Rayville family seeking tips about missing relative

A Rayville family is asking the public’s help in finding a missing relative.

Alex Earl Elder Jr., 51, of Fort Worth, Texas, has been missing since November.

“He came to Rayville to visit his mother, Bobbie Newman, in November,” Tilda Berry explained.

During the visit, Berry is suspected to have gotten into an altercation Nov. 25 on Ouachita Street in Rayville. 

After being struck during the fight, he is thought to have run into the woods. His family has not seen him since.

Berry, who lives in Rayville, said Elder has not contacted her or his mother since his disappearance. Elder’s father, Alex Earl Elder Sr., who also lives in Texas,  said his son has not contacted him either.

“We’re worried and we’re are asking anyone who has seen or heard from him to contact us,” Berry said.

Elder’s mother can be contacted at 318-417-4782 in Rayville and his father at 817-726-7740 in Texas.
