NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind — Police canceled a Silver Alert in the search for a woman missing from northern Indiana.
North Manchester police were investigating the disappearance of 50-year-old Penelope Kelsey.
Kelsey had been missing from North Manchester since Thursday, Jan. 27 at 10 p.m. She was believed to be in extreme danger and possibly requiring medical assistance.
Police did not provide any additional details on how she was found.
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.
