I don't think that is the case most times. The police investigate family and friends first typically.

It doesn't have to be the case most of the time to contact police first (and only) if you find a missing person.

Neither do I. But whenever I see a missing poster that does not contain information regarding police involvement (A case number, officers name or phone number), much like the poster shown, I like to comment this information.

You never know who is trying to just disappear from a bad situation and I know I would never want to unwittingly force someone back into a situation that is dangerous for them.

The police do next to nothing in adult missing cases absent of probable cause of foul play. It is still good advice to use them as a third party on these cases because you never know what's going on in anyone's life and it takes the judgement call off of you personally.
