RICHMOND, Ind. — Police have canceled a Silver Alert for a 14-year-old girl from Richmond after she was found safe Thursday.
The Silver Alert went into effect Monday after Courtney Tout had last been seen oct. 26.
Police said she was believed to be in extreme danger and may have required medical assistance.
Anyone with information on Tout's whereabouts is asked to call the Richmond Police Department at 765-983-7247 or 911.
Richmond is roughly 70 miles east of downtown Indianapolis.
Amber Alerts vs. Silver Alerts: 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 said initially, the family did not believe Amiah to be in danger, only that they hadn't seen her.
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.
