Hmmmm, it doesn't say where he went, or how long he was gone... sigh.

What does "critically" missing mean? Did they have a fight,was she not well, are they afraid she may be suicidal?

I like and rely on those little details.

In Maryland they are classified as "critically missing" due to age or medical condition (i.e. mental health
issue or physical disease or impairment that requires medication or medical care they may not have available to them while missing.)

Sorry to quote myself; snipped for focus (the article previously behind paywall)
They've updated the article so it is visible (or I'm just challenged today): "“Her boyfriend told troopers he last saw her about 4 p.m. yesterday (Sunday), when he left their shared residence. When he returned (at 1 a.m. Monday), Ms. Mahiga was missing, although personal items she would normally take with her were still in the home,” outlined Tfc. John Wildman, who is assigned to MSP's Criminal Investigation Unit."

And she was last seen in a "puffy black Michael Kors jacket." Why was she wearing her winter coat when he left "their shared residence"? Was she just arriving, or was she also planning to go out? Did he report her missing when he got home at 1 am, or did he wait until the a.m.?

I know LE is getting the answers to my questions and many more that they have.
