Little Rock police have activated a Silver Alert for a 23-year-old deafblind woman who went missing from a doctor's office on Kanis Road Friday afternoon. Lisa Squier was last seen around 2:30 p.m., and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward immediately.
According to THV11, the Little Rock Police Department described Squier as a white woman standing 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 135 pounds, with long brown hair and blue eyes. She was reported last seen at the medical office on Kanis Road in Little Rock, and no further details about her appearance at the time or her direction of travel have been released.
Police are asking anyone with information on Squier's whereabouts to call (501) 371-4829. The outlet's report does not indicate whether she has since been located or whether the alert remains active.
How Arkansas's Silver Alert System Works
Arkansas's Silver Alert Program exists to speed up the search for vulnerable people who go missing. The state describes the initiative as a way to get critical information to authorities quickly so they can locate and safely recover people and reunite them with loved ones or caregivers, according to the Arkansas Department of Public Safety, which notes that time is of the essence for individuals who wander off or become lost.
The state's crime information center also compiles monthly data on missing and unidentified persons. Reports on active and expired cases are available upon request, according to the Arkansas Department of Public Safety's crime information center.
Lawmakers Sought to Expand Alert Options
Arkansas legislators have previously looked at broadening the alert system beyond its current scope. House Bill 1523, filed in the 2025 legislative session, proposed establishing a statewide Arkansas Silver Alert System to be administered by the Division of Arkansas State Police, according to a bill document filed with the Arkansas General Assembly.
That proposal would have let the state police set the criteria for when a statewide alert gets triggered for missing seniors and adults with cognitive disorders, per the bill text. It also called for a separate Missing Endangered Adult Advisory System, aimed at adults who do not meet the criteria for a Silver Alert but who have certain disabilities or disorders, according to the legislation.
For now, the search for Squier continues in Little Rock, with police relying on the public's eyes and ears to help bring her home. Anyone with information has been asked to reach out to investigators directly.
