Big Sandy's Circle M Crawfish is offering $10,000 for any information regarding Harley Morris' whereabouts. The owner also helped Morris' mother find a place to live.
TYLER, Texas — The family of Harley Morris has been missing for seven weeks and still has few answers. The 29-year-old was last seen leaving a bar on Tyler's north side.
He was wearing a Prime 102 hat, black shoes and a black and gray hoodie.
Big Sandy's Circle M. Crawfish is offering a $10,000 reward for any information regarding Morris' whereabouts. Owner Ed Williams met Morris' mother in a unique way. He was contacted by a friend in Florida who happened to know Harley's mother.
“We have a mutual friend in Tampa, Florida, who knows me, knows where I am, and reached out to me,” Williams said.
Since then, Williams helped Morris' mother find a place to live when she moved to East Texas to look for her son.
“She was trying to hit $2,500, and I said, 'Well, $2,500 isn't going to be enough motivation.' So I put up a $10,000 bounty. That's someone. That's enough motivation to criticize your friend or tell someone,” Williams said.
Williams hopes this will shed light on new information.
“She was putting herself in a dangerous situation just by handing out fliers and asking if anyone had heard from him or seen him,” Williams said.
Surveillance video shows Morris leaving a local bar and walking across the parking lot toward Grand Avenue in the early morning hours of Jan. 21.
“I can only imagine what she's going through, because I have children of my own,” Williams said.
Next week will mark two months since Morris was last seen. The Tyler Police Department said there are no new leads in the investigation.
“When people are in a situation where they don't have friends or family, it's the right thing to do,” Williams said.
For now, the search for the 29-year-old continues as posters and signs continue to remind residents of Morris.
Crime Stoppers is also offering a $1,000 reward for any information regarding Harley Morris' whereabouts. This benefit is different from what Circle M Crawfish offers. The Morris family is also offering a $5,000 reward.
