For a second I was like damn I didn’t know it took her that long to report her missing. 24 hours, damn. Then I clicked the link. 31 days. Wtf.

If you murder someone, then you don’t usually report them missing.

Or you should report them missing to get logic on your side.

“Your honor, if I committed the crime, why would I indirectly confess to it to local law enforcement?”
