INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is asking the public for help finding a missing 24-year-old woman.
Angel Smith was last seen Wednesday, Oct. 2 in the 7700 block of Greighton Court, which is near East Stop 11 Road and Madison Avenue on Indy's south side. She is described as 5'6" tall, weighs 160 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes.
IMPD says she may be in need of medical attention.
Anyone with information on Smith's whereabouts is asked to call 911, the IMPD Missing Persons Unit at 317-327-6160 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
Amber Alert vs. Silver Alert: What's the difference?
There are specific standards a person's disappearance must meet in order for police to declare an Amber Alert or a Silver Alert.
Amber Alerts are for children under the age of 18 who are believed to have been abducted and in danger. Police also need to have information about a suspect and their car to issue an Amber Alert.
Silver Alerts are for missing and endangered adults or children. They are much more common for missing people. It was not until last year when the standards for Silver Alerts were expanded to include children.
In both situations, these alerts must be issued by police.
