Police have issued a Silver Alert for a missing 12-year-old Greenwich boy.
Pierce Horton was last seen in Greenwich on Monday.
Police do not have a description of the clothing he was wearing, but said he might be wearing flip-flops.
In the past, Lt. Paul Vance, of Connecticut State Police, explained the difference between Amber Alerts and Silver Alerts.

Amber Alerts are issued when there is an “absolute emergency” involving a child under the age of 18 in which his or her life is in danger.
A Silver Alert is used for any child who is missing, missing people over the age of 65 and anyone other missing people who might have a medical condition requiring medication.
If you have any information on Horton, call Greenwich police at 203-622-8003
