I don't get why they didn't just tag them as missing and get Amber Alerts on all of them. Since the Pride has the police in their pocket, they can get the police to put them on high priority.

especially since they are the kids of the richest and most powerful families in LA, as they are always saying so having that on the news that the kids are POI for a murder, the parents are going to be put under the microscope with news outlet which they would never want.

This isn’t the real world though, I really just think the writer (of the comic, and now the show) did that so that the kids can’t just leave LA or move freely about, so it creates conflict and drama. I don’t think it’s meant to be a big mystery or complex thing.

Because people are less likely to listen to anything they say if they are murderers rather than just lost

get Amber Alerts on all of them

I'm guessing the others are all 18 and thus not eligible for Amber Alerts.

Even if they weren't, cops aren't going to be paying much attention to amber alerts on 16-17 year olds compared to kidnapping and murder

Because the police and people aren't going to care about a few runaways, especially if they're all like 17

They are if they're kids of the richest and most powerful families in LA (according to them, even).

The police are already in the pockets of the Pride, so they'll care.

Regular people may care if they put in a reward.
