What is the first place to look for a missing person?

• A. Where the person was last seen
• B. At the person's home
• C. At the person's workplace
• D. At the hospital

Answer: (A)

The starting point is the area where the person was last seen, including the time they were last observed. This anchor gives you the most reliable clue about where they might have gone and which directions to search first. From that location you can organize a methodical search, expanding outward to cover nearby routes, buildings, and outdoor areas where they could have moved or taken shelter. While other places like home, work, or a hospital may eventually need to be checked, they’re prioritized after establishing the last-seen point because that moment provides the best information to guide the initial search and avoid wasting time.
