. An abuser can threaten to kill themselves to manipulate their victim to succumb to their demands, often because the victim wants to leave but the abuser wants them to stay. In these cases it would be appropriate to call 911.
Will they ever publish the 911 tape? The proof would be recorded.
