In the state of Connecticut, a Silver Alert usually goes into effect for missing people who suffer from some kind of mental or behavioral impairment. It is also issued for elderly missing people. This could mean that the missing teen is operating under diminished cognitive abilities, or she could be diagnosed with any number of conditions (i.e. autism, Down syndrome, etc). Bridgette Bessette’s presumed medical condition isn’t being shared in the media, so it’s probably not of any consequence to the public.
