79. I'm suspicious about their saying the call was "anonymous."

It’s one thing to not reveal the caller’s ID to a possible perpetrator. But wouldn’t the agency have a protocol for ensuring that reports have some credibility before investing resources in investigating? Wouldn’t they ask for the caller’s name and contact info, so at the very least they could go back and ask questions?
