TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — A statewide Silver Alert has been canceled for a 67-year-old man from Terre Haute.

The Terre Haute Police Department confirmed Stanley Crague was located and is safe.

He was last seen Wednesday, July 20 at 8:30 a.m.

The Silver Alert was issued Friday shortly after 2 p.m. and was canceled Tuesday around noon. 

Terre Haute is roughly 75 miles southwest of downtown 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.
