I WOULD say “call the police and report him missing” as this is absolutely the scenario for it, but… well, that ain’t actually gonna help for shit, is it?
That is what she should’ve done as soon as he wasn’t answering for an extended period of time. I’m not victim blaming, I’m just making sure everyone understands how important time is on missing persons. People get abducted at airports. It happens. There has been a lot of propaganda over the last few years (moreso back in 2020) about how we need to save our children that really over dramatized a lot of aspects of human trafficking, but it is still a very real thing that does happen and it does happen at airports as well. But even if it that wasn’t the concern, when someone is missing report them as missing.
In the Netherlands someone can only go missing if there has been no contact for 24h or there is a sign/some evidence of something bad happening. Police could easily say “well, maybe his phone died, try again tomorrow” but I don’t if the protocol is similar in the US.

It is an extremely common misconception that you must wait 24 hours in the US. There is no such rule.
more likely to get him shot at this point
