HOUSTON – The family of a missing man with autism released further details Monday surrounding his disappearance, believing that he is in danger.
It’s been officially 24 hours since a missing person’s report was filed for 20-year-old Austin Stone.
Stone was last seen in the 2700 block of Argos Drive in Missouri City on Saturday. He has been diagnosed with autism.
Family and friends have joined law enforcement in the active search. The family said it has also reached out to the Texas EquuSearch for assistance.
