The man went to the store - but he was not there, after a few hours. If you have a suspicion that one of your friends is not just delayed, but gone, you need to proceed.
You will need
- - telephone;
- - photo of the missing person;
- - accounts on social networks.
Instruction manual
1
First, try to get through to the missing one. Perhaps he is not answering or unavailable, because the battery is dead or the phone just accidentally turned off, and after a while he will be able to pick up the phone.
2
Call friends and acquaintances of the missing person. Find out if they have him at a party or if they don’t know where he could go. Most often, missing children are with friends. Since children can lie and cover each other, call the parents of the child immediately.
If a person is registered in social networks, track on the Internet whether he appeared somewhere on-line. This is a good sign.
3
Call or go to institutions where the missing person could be - cafes, bars, restaurants, etc. If the missing person is abusing alcohol, call the detoxification center and ask if someone similar to him has been brought there.
4
Contact the police. It is believed that they will not accept a declaration of loss if less than three days have passed. This is not so, they must accept the application a day after the person has disappeared. Describe everything in the police that you can: how the missing person was dressed, what he looks like (it’s better to bring a photo), name all the places where he could appear, list the names of friends and acquaintances.
5
If a person doesn’t appear for quite some time, if the police are already connected, but there are no results yet, post the announcement on social networks. Paper ads of similar samples can be created by the police, and then printed and pasted, but the search through the social network is completely up to you. Write under what circumstances the person disappeared, how he was dressed, attach a photo, preferably in the same clothes. Ask friends to share information on the Internet. Such measures can be invaluable because information is spreading very quickly. By the way, in social networks there are groups of voluntary search squads. These people can help the police in the search, you can contact them.
Useful advice
The main thing is to keep calm, do not panic and believe that there is a person. Your clear mind and quick action are the key to successful searches.
