CLARK COUNTY, Ind. — A statewide Silver Alert for a man missing from southern Indiana was canceled late Tuesday morning.
The Clark County Sheriff's Department had been investigating the disappearance of 75-year-old Gregory Albers.
A Silver Alert was issued around 10:30 p.m. Monday and canceled around 11 a.m. Tuesday. No further information was immediately available.
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 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.
