Missing DeSoto Senior Found Safe in Texarkana, Community Breathes Sigh of Relief

In a welcome update following a tense search, the DeSoto Police Department announced on social media that Don Kent Rhone, the 66-year-old man reported missing earlier this week, was found safe at his brother’s house in Texarkana. This conclusion brought an end to the Silver Alert issued following Rhone’s disappearance from his residence at The Arbors On Wintergreen Senior Apartments last Friday around 4 PM. The family has indicated they are organizing his return home, according to theDeSoto Police Department.

Rhone’s absence had raised immediate concerns due to his medical condition, including dementia, congestive heart failure, and type 2 diabetes, which necessitates constant medical attention; his descriptions had been widely disseminated with an emphasis on his health condition and physical attributes, including a scar in the middle of his chest from open heart surgery and scars on his neck from another procedure, Rhone was last seen in black pajama pants, a gray shirt, a black Platinum Security jacket, and a White 2017 Ford Escape, authorities had put forth significant effort to facilitate his swift and safe discovery. The relief surrounding his well-being has been palpable across the community and the assisting public.

The circumstances of Rhone’s departure remain partly veiled in the fog of his medical challenges, yet his mention of the desire to travel to Texarkana earlier in the day had offered a critical clue to his possible whereabouts; this detail, it seems, ultimately correlated with his discovered location. Rhone’s journey, taken in his identifiable White 2017 Ford Escape, might well have followed this articulated urge, a detail that likely aided in the satisfactory outcome of what might have been a far grimmer narrative.
