The Bexar County Sheriff's Office has canceled the endangered missing persons alert for 14-year-old Marc Ortensie, a teen with an intellectual disability, after he was found safe. In a brief update, the Sheriff's Office confirmed the positive outcome but did not provide further details on the circumstances of his recovery. The initial alert, beckoning the community's attention and assistance, spread rapidly after Marc disappeared yesterday evening near Beckwood Drive and Bulveria Road in North Bexar County.
Described by authorities as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and weighing approximately 140 pounds, Marc has brown eyes and black hair. Last seen, he was wearing a backpack and a gray Under Armour shirt, the back of which featured a dolphin, blue shorts, and blue tennis shoes, as reported by KENS5.
The news of Marc's disappearance generated urgent appeals for public vigilance, with local authorities publicizing the case widely through media outlets and social platforms. The community was urged to maintain a keen eye, lending their collective awareness to the search for Marc, to bring him home safely. "If you see Marc, call 911 or the Bexar County Sheriff's Office at (210) 335-6000," was the repeated plea from officials, as noted in the FOX San Antonio coverage.
