The Dallas community can breathe a sigh of relief as Willie James Weston, the subject of a recent critical missing person alert, has been found. The Dallas Police Department confirmed that Mr. Weston, who had been missing since June 21, was located safe. The announcement came after days of concerted efforts to track down the 80-year-old who is mute and was in need of assistance.

Weston was last reported being seen on foot in the 4100 block of Dela Field Lane, around 10:00 pm. Understanding the urgency, police asked for public assistance to find the black male, described as being 5'11", 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. According to the Dallas Police Department, during his disappearance, he was wearing a red and black shirt, blue jeans, and black Adidas shoes.

The Dallas Police Department, in a show of gratitude, extended their thanks to those who contributed to locating Mr. Weston. Not immediately available were the details of how Mr. Weston was found, but the fact that he was unharmed was emphasized by the authorities. This development underscores the impact that community involvement can have in resolving missing persons cases, especially with those individuals who are vulnerable and unable to communicate effectively.

While the relief is certainly palpable, the circumstances surrounding Mr. Weston's disappearance have not been disclosed by the Dallas Police. The community, having shared the initial call for help, naturally has many questions. In time, more details may shed light on what transpired during the days Mr. Weston was missing. Individuals with further information have been urged to stay in contact with the Police Department, by calling either 911 or (214) 671-4268 for any follow-ups.
