KNOX, Indiana — A statewide Silver Alert has been canceled for a 66-year-old man missing from Starke County.
The Knox Police Department said Victor Greene was last seen around noon Thursday, Feb. 23 in Knox, Indiana, which is roughly 120 miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis.
The Silver Alert was issued Thursday around 11:30 p.m. and was canceled Friday shortly before 2:30 p.m.
Police have not shared the reason behind the cancellation.
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.
