Missing-persons work frustrating for all sides; Toledo police office of 2 struggles to keep up....
The last time friends saw Nicholas Blasetzky, the Alzheimer's patient was behind the wheel of his 1983 Buick.
Toledo police opened an investigation as soon as they were called.
The smell of Cynthia Anderson's nail polish still hung in the air as a co-worker began making frantic phone calls to find her. Police responded immediately.
Then there was Rosemary Montgomery. She, too, disappeared.
Unlike the elderly church member or the reliable legal secretary, however, Miss Montgomery had a string of arrests for drugs and prostitution and a history of disappearing days, then weeks, at a time.
So when her mother, Pauline Dancs, tried to report the 25-year-old missing last month after "Rosie" left for New York and lost touch with her family, Ms. Dancs said police just shrugged.
Pauline Dancs, with granddaughter Olivia Montgomery, says police were not sympathetic to her missing-person call. Her daughter later telephoned to say she had been in jail.
"They told me, 'She's just a hooker. She'll come back.' "
