INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Metropolitan Police are asking the public for help finding a missing Indianapolis woman.
Alexis Knight, 23, was last seen June 15 in the 1500 block of Country Club Road. Police believe she may be in danger and in need of medical attention.
She is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall, 138 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone who locates Knight is asked to call 911 immediately.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the IMPD Missing Persons Unit at 317-327-6160 or contact Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS (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.
