Has anyone else looked into the delay in filing the missing person's report for Charlotte Heimann? It's baffling to me that it took almost a month for the authorities to recognize the urgency of her case. Given the clear signs of her feeling endangered and the fact that she told the psychiatric center staff about her fears, you’d think it would have been acted on more swiftly. Does anyone know if this was typical for the time period, or was it a mistake specific to her case? It might not have changed the outcome, but I can’t help but wonder if that lost month might have provided crucial time to gather evidence or find leads. Curious to hear if anyone has insights or similar cases from the early '80s where delayed reports happened.
Does anyone else find the timing around Charlotte Heimann's disappearance super unsettling? I've been digging into the limited info available and can't shake the feeling that the delay in filing her missing person report might have cost investigators a crucial lead. I mean, nearly a month before she was even officially reported missing is a huge gap! From what I've read, any potential eyewitnesses or leads would’ve grown cold by then. There’s also the fact that she was already expressing real fear, saying she felt threatened. So why the hold-up? Does anyone have more insight into why law enforcement might not have taken her case seriously from the start? Any local history buffs or retired Rochester PD officers here with some context on how cases were handled back then? It's frustrating how often these 'suspicious' cases just hit a dead end.
