Tennessee Missing and Unsolved has issued an urgent plea for help locating Edward “Duane” Haston of Harriman, Tennessee, who has gone missing while traveling to Florida. After boarding a bus in Cookeville to visit family in the Sarasota, Northport, and Venice areas, Mr. Haston failed to arrive at his destination and was last heard from around 7:00 PM when he borrowed a phone while re-boarding a bus in Tampa.

He is in a highly vulnerable state, as he suffers from osteoarthritis, requires a walker or crutches to move, and is missing his phone, money, and other resources due to prior trouble keeping his belongings during the trip. He is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall when standing on his left leg (and shorter on his right), and he may currently be shirtless and shoeless.

While an official missing persons report has not yet been filed, his daughter is deeply concerned for his safety; anyone who sees him is asked to show kindness, help him contact his family, and immediately report any information regarding his whereabouts.
