UPDATE: Man comes forward with possible Harley Morris sighting
Posted/updated on: July 31, 2024 at 7:38 amUPDATE: Last week on the 6 month mark of Harley Morris being missing, his mother Wendi Attaway Morris went to his last known location to pass out flyers in hopes of getting his name brought back up. Shortly after that, according to our news partner KETK, a man reached out to the family saying he had seen someone matching Harleyâs description. That possible sighting happened at the Longview Walmart on Estes Parkway recently. Today their message remains the same, hope that everything they are doing is helping keep Harleyâs name alive.
âA man said that he might have possibly seen him in Longview near Estes and that he spoke to him, he was pretty sure, of course, he canât be 100% sure that it was Harley, and so the police have gone and theyâre investigating this, theyâre hopefully pulling footage to be able to identify if this possibly was Harley,â Tyler Texas Missing Persons Support and Awareness Group founder Alexandra Ashcraft said.
Wendi said they are now reaching out to fishermen to search the lakes in the area. The family told KETK they have notified the police about the tip.
âI have hope, just the simple fact that we havenât found anything gives me hope, and as a mother and Iâm sure any parent out there can understand, I canât give up on my son, he was my life he is my life, and I just want to find him,â Wendi said.
‘I miss him dearly’: Harley Morris still missing 6 months later
TYLER, Texas (KETK) â Six months later, Harley Morris, of Tyler, remains missing.
âI miss him dearly, he was a kind soul and he didnât deserve this,â Harleyâs mother Wendi Attaway Morris said.
For weeks theyâve been searching the area and putting up flyers, in hopes that someone with any information would come forward.
âItâs been the six-month anniversary and we still donât have any information,â Wendi said.
She told KETK she feels his name and memory are starting to fade for people as the days pass.
âIt seems like the community and everyone goes on with their lives, but mine is still stopped because I canât find my son,â Wendi said.
Thatâs why Alexandra Ashcraft, the founder of the Tyler Texas Missing Persons Support and Awareness group, stepped up to help. She organized a day for flyers to be passed out and set up flowers at Harleyâs last known location.
âHarley had a green thumb, he loved gardening, so we wanted to put some flowers out here,â Ashcraft said.
Wendi is hopeful that someone will come forward and wanted to leave anyone involved with the following message.
âTell us where he is so that we can bring him home to us. If you have any information, we donât want to prosecute you, we just want information about Harley,â Wendi said.
If you have any information on Harley, his mother is asking that you reach out to her or the police.
