48 Hours

If a missing child is reported, the law acts immediately, but if it's a missing adult or a missing teen, 48 hours must pass before the law investigates seriously, because missing adults and missing teens, show up on their own within 48 hours generally. I heard that the first 48 hours is absolutely key, in solving a crime successfully. After 48 hours, the odds drop drastically. A 1% loss because the report wasn't investigated immediately, is a loss that is unacceptable and way too many.
