State police are seeking information about Haddam resident John Vickers, 77, who is the subject of an active Silver Alert. Police say he may be in a black 2006 Honda CR-V with Connecticut registration 849NUF and are asking anyone with information about Vickers or the vehicle to contact Troop F in Westbrook, according to NBC Connecticut.
CT Missing People reported that Vickers was last seen on October 7. Separately, that account said family members told police his mobile device had not been active since late September; the phone inactivity does not establish when he was last seen.
Glastonbury police reported two camera detections of the CR-V to State Police Troop F on October 7, according to Newport Dispatch. The vehicle was recorded at 9:27 a.m. near Hebron Avenue and the Route 2 overpass, and at 12:10 p.m. near Hebron Avenue and Oak Street.
The camera detections do not establish who was driving. CT Missing People reported that investigators were still trying to determine Vickers’s whereabouts and develop a timeline surrounding his disappearance.
Who may qualify for Silver Alert assistance?
Materials from the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection reproduce state law allowing clearinghouse assistance to locate missing people who are 18 or older and have a mental impairment, or who are 65 or older. The cited language describes eligibility for that assistance; it does not, by itself, lay out every step for issuing an alert.
