What could happen if you find body and you call 911? As my tax professor used to say, no good deed goes unpunished. Sometimes doing the right thing is not the right thing. Sometimes the police might consider that you're now a suspect because this has been a missing person. So, what do you do? Do you call your lawyer? Do you let your lawyer report it? Sometimes you could. That's been known to happen when somebody's found evidence of a certain crime. A lawyer can report it without disclosing your identity. If you happen upon a situation like that and you don't know what to do, it would be a good idea to call a lawyer before you call the police.
