837-F-2 - Missing Adults.

§  837-f-2. Missing adults. In the event that a police agency receives
  a report that an adult person is missing from  his  or  her  normal  and
  ordinary  place  of residence and whose whereabouts cannot be determined
  by an individual whose relationship with such adult person  would  place
  such  individual  in  a  position  to  have  knowledge  of  his  or  her
  whereabouts, and that such missing adult person has a proven disability,
  or may be in physical danger, or is missing after a catastrophe, or  may
  have  disappeared involuntarily, or is missing under circumstances where
  there is a reasonable concern for his or her safety;  and  such  missing
  adult  person  does  not  qualify  as either a missing child pursuant to
  section eight hundred thirty-seven-e of this  article  or  a  vulnerable
  adult  pursuant  to  section  eight  hundred  thirty-seven-f-1  of  this
  article, the police agency shall collect information necessary  to  file
  an  electronic  report  regarding  the  missing  adult  person  with the
  national crime information center register and  submit  such  electronic
  report to the national crime information center register.
The  division  shall  transmit  the report of the missing adult to the
  National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)  within  thirty
  days  after  entry  of  a  report  of  a missing adult into the register
  whenever circumstances  indicate  that  the  missing  adult  may  be  at
  immediate  risk  of  death  or  injury,  or  may  be a match to a record
  maintained in the NamUs unidentified  person  database  and  within  one
  hundred eighty days in any other case.
