GREENE COUNTY, Ind. — The Greene County Sheriff's Office is no longer searching for a missing man. 

Jeffrey Richards II, 41, was last seen on Saturday, Sept. 21 in Bloomfield, which is about 28 miles southwest of Bloomington.

On Sept. 22, the Green County Sheriff's Department said Richards had been found. 13News has reached out to the GCSO for more information.

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.
