Reported missing — found in custody: A case from Porto Cristo

Answer

Why would someone be reported missing in Mallorca if they were actually in custody?

This can happen when family members and authorities are not informed quickly enough after a person is admitted to prison or detention. In Mallorca, a missing-person report may be filed if relatives have no contact and do not know where the person is. Delays in communication can create real concern, especially when the person is older or hard to reach.
