Reasons a person would leave the house at 1:30 in the morning:
- Someone called and needed her help.
- She was online and someone wanted to meet up with her.
- She got in a fight and left the house to get fresh air.
- She was taken from the house.
- She frequently leaves the house at night.
- She got called into work.
- She had planned on leaving and night would be best, she determined.
- To check up on a another person
Why the wait:
- They really weren't in a hurry to report, because she has done this before.
- They knew she was mad and she would need a day or two to cool down.
- They didn't care.
- They suspect the reason she left could take her a few days.
- It was not unusual for her to leave and come back a few days later.
- They didn't notice she was gone.
- They needed time.
- Make time on someone's side.
What would they need to check to rule out or confirm any of the above:
- Phone records - who did she talk to, when, why. Ping activity.
- Co-workers - was she having problems at home?
- Online records - who did she talk to last, what did she say, when did she post last, what did she post, has she logged in since, was she playing a game with anyone, did she have online friends she would want to see/visit.
- Bank - when were her accounts last accessed, where, why, and any unusual activity. Buy any tickets lately?
- Does she have her identification with her? Her purse? Her passport?
- Did she owe anyone? Did anyone owe her?
- Who were her friends/family, when did she last contact them, why and anything unusual?
- What was her relationship like with those within the house lately?
- Any new information on her health status? Any conditions that would make someone leave and not be able or willing to come back?
Which can be ruled out, and which make more sense.
Why would the authorities not be on it still, what would make them wait for new leads.
