INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD Missing Persons Detectives are asking for the public's help in locating a 35-year-old man who was last seen Sunday on the city's southeast side.

According to police, Brandon Perry left in his truck and was pulling a trailer with his tools May 26 in the 9500 block of Vandergriff Road, near Interstate 74 and South Post Road.

Police said Perry's trailer was found Monday, May 27 in the 7200 block of East Thompson Road, which is approximately three miles southwest of where he was last seen.

Then, on Wednesday, May 29, police found his truck in the 5100 block of South Emerson Avenue, which is approximately five miles southwest from where he was last seen.

Perry is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 220 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information on Perry'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.
