RYE, Ark. – A sigh of relief was heard across the community this evening as a missing child in Rye was located safely. As Saline River Chronicle was preparing to publish a report on the missing child, Bradley County Sheriff Herschel Tillman delivered the good news to our staff.
Sheriff Tillman, whose department had been assisting Cleveland County authorities in the search late Friday, confirmed that the child was found about a mile and a half from his home near Harrelson Road. “He is safe,” the sheriff reported.
The search for the child had mobilized local law enforcement and volunteers, who scoured the surrounding area in a concerted effort to find him.
