How are you supposed to help the victim while simultaneously avoid being falsely accused of being the perpetrator?

    Yea but like how do you know what the cops are thinking. They could assume its a “self-report” if they can’t find any suspects. I watched a documentary where the boyfriend was immediately their #1 suspect, but thankfully they later found evidence that someone else did it, and that he wasn’t involved with his girlfriend’s disappearance. That could’ve turn out poorly if the cops were being dicks.

      Romantic partners are basically always looked at by investigators because of how frequently they end up being the personal responsible for the crime.

      But wouldn’t it look more suspicious if she was missing for a week and the boyfriend “just didn’t want to get the cops involved”?

      I guess in that case you have to weight that risk against how much you like your girlfriend.
