INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is asking for help finding a man who investigators believe may be in danger after possibly being abducted on the northeast of Indianapolis.

Cowherd was last seen Friday, May 6, 2022, near the 4000 block of Wittfield Street, which is located southeast of 42nd Street and North Post Road.
IMPD detectives believe Cowherd may have been abducted at around 10 p.m. Friday and is in danger.

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.
