Relief has spread through the Denton community as the City of Denton Police Department announced on social media that Tony, the 24-year-old man who went missing earlier this week, has been safely located. An outpouring of gratitude followed the department's update, thanking the public for their role in sharing the critical missing person alert. The simple post on the City of Denton Police Department's official Facebook page read: "Update 5:00 p.m. | Tony has been located! Thank you so much for sharing!"
Tony was reported missing after he was last seen at his residence in the 3900 block of Sheraton Road last Tuesday at around 11 a.m. It was particularly concerning due to his cognitive and emotional impairments, which made his unexplained disappearance all the more alarming. Compounding concerns were details that his cell phone appeared to be turned off, and he was not known to leave his home unaccounted for. Described as a tall individual standing at 6 feet and weighing around 190 pounds, Tony was last seen donning a blue shirt adorned with a teddy bear and brown pants that featured sewn-on patches.
In the immediate aftermath of his disappearance, the Denton Police had urged the public to keep an eye out and report any sightings directly to 911.
