"Russell is too old to be the subject of an Amber Alert, but her family is questioning why no Ashanti Alert was issued in this case.

An Ashanti Alert deals with critical missing adult cases and became a law in 2018"

Anyone ever heard of this before?

It is never going to have the coordination and urgency of the Amber Alert system. A missing adult is just entirely different, and that is evident in how the Ashanti Alert system has been implemented across the country:

Ashanti Alert Act National Notification System

Overview

Adult missing person alert criteria will vary from state to state and by jurisdiction. The reporting and alert processes are operated independently by the states, territories, and tribes. In all instances, the reporting of a missing adult requires law enforcement involvement and an investigation.

IN ALL CASES, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY to report a missing person and to determine if the circumstances meet the state/territory or tribal criteria for an adult missing person alert.

The National Ashanti Alert Network does not accept reports of missing adults, but is a link to the state, territorial, and tribal area to share missing adult information to assist in the location and investigation of that individual.
