From Alabama: ‘I want my momma’: Family of Montgomery woman missing since 2018 wants answers. Donna Michelle Calloway disappeared in 2018, per the article, though her “few details” Charley Project casefile has it as 2019 — probably because the police wouldn’t take the report till then. I’ll have to update her case.

Regarding Jessica Darling Dickson’s case file, specifically Jessica’s tattoo running down her spine: those 7 heart/star designs are actually a symbol called a Heartagram, made popular by the Finnish rock band HIM; it’s basically their logo. I’ve been a fan of the band for over 17 years, so I recognized it immediately. Maybe you could edit that into the ‘distinguishing characteristics’ section?

Also, the link to Jessica’s personal Facebook page is incorrect, it’s actually https://www.facebook.com/Darling2113; you have it as the “Help Find Jessica” page. 🙂
Done.
I don’t understand a police department not taking a missing person report in this day and age. The most important part of a police officers job is conducting patrols, and taking reports.
Reporting writing is important to document incidents thstctook place. It also provides documentation of what the agency is doing. Also, it identifies problem areas that need more attention.
Also, it very important when it comes to the use of force. It’s important to tell, what type of call you got. What you saw when you arrived at the incident. And what type of use of force you used.
So, delaying taking a report, is one way of cooking the books. This way you can, claim a reduced crime.problem.
I checked several online directories for information on Donna Calloway. One of them showed a bunch of phone numbers with the area code 334, for Montgomery, Alabama. However, one phone number had a 508 area code, which covers part of Massachusetts.
Yet, there was no record of her living in Massachusetts. She supposedly had a P.O. Box office n Bradenton, Florida.
Also, she was supposedly living in a single family townhouse at 1147 Bragg Street in Montgomery. Which appears to be close to Interstate- 65.
I would pass this along to the police. But, they were not concerned about her disappearance for over a year and two months.
I like that they wanted proof that she had a disability. I guess her sister words were not enough. Maybe, if they conducted a prompt investigation they could have verified that she was disabled.
I guess if you call them about someone being shot in the street, that you have to determine if they are alive or deceased before they come to see for themselves and establish a crime scene.
At the VA, we would have to gather all kinds of information in regards to a missing patient, including determining their diagnosis and whether they were a threat to themselves or others.
Then we would call our chief, and run what we had by him. If we had enough information then he would tell us to notify the hospital director for his authorization to notify the Chicago Police Departnent.
We would include the names of medical and if necessary psychiatric staff, and their opinions.
So, I would love the mayor and police chief to explain why it took them over a year to start to investigate her disappearance.
The article should have included interviews with the mayor and police chief. But, then like in Chicago, and the State of Illinois, the media does not challenge the political ruling class.
They would not point out that the emperor has no clothes.
