What should you do if someone goes missing?

The first thing to do is call local law enforcement and report the case. Utah officials say there is no required waiting period to report a missing person. In an emergency, call 911.

  • Gender/sex.
  • Detailed physical description (including unique scars or tattoos).
  • Date of disappearance.
