After a citywide search that had locals on high alert, two visiting seniors who disappeared in Plano have been found. Doris White, 67, and her companion, 80-year-old Gibson, were located in Allen, Texas, confirmed the Plano Police Department. "The couple has been located in Allen, TX living their best lives," the Plano Texas Police Department posted. "All is good, thank you, everyone, for sharing!"
