Authorities locate missing woman in Placer County following Silver Alert

Authorities say they have located a woman who went missing in Placer County, prompting a Silver Alert.

The California Highway Patrol issued the alert for the 70-year-old woman, who was last seen Wednesday afternoon near Woodgate and Sterling Pointe courts in Loomis, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.

In an update just after midnight, CHP officials canceled the Silver Alert and said the woman had been located late Thursday. No other details were given.

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.
