Under Virginia State Police's own alert procedures, law enforcement agencies must confer with the Virginia Missing Persons Clearinghouse and State Police before activating a local alert like this one, according to the Virginia State Police alert site.

Not the First Such Alert in Hopewell
This is not the first time Hopewell has seen a Critically Missing Adult alert issued on behalf of its police department. Virginia State Police previously issued one for Nicholas Glass, who was last seen at 10 p.m. on a Friday in the 100 block of South Marion Avenue and was believed to be on foot, according to WTKR. Authorities in that case also said Glass's disappearance posed a credible threat to his health and safety, and described him as six feet two inches tall, 300 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes, possibly wearing long pants. That report asked anyone who saw Glass or knew his whereabouts to call the same Hopewell police line listed for McFall's case.
