She said her son does not have tattoos or other distinguishing marks and the last time she saw him he had a mustache and small beard.

“Before he disappeared, he spent a lot of time in the gym,” Debbie Burke said. “He’s very physically active.”

“He has always maintained contact with friends or family, so not hearing anything is concerning,” said Debbie Burke. “We just want him to call someone.”

I live around here and I have not heard about this case at all. Indiana has been all about Silver Alerts these days, but this hasn't been shared even by the main TV stations that I know of.

I suppose he didn't get a silver alert because he is not in need of medical attention or such that puts him at immediate danger.
