I watched a program recently and they said that the moment someone is reported as missing these days, the police will receive the equivalent of more than 500 pages of information about the person almost immediately. Their recent whereabouts, patterns of movements, what they buy/stocked up on, who their friends and associates are, bank accounts, credit statements, who they have spoken to, emails/texts/websites etc. You name it. It's not a nice pleasant world we live in.
