A Green Alert is active in Laurel County, Kentucky, for a 56-year-old military veteran who requires medication for post-traumatic stress disorder and manic depression. The man, identified in reports as Cristopher Hubbard, was last seen early Monday morning driving a maroon 2020 Chevrolet Malibu roughly 10 miles south of London on KY 770.
According to WBIR, the Laurel County Sheriff's Office issued the alert for the missing veteran, whose first name the station spells as Christopher. Other outlets covering the case, including WYMT, spell his first name Cristopher, and Hoodline could not independently confirm which spelling is correct ahead of publication.
Per the same account, Hubbard was last seen around 5:45 a.m. on Monday, November 9, in the area south of London. Deputies say his vehicle carries a Georgia license plate reading DHV1317, and they believe he may now be in Mississippi, according to the report.
Why Deputies Are Asking the Public for Help
The Laurel County Sheriff's Office says Green Alerts are issued for veterans considered to be at risk, the report notes. Hubbard's need for medication tied to PTSD and manic depression is central to why authorities moved quickly to notify the public.
Deputies are asking anyone with information about Hubbard's whereabouts to call the sheriff's office at (606) 864-6600 or the 911 dispatch center at (606) 878-7000, per the sheriff's office. As of this report, it remains unclear whether Hubbard has been located or whether the alert is still active.
