The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed that 89-year-old James Garren from Vonore, who was missing, has been found safe. A Silver Alert for him was issued on Sunday, according to WVLT.
Garren was reported missing, and a Silver Alert was issued because of his medical condition, which could make it unsafe for him to return home alone. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said he might have been traveling in a 2007 white Cadillac Escalade EXT and shared his physical description. They asked anyone who sees him to call the authorities, as reported by WBIR.
Garren was found safely after being reported missing, but details of how he was found have not been released. Silver Alerts in Tennessee help share information quickly, which can assist in locating missing people. About 400 people are reported missing in Tennessee each year, as mentioned by WATE. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the alert system helped in Garren’s return, and authorities continue to ask the public to stay alert and report information when someone is missing.
