Refer the woman to the domestic abuse shelter for counseling and services and close the case. B) The man has left the scene and his current whereabouts are unknown. Because of this, the case is not easily solvable. Keep the case open but suspend active investigation duties. Refer the woman to the domestic abuse shelter for counseling and services.
