You seem to have real admiration for dictatorships like China.

What's the specific law in China that requires the reporting of a
missing person? Or are you just blowing smoke out your ears?

In the United States, the Fifth Amendment states that individuals cannot
be forced to incriminate themselves. You want to do away with that?

Lying to the police is a crime, for which Ms. Anthony was convicted. Not
cooperating with the police - refusing to talk to the police about a
crime - is not a crime, *especially* if you might be a subject of interest.
