A Silver Alert for an 89-year-old man and 85-year-old woman missing from a Durham home was canceled Sunday night.

Later Sunday, police in Mocksville saw the couple in a silver Chevrolet Impala that was being driven erratically. When police ran the car's license plate, it matched that of the McLeods' car.

Developed in 2007, Silver Alert is a system to quickly notify the public about missing endangered people who suffer from dementia or other cognitive impairments, such as Alzheimer's disease.
It also allows caregivers and nursing homes to report a person missing. In the past, only a family member could report an adult missing.
