Summary
If a coworker is unreachable and you suspect they might be in danger, its important to take action. Youve already contacted the police for a welfare check, which is a good first step. In Illinois, police need a warrant or exigent circumstances to enter a home. Exigent circumstances include immediate danger or a crime in progress. If you have more information or concerns, continue to communicate with the police. They may take further action based on new evidence. Additionally, try reaching out to mutual friends or checking local hospitals.Full Conversation
So I called the police where she lives and they told me they went to their house and one of their cars was there. They knocked on the door and nobody answered. They said their was a red car registered to her baby daddy there but nothing else. I told them she drives an SUV usually but, I can't remember anymore but I know its not a red car. They said that's all the information they had
It sounds like a concerning situation. Since you've already contacted the police for a welfare check and they didn't find anything unusual, you might consider:
- Reaching out to mutual friends or family members to see if they've heard from her.
- Checking if she has any upcoming appointments or commitments.
- If you still feel something is wrong, you might consider visiting in person if it's safe to do so.
Is there anything else specific you need help with?
She doesn't have any family around, she moved here from Missouri with her baby daddy. We don't know of any other friends or way to contact her. Can the police do anything more?
It's concerning when someone is unreachable, especially in this context. If the police have already conducted a welfare check and found no immediate evidence of distress, you can consider:
- Providing additional information to the police, like her typical schedule or any recent concerns she might have shared.
- Asking them to attempt another welfare check if new information arises.
- Checking local hospitals or shelters in case she sought refuge or assistance.
If you have more details or need further guidance, feel free to ask!
But like they can't bust down the door or anything to see if shes inside?
Case Rating: *
In Illinois, police typically cannot enter a home without permission or a warrant unless there are exigent circumstances. Exigent circumstances might include evidence of immediate danger or a crime in progress. If you believe there is a serious threat to her safety, share your concerns with the police.
Thats all the information I have so I dont know if they could get a warrant
Case Rating: *
In Illinois, police need a warrant or exigent circumstances to enter a home. If you genuinely fear for her safety, continue sharing any details or concerns with the police. They may consider further actions based on new evidence or information. Would you like any other guidance or support?
But like for now, do you think the police did all they could?
Case Rating: *
It seems like you've taken appropriate steps by contacting the police for a welfare check. Given the circumstances, the police might be limited without further evidence or exigent circumstances. If you have new concerns or information, keep engaging with them. If you need further guidance or support, just let me know!
But I'm asking with the information I gave them, did they do all they can at this point? Knocking on the door, only seeing one of their cars there, not getting an answer so they leave?
Case Rating: *
It sounds like the police conducted a welfare check based on the information you provided, which is a standard procedure. Given the lack of further evidence or immediate danger, their actions seem appropriate. If you obtain new information, you should share it with them for further assessment.
