A Silver Alert is active across four Southern California counties and lists a last-seen location near Lee Road and Mack Street in Mead Valley. The bulletin was posted just after midnight Thursday.
According to the alert shared by CHP - Alerts
, the alert lists a last-seen location near Lee Road and Mack Street in Mead Valley, Riverside County. The notice covers Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles counties and instructs anyone who spots the person to call 9-1-1 rather than contact the agencies directly.
California's Silver Alert system, which CHP established to coordinate notifications for unexplained or suspicious disappearances involving elderly, developmentally disabled or cognitively impaired individuals, is meant to mobilize the public quickly when someone vulnerable goes missing under circumstances that raise concern, according to Patch.
Mead Valley Has Seen This Before
This is not the first Silver Alert tied to the unincorporated Riverside County community. A year earlier, a Silver Alert was issued for 68-year-old Fabiola Corrales-Juarez after she was reported missing from Mead Valley, last seen around 2 p.m. near West Highway 74 and Kimes Lane, per a report from mynewsla.com. In that case too, CHP issued the alert on behalf of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, and authorities believed Corrales-Juarez was also traveling on foot, with the public asked to call 911 with any information on her whereabouts.
A recent Silver Alert in the region ended with the missing person found. A 75-year-old woman, Sarah Lynn Eades, who went missing after last being seen near Indio Springs Drive and Vista Del Norte Road around 2:45 a.m. on a Wednesday, was found the following Thursday morning at an unspecified location, Patch reported. That alert had likewise been issued on behalf of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
Anyone who sees the person is urged to call 9-1-1 immediately.
