The Floyd County Sheriff's Office issued a Silver Alert for 74-year-old Floyds Knobs resident James Goodson, who deputies said was believed to be in extreme danger and might need medical assistance. Goodson was last seen Thursday in the southern Indiana community.
The Indiana Silver Alert was issued by the Floyd County Sheriff's Office, according to WISH-TV. Goodson is described as standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 192 pounds, with a bald head and blue eyes. Floyds Knobs sits roughly 115 miles south of Indianapolis, putting the search squarely in southern Indiana.
What Goodson Was Last Seen Driving
Investigators believe Goodson was traveling in a silver 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander with Indiana license plate 443TXH. WISH-TV's report says the Silver Alert was canceled, but does not specify when; it also does not say whether Goodson or the vehicle was found.
Deputies have emphasized the urgency of locating Goodson, noting he may need medical assistance and is considered to be in extreme danger. Anyone who spots him, his vehicle, or has any information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or reach the Floyd County Sheriff's Office directly at 812-948-5400.
Who Can Qualify for a Silver Alert
The Indiana Silver Alert program says alerts may be issued for a missing endangered adult or child, a high-risk missing person, or someone with a mental impairment validated by a credible medical authority. Those criteria do not establish which category applied to Goodson.
