Johnny Ray Strong, 70, disappeared from Bearden, Arkansas on July 19, 2023. He was last seen on foot in the 1300 block of Ouachita 95, wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans and a dark-colored hat. He is six feet tall, about 160 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes.

His daughter says they were on the way to have him tested for dementia when he went missing. She was following him in her car as he walked toward a neighbor’s house and lost sight of him after briefly backing up to get a better cell signal. The Ouachita County Sheriff’s Office issued a Silver Alert and searches using helicopters and drones turned up no clues. The family later offered a cash reward and the case is listed as an endangered missing person.

A month before he disappeared he had fallen and been caught in barbed wire for two hours, a detail the family says illustrates his vulnerability. Does anyone in the Bearden area remember seeing Johnny on or after July 19, 2023, or have information that could help locate him?
