Help PLEASE – Can Google track RCS messages for a missing person?

Hi, my girlfriend is missing (Stratford, ON, Canada). I, her family and the police are looking for her. She had been missing for two hours now. I can see that she is reading her messages through RCS. She has a Pixel 6a. Is there any way to track her? I can put whoever can help in touch with the police. She is very suicidal and already attempted twice.

Please help. We are desperate to find her. Any advice welcome.

    This sounds like a story being used as cover for advice on stalking someone.

    I don’t think Google is likely to be responsive to anyone except the police.

    Unfortunately your request here is indistinguishable from someone with less positive motivations.

    Life is so overwhelmingly prison-like that even the people who claim to love you try to track you down and keep you from escaping. Lobsters dragging each other back into the pot. We should be allowed to be finished with such a horrible existence. We have been trained to value staying alive by parasites who benefit from our labor.

    I don't know how to edit posts on here, but they found her thankfully. Take care everyone.
