Temple University is, in my opinion, a safe place. The surrounding neighborhoods, you have a different story.

The first 24 to 48 hours are critical in a missing persons case. There's a couple of reasons for that. If somebody is hurt or injured and that's the case, you have to find them within that period of time so that you can administer medical care.

The other reason why it's critical is the more time that ticks on, in the modern era, there are too many ways for a human being to reach out to a family member to let them know that they're okay. Her dad and her family were looking for her and trying to text her and see where she was, and she wasn't responding. That starts to at least indicate to investigators that foul play may be the situation.

Temple University is, in my opinion, a safe place. The normal kind of crime you're talking about there from a prosecutor's perspective are, for the most part, petty crimes. The surrounding neighborhoods, you have a different story. Crime in Philadelphia is obviously a problem. The murder rate is very high. It's one of the highest in the country.
