How Silver Alerts Work
Silver Alerts exist specifically for cases like this. The CHP activates one when an elderly or developmentally or cognitively impaired person goes missing and is determined to be at risk, according to MyNewsLA. The alert in this case spans six counties.
Riverside County has seen a string of similar cases in recent months. In September, a Silver Alert covered Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties for 81-year-old Ray Elliott, who was last seen in the unincorporated Yucca Valley area of San Bernardino County, per the same outlet's report. Separately, Patch reported that a Silver Alert was issued for Mariam Espinoza, 89, and Alexander Serrano, 63, after they went missing in Hemet, last seen around 3:30 p.m. and believed to be traveling on foot. In that case, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department sought public assistance in locating the pair.
What Comes Next
For now, the search for Lara continues, with his last confirmed sighting still centered on the Moreno Valley intersection named in the alert. No additional details about his condition or possible destination have been released. Residents across the six-county alert area are being urged to stay alert and report any sightings directly to 9-1-1.
