Operation 100 News has confirmed that Mr. Collins has been located. A person driving in the area of 95th Street and Hardy reported a Honda Civic, with the same license plate, driving slowly on 95th Street. The driver followed the slow moving car until police could catch up. Officers are in contact with him and are working to reunite him with his family. He is currently being evaluated by Johnson County Med-Act, checking to make sure he is OK.

Operation 100 News was the ONLY Kansas City area media to report the Silver Alert when it was active. See below this report for a sampling of our tweets.
