We con't control when a random spark decides to ignite a building on fire, when someone is reported dead or missing, or when someone has a heart attack, stroke, or kidney stone.
What's relevant is to judge between normalcy and emergency. Not blindly jumping to "it's an emergency" just 3 hours into the absence of someone, is what was suggested.

Now imagine if hat took it to the cops at 2:30.

"when did you last see her?"

"3 hours ago".

If you could open my life like a book you would see that I've put up with more than enough shit already to cover somebody's lifetime. I guess I've just reached breaking point because nothing like this has ever happened before, esp. not answering the phone.
Which is why, accept dan's opinion. Your life and what you've been through, isn't of a consequence to him, the OP/thread topic is, and to which he gave you his suggestion. No need to pick on that.
