Missing 79-year-old Sacramento County woman located after CHP activates Silver Alert
An Arden Arcade woman was located and safe after the California Highway Patrol activated a Silver Alert on Saturday for her disappearance because the elderly woman was considered at risk due to mental health issues.
The 79-year-old was last seen about 9 p.m. Friday near her home in areas of Darwin Street and El Camino Avenue in Arden Arcade, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said. The Sheriff’s Office said just before noon that the woman was found.
A missing person must meet certain criteria before the CHP activates a Silver Alert as requested by a local law enforcement agency. The victim must be at least 65 years old, may be in danger due to health or suspicious reasons and the investigating agency has exhausted all its resources.
