I am living a nightmare. My daughter is 24 and missing since yesterday. We filed a missing persons report in Indy last night and I am going to talk to a detective this morning. I can’t sit and wait and do nothing. Does anyone on here know if a missing persons report will trigger any kind of reporting if going through a TSA security checkpoint? We think she has her passport because it’s not in her apartment. Last license plate ping was in Griffith, IN near the 80/94 interstate yesterday morning (lives in Indy), wondering if she was heading to OHare or Midway (among a dozen other possibilities). This is really my only social media and I thought some of you might know about this aspect of aviation.
 
Can her cell phone carrier ping the GPS in her phone ? Prayers for you guys !!
 
Thank you. Her phone is in her apartment. We think this is more a case of trying to go “off grid”. She apparently ran out of her medication and was getting paranoid about phones, internet, etc.
 
Airport parking regularly scans plates. At CLT they do this at the entrance/exit of the lots, but they also run through the lots/garages and scan the plates, mostly for people who: 1. Can't remember where they parked, 2. Lost their ticket. You might see if you can get some assistance either from the parking office or the airport police (not TSA).
 
Oh man, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I don't know about checkpoints alerting, but she can only get through a checkpoint with a boarding pass, and the detective should be able to determine if she's bought a ticket.
 
I hope things turn out okay. You mentioned license plate reads - presumably LEO investigators pulled this? Did they also get her cell phone history as well? (Warrants are needed for that.)
 
I have no advice, but hope all turns out well--and soon!
 
Hopefully things turn out well. For some of the above doesn’t seem really easy as a private citizen. With the police involved, you could provide them with what you have. If she’s in a car, known to you, could try to check unpaid tolls at the Ipass site. I do that with my sister, she doesn’t have an ipass.


If you know any trusted friends of hers, call and ask them in they have any information. That could be work, school, whatever. If she has social media accounts, check for clues. I don’t think it’s easy to ‘disappear’ for almost anyone.
 
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. She’s now in the NCIC database so hopefully she’ll ping somewhere. Detective is working to activate the OnStar in the vehicle. She’s very clever and resourceful if she wants to disappear, too smart and paranoid for her own own good. Besides the police, her friends are all over social media and the tech aspect of this, which I know very little about.
 
When we went thru this exercise, we had access to the missing person’s bank account and were able to trace movement thru debit card activity. That narrowed the location down such that the relevant LE agencies could perform a welfare check which ended up finding who we were looking for.

Of note, we had to coordinate directly with the distant end LE agency; the locals weren’t interested in helping out.

Best wishes for an optimal outcome.
 
She has been located, alive, mentally not well, but alive. Thank you for your prayers.

I say the following as an example of anyone else ever has to deal with this:

As above, I had to advocate for our family. I worked cooperatively with Indy Metro PD and told the detective I had time as I’m retired. He gave me the last know license plate hit location. I asked if I could chase down with local PD at that location without interfering with the investigation.

So called local PD at last location. Dispatcher looked up plate and told us the car had been abandoned. We were devastated. I could never in a million years explain the emotion or my wife reaction (unconsolable mom). That car was our only hope.

I asked the dispatcher if she could access FD/EMS records. She said she would put me through to the hospital. Hospital couldn’t find her name, but the lady said it may be that it is confidential due to mental health privacy. She patched me through to them. As soon as I talked to them they said “yes she’s here”.

Hold and hug your kids, even if they are prickly.
 
I'm glad she's safe and you can rest easier.
 
I went through the same thing with my 23 y/o son 6 months ago. Unfortunately the outcome was worst case for us. I am very glad you did not have to feel that pain. I pray you will be able to find a long term solution to your daughter's issues.
 
Thank you Ed. I followed your post about your son closely. I was thinking about you when I started this post. I’m so sorry.

My uncle went through the loss of his daughter. Their tragedy was dragged out for years. My cousin’s body was never found.

They run tens of thousands of license plate cams around the country. Depending on the area, you might have cameras every 1-3 miles apart. You'll probably need to get law enforcement involved.

Thank God you found her. Hoping and praying things improve for her and for you.
 
I came to this after it was resolved, but I still want to express my support for you. It is very difficult to deal with a relative who has mental issues. Praying for healing for your daughter and you.
