Dallas – A missing 72-year-old man has been found by the Dallas Police on Monday morning, while a family in Red Oak is seeking assistance to locate their missing 21-year-old son, Jose Amador, who has a disability that affects his mental capacity.
The elderly man, who has not been publicly named, was reported missing after being last seen around 11 p.m. on May 4 in the 4400 block of Cowan Avenue. Authorities canvassed the area and confirmed that he was located safe on Monday morning, providing relief to his family and the community.
Meanwhile, Jose Amador was last seen on foot near the 200 block of Spring Circle Road in Red Oak on Monday evening. His family has raised concerns for his safety, as he is known to have the mental capacity of a 10-year-old due to his disability. Before leaving, Amador wrote a note indicating that he intended to go to Mexico. He does not have a driver’s license and may still be on foot or potentially could have accepted a ride from someone.
The local sheriff’s department has classified Amador’s disappearance as a credible threat to his health and safety, underscoring the urgency of finding him. He is described as being 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approximately 140 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair styled in a buzz cut. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a gray hoodie, light blue pants, and black Adidas shoes. Additionally, he has two noticeable scars—one above his right eye and another at the center of his forehead.
The family is urging anyone with information regarding Amador’s whereabouts to reach out to authorities by calling 911 or the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office at 972-937-6060. Community members are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any sightings that could aid in his safe return.
This search comes shortly after a CLEAR Alert was issued for a previously missing 30-year-old man in the Dallas area, which has since been canceled after the individual was located by the Mansfield Police. However, the community continues to remain on high alert as the number of missing persons raises concerns regarding safety.
In related news, the body of 21-year-old Marquise Ladell Browner, who was reported missing since December 18 from Fort Worth, was recently found in Lake Arlington. His body was discovered on January 3 after witnesses reported seeing someone floating in the lake. Browner did not have identification on him at the time and was pronounced dead at the scene. His family last saw him when his mother dropped him off for work at a FedEx facility, where he never clocked in for his shift.
As of now, the Tarrant County Medical Examiner is working to determine the cause and manner of Browner’s death, with investigations ongoing. Authorities believe Browner may have been in the lake for several weeks based on the condition of his body; however, investigations have not revealed any obvious signs of trauma.
The recent events surrounding the case of Jose Amador and previously missing individuals highlight the dangers and concerns surrounding vulnerable members of the community. Authorities continue to encourage public engagement in helping to locate missing persons to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
