Missouri – Yesterday, January 18th, a state-wide Emergency Alert was sent to the public reading “GOTHAM CITY MO PURPLE/GREEN 1978 DODGE 3700GT MO UKIDME”. This message turned out to be sent in error by those who were testing the system.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol released this information, saying: “Today, a routine test of Missouri’s Blue Alert system was inadvertently sent to wireless devices statewide. The Patrol regularly tests the Blue Alert system to ensure it works properly when needed. During the test, an option was incorrectly selected, allowing the message to be disseminated to the public. There is no Emergency Alert at this time. The Patrol appreciates the public’s understanding and support of the Emergency Alert program.
