Current Events > Harvey Parker (missing gay guy) found dead :(

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hes been missing for a couple weeks after leaving a gay club in London. Ive been following the story and hoped he would show up alive. You know, simply going missing of his own free will. Having a good time.

Rest in peace.

RIP

Poor guy

If he was murdered, I hope they find surveillance footage so they can catch the killer :/

How often are missing persons missing because of their own volition?

Fuck, dude.
Rest in peace

A lot more often than you'd think. 90% of missing person reports tend to solve themselves shortly after.

That's terrible. RIP.

I cant help but wonder how hard it would be to make yourself go intentionally missing in modern times. Were so plugged in all the time, even unknowingly.

Not as hard as you'd think. There has to be a valid, reasonable situation before police can even try to access stuff to locate people; doing so otherwise is a big no-no on personal rights. It all depends on the circumstance of how/why they are being reported as missing. Some people just don't want to be found.

Late teens, young adult, who is self-sufficient and does their own thing? If reported by a mother or father with "I just haven't heard from them lately.", it isn't deemed a high-value reason.

Now, if say: "I haven't heard from them lately; they usually call me every day/set time of the week, and the last time I talked to them, something was wrong.."..Well, not enough to invade their privacy, but enough to justify sending people out to their place.

Now, something like: "My young child has gone missing. He is always home after school on time, but today, he is already 5 hours late.."..1: Young Child. 2: Broken normal habit by not showing up...Both are reasons to put it in as an immediate response required, and can quickly lead to the more extensive methods of search.

The reason things have to be split off and separated like that in terms of "How likely is it this is a real missing person?"..You'd be amazed how many reports come in, how may Welfare Checks we get daily just in my small town. And most of them tend to just be nothing.

@Senta are you a police officer? :)
Thanks for the input.

Nah. I'm a Detention Officer/Booking(Technically a Civilian, as I'm not sworn in.); so I work the jail. Once people are arrested and brought in, they are passed off to me and I continue the process from there.
Inputting Missing Person reports are one of the number of database things I handle.

Poor guy. I hope they can found out what really happened to him. Being found in the river definitely makes me think foul play.

Ah. Sounds like a very important and varied job!
