calamity missing
The District of Calamity (continuing series)
The latest from America's most dysfunctional municipal gov't is that four police detectives with an open case on a man possibly seriously beaten and in the hospital failed to match up a missing-relative report on him for more than a month. (Bonus: The "ombudsman" that finally contacted the man's family was, er, the office of Councilman Marion Barry.) It was the worst of three incidents this year in which the gov't failed to notify relatives when missing persons showed up. Washington Post
