And your son's stuff is a different story. Of course they can't tell some stranger who called them about your adult sons med history. Not sure why you would think they would.
I'm saying, even though the receptionist recognized me and knows me, she was unable to even tell me whether my son was a patient there (although in fact, I was the one driving him there and she knew that).
I don't know, in this case, with her being only declared "missing" where the HiPAA law falls, especially in a case as confidential as rehab would be.
A mother of a one-year-old, has disappeared in Colorado, and her mobile telephone was found in Idaho. Her family states she does not know anyone in Idaho. Soon, we will know.....!!!!
I don't believe the phone has been found, but it pinged in Idaho. I am sure the police are looking at the fiance/boyfriend/father of child as to where he was between Thanksgiving and Dec 2 when she was reported missing. Does he have anyone who can verify he was in Colorado? This is not to say she didn't just take off, that happens as well but it is suspicious.

Here ya go, LLCNYC.
In order for a drug and alcohol treatment center to release information, law enforcement must subpoena it from the facility, or the patient herself can give permission to release her intake information.
Unless the FBI has subpoena'd a treatment facility, they can not tell she's there.
They can't just make a plea, through the media and a press conference, hey anybody know where she is? and get a response from a treatment facility. Because of Hipaa.

I wonder if the FBI has subpoena'd the phone company for her records?
On our phone records, you can see every call placed and every text placed, although you can't read the content of the texts.
Also, her bank records. I haven't read that they've gotten any warrants or subpoenas at all, and I believe those are public information.
They state that the fiance didn't attend the press conference because he was only informed of it one hour before the time it was held, and had he had more time, he would have attended.
Interesting though... his attorney doesnt say why his failure to report her missing??
If I were asked for buccal swabs by police like a suspect....fiance or not rehab wouldn't be kept secret.

And actually the stat is just over half of women murdered are murdered by their intimate partner.
And we don't have a body yet, so we're not even into the just over 1/2 statistic.
Most women who go missing are found alive.
What I really don't get, on forums like this, is some people who don't know the people personally and are trading on very little information get so angry at posters who are hoping the woman is actually alive somehow. It's like you want her to be dead?

I'm open to alternatives in this case, despite suspicions about her fiance.
I dont know FBI actual statistics on the number found alive and well; almost 50% of missing persons are women, and true majority are resolved.
Missing by choice takes advance planning. Impossible to rent a car or fly without ID and credit card. She either doesnt want to be found...or not ready to be found. Unfortunate for investigators and FBIs waste of time if someone simply wants a new start in life.
Investigators aren't releasing much.
As it should be. In the past, when law enforcement makes a statement to the public " they arent in danger ",they're usually onto something.
