ALEXANDRIA, Ind. — A statewide Silver Alert has been canceled for a woman missing from Anderson.

Police did not share additional information about the reason for canceling the Silver Alert for 49-year-old Michelle Marlow, who was last seen Thursday, March 7 in Anderson.

The Silver Alert was issued Sunday, March 10 around 10:15 p.m. and was canceled Monday, March 11 at 12:15 p.m.

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.
