SYRACUSE, Ind. — A statewide Silver Alert was canceled Tuesday for a teenage girl reported missing from Kosciusko County.
Police in Syracuse, Indiana, had been investigating the disappearance of 16-year-old Elizabeth Walters, who was last seen Sunday, June 5, just before 10 p.m.
On June 14, the Silver Alert for Walters was canceled. No other information was immediately available.
Syracuse is about 150 miles north of Indianapolis.
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.
