I have personal knowledge of one case where an alcoholic guy left and eventually disappeared. Even then, there was some sporadic contact before full disappearance. I suspect a full hard stop is quite rare, especially for normies.
Police failure can have tragic consequences. In Canada we had the Laura Babcock case where a mixed up woman disappeared and the police refused to investigate. Eventually her killers killed a family man for his truck before getting caught. People need to understand that in a real medical or police emergency you have to push the authorities and not just trust them to do their best for you.
As a healthy young man with a travel bug I avoided solo drinking and late nights out. Perhaps I missed out on some fun but I stayed safe.
Everything is a competition for attention and resources. Everyone thinks their emergency is the most important one, sure. But if you really do believe something is wrong, having a total stranger tell you that you're overreacting is absolutely not going to work. If you need to hurt feelings, do it. You have to have the resoluteness of someone willing to go to jail over it.
Also, this might be beyond the financial reach of most Americans, but I feel like having a lawyer on retainer is becoming a must-have in this world. The average person has very little influence. A lawyer gives a person influence.
