Missing Little Elm Man, 95, Found Safe in Oklahoma

Little Elm police say a 95-year-old man reported missing Sunday afternoon has been found safe in Oklahoma.

"Mr. Farris was located in Edmond, OK., at his grandson's residence," Little Elm police posted on Facebook. "He is safe. Thanks to everyone for your help and concerns in this matter."

Little Elm police say Joe Farris left his home in the 1400 block of Crystal Lake Drive on Sunday. He was later seen on a security camera at a nearby Wal-Mart on FM 423.

The Little Elm Police Department released this image of Joe Farris as he was leaving the Wal-Mart on FM 423.

Little Elm police say Farris then got into a small black SUV with the man seen in the picture below. He is described as a white male, mid 30's in age, wearing a "trucker" style hat and a Smith & Wesson sweatshirt.

Little Elm Police say a missing 96 year old man was last seen getting into a black SUV with this man on Sunday April 2, 2017.

Police are not sure who that man is, or why Farris would get in the car with him. Investigators would just like to talk to him.

Officers said Monday morning Faris was taken to a bus stop in Dallas.

Search helicopters were up over the "Frisco Ranch" neighborhood Sunday night near Farris' home, but found nothing.

No further details were released.
