How Do Police Determine What Missing Persons They'll Look For?

Two missing person cases in our area prompted us to take a look at how police decide what cases they'll devote their time to. Authorities began searching for 65-year-old Michael Chase after he disappeared after his appointment at the Salem VA Medical Center. He was found safe earlier today in Christiansburg.

Things were a little different for authorities in Bedford and Botetourt Counties. Their search for 19-year-old Samantha Bittler ended tragically. Bittler was thrown from her car and died from head, chest and neck trauma. She was found nine days after her family began their search for her.
