INDIANAPOLIS — A statewide Silver Alert has been canceled for a missing 17-year-old girl from Indianapolis.
IMPD said Alexia Forte was located the afternoon of April 26.
A Silver Alert was issued for her after she had been missing since Sunday, April 24 around 4:30 a.m.
Police had put out Forte's description, along with a description of her car, as they were concerned she could have been in extreme danger or requiring medical assistance.
However, the Silver Alert was canceled April 26 after she was located.
IMPD said no other additional information is being released.
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.
