Which type of call is specifically related to individuals who cannot be located?

Missing person
Domestic trouble
Robbery
Traffic accident

The correct answer is: Missing person

A call about a missing person specifically pertains to cases involving individuals who cannot be located or have disappeared under circumstances that raise concern for their safety. This type of call is critical for law enforcement and emergency services, as it often requires an immediate response to search for the individual, gather information from family or friends, and potentially utilize community resources. In contrast, domestic trouble involves conflicts between individuals, often within households, and does not inherently concern a person's location. Robbery is an emergency situation involving theft, but it does not relate to individuals being unaccounted for. A traffic accident may involve injuries or property damage, but it primarily addresses incidents on the road rather than the status of a person’s whereabouts. Therefore, the missing person call stands out as the one that specifically identifies the need to locate someone who is unaccounted for.
