Reply to comment by Devittraisedto2 in LPT If a loved one goes missing and you enter their home to look for possible leads/clues, don't allow any family friends/neighbors to enter the home if they volunteer to help you look. by cS150

What I meant was more along the lines of you knock on their door, nobody answers so you enter the home to make sure they're okay, and then you find out that they're missing. I agree with you, however. You are correct and TIL.

Tbh my first instinct would be to try and reach out to them in any way I can, if they still don't respond, of course I'll check the house. But if I have the suspicion that they're missing after I check the house and their cars are still there, I'd leave the house without touching anything else and call the police and report a missing person's report. Because it would be questionable that their vehicles are there, but they are not. Especially when all attempts to contact them have failed.

I'd make sure no one else can open or enter the house until the cops arrive. So that there's absolute certainty that after you discover that they're missing its only you that has entered and left the house in that time.

Exactly what I meant, I couldn't have said it better. As they say, the real LPT is in the comments, lmao. I agree with you.

Real talk, I understood your intent so just wanted to clarify further regarding the LPT itself

It's better to err on the side of caution as people say
