HOUSTON – The niece of a missing elderly man with a mental disability canvassed the area surrounding a bus station near downtown Houston Wednesday, where he was last seen.

Cecil Stewart, 72, was last seen Aug. 7.

Stewart’s niece, Cassandra Stewart, said she drove her uncle to the Greyhound bus terminal, located at 2121 S. Main in Midtown. He was scheduled to board a bus to Alexandria, Louisiana at 1:45 p.m. to stay with his son, Cassandra Stewart said.

“I walked him (into the bus station). The security guard stopped me before I could get to the back and said you can’t walk him back there. I got him. I’ll walk him,” Stewart said, recounting what she said a security guard at the bus station told her when she attempted to wait with her uncle until boarding.

Wow, this is scary! Perhaps the security guard got busy and forgot about Cecil? There's no surveillance of him getting on or off the bus... The article also states that his bus ticket was voided in Lafayette, LA. It's been 12 days already since he went missing. What in the world happened?

His ticket was voided in LA? Where does the niece live? Any family in Lafayette?

what does the 'ticket was voided' mean?

 

[MimosaMornings]

Did he normally ride the bus? And telling him not to get off the bus? Doesn’t sound very reassuring that he’s able to manage it on his own.

An 8 hour bus ride on a good day.

By car it’s less than 4 hours.

Greyhound better get to finding Mr. Stewart. This is not looking good on their part if their guard took him from family. What happened after that? Where'd he go instead of on the bus? If the witness is correct in her memory, why was sitting on the grass? Ugh....something isn't adding up here.

“I walked him (into the bus station). The security guard stopped me before I could get to the back and said you can’t walk him back there. I got him. I’ll walk him,” Stewart said, recounting what she said a security guard at the bus station told her when she attempted to wait with her uncle until boarding.

It’s unclear if Mr. Stewart boarded the bus. His family, along with Quanell X, community activist, believe he never left Houston. Moreover, conflicting stories worsen the confusion, accounts from staff at Greyhound with whom Cassandra Stewart and Quanell X say they spoke.

“One of the security men said we put him on the bus. The driver of the bus said he never saw him on the bus. The two stops that were made up to Alexandria, Louisiana, he never made it off the bus,” Quanell X said.

Snip

Davis spoke to C. S. and Q. X as they handed out missing person’s fliers outside the bus station. Davis recalled seeing Cecil Stewart at the bus station.

“Matter of fact, he walked across the street and sat on the ground because they didn’t want to let him in Greyhound,” Davis said.

I wish LE, Greyhound, Quanell X, and/or Mr. Stewart's niece would give an update on this situation. I hope Cecil is safe.
