First, I wouldn't be so sure it was the police that ticketed the vehicle.
Many cities have a separate parking enforcement department, and they do the
ticketing.

A parking enforcement person wouldn't necessarily think to run the plate.
Now you would think a passing police cruiser would figure out this vehicle
matches the description of one in a missing person's report, but a Benz ML
is a pretty common vehicle in some places (it could have been a G wagon, but
that's must less likely).

Finally, where do you get he was in plain view? He was found in the back
seat, chances are the windows were tinted, it took three days for a passerby
to notice. And even then all they could see was a foot. That suggests some
limo tint on the rear windows, again not unusual especially for a Benz SUV.
