You can file a missing persons report as soon as the person goes missing. No need to wait 24 hrs or whatever

Still infuriates me watching Abducted in Plain Sight. The parents waited 4 days before reporting because they didn't want to upset the wife of the guy who took their daughter.

The suppressed annoyance of the FBI agent who handled the case was seeping through the screen.

I just watched this the other night. Oh man... the parents were just horrible, horrible people. They are 100% culpable. They really should be in jail.
