Warsaw Police Cancel Silver Alert for Missing Woman Melanie Wallen Found Safe

The Warsaw Police Department has officially canceled the Silver Alert issued for Melanie Wallen, a 52-year-old woman who had been missing since October 28. Fox59 reported that the alert, which was instated yesterday, was lifted after Wallen was found safe. The circumstances of Wallen’s brief disappearance and how she was located remain undisclosed by authorities.

There was a notable communal sigh of relief to heard across Kosciusko County as news of her safety spread. In the original alert, as detailed byFox59, Wallen was described as a white female weighing 100 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and standing at 5 feet 7 inches tall. The police declared their concerns about her being in extreme danger and possibly needing medical assistance, prompting the public to come forward with any information that could aid in her return.

The Silver Alert program, a broadcast system to rapidly disseminate information about missing persons, especially those with mental or developmental disabilities, serves to quickly engage the community in the search for the missing. The Indiana Silver Alert Criteria states that the individual in question must be believed to be incapable of returning safely without assistance. According toWISH-TV, this was indeed the case for Wallen, who hails from Warsaw, approximately 128 miles north of Indianapolis.

Details are scant on Wallen’s whereabouts during her absence, as the Warsaw Police Department has not released further information subsequent to the cancellation. However, they were actively seeking to rapidly ensure her safe return, underscored by the Silver Alert that was issued and later canceled within the same day, asWTHRmentioned.
