Posted — UpdatedGOLDSBORO, N.C. — The North Carolina Center for Missing Persons canceled a Silver Alert early Thursday for a man who went missing Wednesday.

Developed in 2007, Silver Alert is a system to quickly notify the public about missing endangered adults who suffer from dementia or other cognitive impairments, such as Alzheimer's disease.
