Rocky Mount police have issued a Silver Alert for a missing Rocky Mount man, Stephen Craig Miller, whose vehicle was found Monday morning underwater.

Residents are asked to be on the lookout for Miller, 70, who, authorities say, has cognitive impairments. Miller is described as a white male approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall with brown hair and brown eyes. Miller was last seen at his residence on Saturday.

Cpl. Brad Summerlin, public information officer of the Rocky Mount Police Department, said authorities are looking for Miller. Summerlin added investigators don’t suspect any foul play involved.

“We’re currently trying to chase down any leads or any possible locations of where he could be,” Summerlin said.

Authorities said police responded about 7:44 a.m. Monday to a suspicious event at the main boat ramp at Battle Park Drive where officers found a 2003 burgundy Ford Ranger pickup truck submerged in the Tar River. According to a release, the Rocky Mount Fire Department’s swift water rescue team responded and helped in the removal of the unoccupied vehicle from the river, which investigators later determined belongs to Miller.

Not sure why they canceled the Silver Alert if he has not been found.

Not sure why they canceled the Silver Alert if he has not been found.

I'm not sure but I think the Silver Alert is only for people who have health issues such as dementia or a disability where they are endangered while walking around on their own. After they found his truck and processed it they may have found evidence indicating he was in the river and no longer walking around. Also, after a certain amount of time passes, survival in the river in January is very unlikely. Sadly, I cannot find any updates saying they found him.
