- Is the individual a vulnerable adult? This could be because of mental capacity, extreme age or life threatening physical illness. Yes, extreme of age and questionable mental capacity.
- Is the individual a threat to himself or others? Is there a mental health issue that if not addressed could lead the individual to commit suicide, injure self or injure innocent bystanders? Yes, if she were given the chance to drive a car she could probably kill all bystanders in a drive around.
- A missing individual who has chemical dependency issues and has refused to face up to them does not rise to the level of a danger to himself or others by itself. This is a choice the individual has made and is free to make even if it is ruining his life. To my knowledge she is not chemically dependent.
- When there is history of disappearing and returning, no report should be made. If this person is acting on his own free will, it does not rise to the level of a police report. People have the right to direct their own lives in a manner they choose. There may be consequences for their actions but they will have to deal with that. Yes she tends to disappear and then reappear.
- Age alone is not a reason to file a police report. If a 70 year old person wants to leave his home and go somewhere, it is his right. If he has serious mental health issues, this may change the situation. I really think she is mentally not all there. If she was then she would keep a closer eye on her DILs.
- Did this individual tell you he was going to go somewhere and you disagreed with him? In this case, the individual had a plan and executed it. Example: Father tells his kids he is going to visit a relative in another city/state. The kids tell him he can't go. He then goes. He is not missing. He is acting on his own free will. What could change this is if he is a threat to himself or others or is a vulnerable adult. In this case, see the information above. This doesn't mean the kids think he is a vulnerable adult, but there is some medical reason that he is.
- No signs of foul play. Adults are free to roam about as they please. There seems to be foul play because none of the family members seem to be worried that she has gone missing. They never set a place setting for her at dinner or even send mani to her room with food or water for her. They never talk about her like Godfather Part III.
