The search for Lester Frank Harrison, a 39-year-old man reported missing from Pompano Beach, continues as the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) reaches out for public assistance. Harrison was last observed on the morning of December 20, 2024, near the vicinity of Northwest Sixth Street as confirmed by BSO detectives. Standing 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 300 pounds, he is noted for his gray hair and blue eyes, as details by WSVN shared from the authorities’ description.

Harrison's family, have conveyed he contends with mental illness and depends on medication, a worrying factor considering his disappearance. "Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact BSO Detective Leonard Charla," informed the Local10 report. The BSO has provided contact avenues through Detective Charla's number at 954-321-4274 or, the BSO non-emergency line at 954-764-HELP (4357).

The BSO Missing Persons Unit emphasizes the urgency in locating Harrison, particularly due to his health conditions which render him vulnerable without his prescribed medications. This sentiment echoes across both WSVN and Local10 reports. The BSO continues to canvass the area, hoping for the quick and safe return of Harrison.

In the wake of this ongoing situation, the community is encouraged to remain vigilant, to share any pertinent information that may aid in Harrison's recovery. "If you or anyone you may know has any information on his whereabouts," WSVN earnestly underscores, the authorities are keen to hear from you.
