Michael Cotter was last seen at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, said the California Highway Patrol, which issued the alerts on behalf of the Whittier Police Department.
Cotter is white, 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 185 pounds, has gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark gray long-sleeved shirt, dark gray pants and might be driving a gray 2021 Kia Forte with a California license plate 8VOPO21.

The Silver Alert program was established by the CHP to issue and coordinate alerts involving the unexplained or suspicious disappearance of elderly, developmentally disabled or cognitively impaired individuals.
