I can say one thing.
I once was involved in an incident, maybe 30 years ago, when someone went missing just north of Mexico. I was appalled and got a motel room and went to the police department.
Yeah, I was young, the police took me in their car to the site. They drove me back to my motel.
Later, I had to prove what happened and the was NO record. I looked like a liar but it did happen.
I have since heard of some local incidents of robbery and rape attempts and there is no police record.
Not sure what to think.
