Law enforcement officers found missing Mexia teenager Desmond “Dez” Connally Jr. in Fort Worth and returned him to his mother’s custody over the weekend.
Connally’s mother, Precious Simmons, said tips by informants helped Fort Worth police officers locate the 16-year-old who went missing Saturday, Aug. 3, about 11 a.m. from his cousin’s house in Mexia where he had spent the night.
Mexia police officers met Fort Worth officers halfway between the two cities, and his mother picked him up at the Mexia police station about 1 a.m. Saturda, Aug.10, she said.
