HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – 13-year-old Marcus Lewis, Jr. was last seen in Katy in mid-October, Texas EquuSearch said.
The boy’s mother, who resides in Colorado, told KPRC 2 she’s been searching for her son in Katy for over a month. She said the boy’s father was supposed to return Marcus to her at the end of the summer but never did. She added that she hasn’t spoken to Marcus since Aug. 6. During that phone call, Marcus cried and told her someone hit him. After that call, the cellphone was switched off.
