Silver Alert for missing Greenfield man canceled

GREENFIELD, Ind. – A statewide Silver Alert has been lifted for a missing Greenfield man.

Raymond Schalk, 90, was last seen at 3 p.m. on Monday, May 20, in Greenfield, driving a red 2005 Ford Focus with an Indiana license plate.

Schalk was described as six feet tall, weighing 180 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes.

For more information about the cancellation, contact the Greenfield Police Department at 317-477-4400.

There are certain standards that a person’s disappearance must meet for police to issue an Amber Alert or a Silver Alert.

Amber Alerts are aimed at children under 18 who are believed to have been abducted and are in danger. Police also need information about a suspect and their car to issue an Amber Alert.

Silver Alerts apply to missing and endangered adults or children. They are much more common in missing people. Just last year, Silver Alert standards were expanded to include children.

In both situations, these warnings must be issued by the police.
