The Independent Office of Police Conduct is now looking into the handling of the case.
In a statement, the Met said officers were called to an address in Clarendon Road, Croydon, to concerns over the welfare of a woman.
Cops and London Ambulance Service attended the address and spoke to the woman, but she said she did not want help and left.
It was only later that the woman was identified as missing Owami.

The force said its professional standards body was consulted and is not investigating the officers.
Scotland Yard said: “The interaction recorded on the officers’ body-worn video has been viewed by members of the Independent Advisory Group and Owami’s family to ensure openness and transparency.”
The IOPC said: “We can confirm that we received a referral on August 5 from the Metropolitan Police Service in relation to contact officers had with Owami Davies in Croydon on July 6, after she had been reported missing to Essex Police.
“We are currently assessing the available information to determine what further action may be required.”
A missing person case was opened by cops following Owami’s disappearance.
Two men from Croydon have since been arrested on suspicion of murder and three others on suspicion of kidnap.
All five between the ages of 23 and 32 have since been released on bail.
Officers have downloaded around 50,000 hours of CCTV to investigate the mystery and have trawled through 10,000 hours already.
‘PRINCESS’
The force issued a fresh appeal at the start of the week, saying Ms Davies could be in Croydon and “in need of help”.
Owami had holidays booked with her mother and brothers to Spain and Disneyland Paris.
She is nicknamed “Princess” because of her love of Disney.
The nursing student is said to have been “really happy” with only two months left of her course at university.
She is interested in doing research on diseases after working in A&E during the Covid pandemic.
Owami has secured a job at Guy’s and St Thomas’s health trust in London upon her graduation.
The young woman’s mum, Nicol Davies, 46, is distraught with her daughter missing.
She said: “I sit here as a desperate mother at the mercy of anyone that knows or heard something to help me find my baby, that’s all I’m asking, just help to find her.
“Or her, if she’s somewhere and hears this, to please come home. We miss her so much, her brothers and myself miss her, need her.

“We are not complete, we just want her to come home and, again, if she is listening she should know she’s not in trouble.”
On Thursday, British Transport Police tweeted that the 24-year-old could still regularly be taking trains, may appear dazed or confused and may be seeking to engage with women travelling alone.

I Refused To Play “Boy Games,” Until I Realized I Was Missing Out
I remember, quite vividly, when Halo first came out–though I suspect it might be for an entirely different reason than you.
Prior to the release of Halo: Combat Evolved, I had the luxury of never once considering how my gender impacted my favorite hobby, which is both beautiful and hilarious in retrospect. I, quite simply, played video games. That’s how it should be, right?
I played everything from Harvest Moon and Banjo-Kazooie to MediEvil and Diablo. I longed more than anything to be like Tifa Lockhart and Lara Croft and slept in Pokemon pajamas under a Pokemon comforter in my Pokemon-themed room. As far as I was concerned, I loved video games not just as much as the next person, but even more so. However, around the time Halo came out was also when I learned there was a secret gaming hierarchy–and my position on it was significantly lower than I would have presumed.
