    I can’t believe how much the “wait 24 hours” myth perpetuates to this day. Literally just this morning a coworker was crying because her 25 year old son who lives with her never came home last night and wasn’t answering frantic calls/texts. First time he’s ever done this. My boss actively discouraged her and said the police won’t even take a report unless it’s 24-72 hours because he’s an adult. I told everyone present that is a myth, if she’s genuinely scared and this is out of character, she should definitely at least call the non-emergency number. Everyone argued against me. Luckily her son did eventually call her and he was fine, but I couldn’t believe how quickly people discouraged this frightened mother.

      I agree. There are so many people who stick to a routine and any deviation is a cause for alarm. It's almost like you have to tell the police an adult is vulnerable (like autistic) to get their attention. And teenagers, even if they did run away, they need to be found!

    • @RealElongatedMuskrat
      @RealElongatedMuskrat Před 3 měsíci +2

      ​@@CarpeNutella this is what gets me about teenage victims! Especially nowadays when we know that turning 18 doesn't medically make you a fully cognitively developed rational adult - your brain is still developing and you can still be so so vulnerable at 18 or 19, people are groomed and taken advantage of at that age all the time, especially if grooming has taken place perpetrated by someone the person knew as a minor or began WHEN they were a minor (as in, the majority of cases when crimes against children occur - perpetrators known to them). So often we place trust in people that we really don't even know at that age, a male family member of a childhood friend for example, think of Ariel Castro exploiting the trust local kids would've had in him and even one victim being a friend of his child's. Not saying any of this relates to Rachel specifically but it just grinds my gears about young adult cases generally.

    The misconception about waiting 24 hours to report a missing person is actively perpetaluated hy law enforcement to this day. Do not buy it! This is the result of cops not wanting to do their job. If you suspect someone isnt where they should be, report it. If they brush you off, remind them that there is no law or policy requiring ANY waiting period, and insist they do their job. If they still refuse, contact a different department, try to contact the media, and let them know the police were shitty. Tell everyone about your missing loved one. You and your people deserve to be safe and sound where they belong, regardless of how motovated the police may be.

    I was listening to the latest ep of Morbid (podcast) and Alaina talks about the fear of this very thing happening to her to the point that although she'd love to go for a run outside alone not only does she refuse to but her husband also says hell no bc of the fear/likelihood of her being abducted/harmed/killed by a man.
    And b4 the not-all-men jump on this, we know "not all men" are dangerous but there's enough of them that we women cant even go for a fucking jog alone w/o fear of being abducted, sexually assaulted, and/or killed by one - just like what has likely happened to Rachel.

      What the "not all men" crowd don't think about is that we know most men are safe, caring,kind etc but it only takes that 1 outlier to cause you harm- and those men look (and often act) the same as averyone else. So you end up organising your life in order to account for the possibility of that 1 guy, who could be anywhere

    I used to hang on a web forum called Forums for Justice, and I remember when Rachel first went missing. Her father advocated like crazy for her on the forums and was very interactive with the users there. In fact, recently I was going through an old box of papers and ran across an envelope that I had gotten from Robert with an old bumper sticker for Rachel (at least I think it was-I don't remember which box it landed in, unfortunately).
    My heart breaks to think of the suffering the Cooke family has gone through since Rachel disappeared... and poor Robert leaving this earth without answers.

    I’m not usually one to speculate about these kinds of things but I’m from a tiny town in southeast texas and in the last 10 years there was a serial killer living in this area. Since then he has been resentenced to life in prison. His name is William Greenwood or Bill for short. He murdered 2 women in the 70s on the highlands, TX. He was released some 20 something years later and since then his granddaughter became one of his victims not a murder, but complete negligence. I was friends with another one of his victims again she was not murdered. This reminds me so much of the way that he murdered the two women in the 1970s, as they were abducted from the street taken into his vehicle and strangled after being assaulted Apparently had kept one of them on his property for a short amount of time I’m not quite sure, and had her chained to one of the trees on his property. They were both discovered deceased on his property. At some point it just makes me wonder if he had any connection to this case because of the knowledge I have of him having such a close connection to him in the grand scheme he was a very good traveler. He went everywhere as many times as he wanted to and I wonder if one day he was just in that area and this could’ve been something he did. Obviously, this is pure speculation. It’s just a scary resemblance to the cases that he’s been convicted of but another point is that he has links to Texas killing fields, which are another rabbit hole within themselves.
