Hi -- found the link below related to the Kristin Smart case.
https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/kristin-smart-disappearance-cal-poly-first-apology-paul-flores-murder-conviction/

Kristin's friends said, when they called Cal Poly police, officers initially wouldn't take a missing persons report – and when they did, days later, police told the Smart family their daughter was likely camping.

So much cringe. I wish police would stop telling worried family members random guesses with no merit when their loved ones go missing. Is that really supposed to calm their nerves?
