I think it was the only way to get LE to actively search for a missing adult.
Silver alert still makes no sense to me. An Amber Alert is for a minor child taken by vehicle, and listing the description and/or plate of that vehicle. Silver alerts vary by state, but are almost exclusively for 65+ years, involve cognitive decline of some sort, and that person has fled on their own volition.
I’m going to guess that missing adult cases far outnumber that of abducted children. If the public were to be alerted in all missing adult cases, it could water down the public response. No easy answers.
The sad story of Jennifer is played out all too often, at every socioeconomic level. My heart aches for these kids, who have clearly lived through difficulty already, and for the new level of loss and grief.
