A North Texas family is searching for a man who was last seen near a creek in Garland before a heavy downpour.
It's been three days since she last saw her boyfriend near a garland creek. Still, for Stacy Simpson, it’s as if time has stood still."It was sprinkling at first. Then it started coming harder. The ground was already saturated, so the culvert filled up a lot quicker,” said Simpson.
As an afternoon downpour moved in Saturday, Simpson searched for shelter nearby. She says 50-year-old Gerrad Kelley stayed behind near Pleasant Valley Road and Shalimar Drive. "I was there for five or 10 minutes, and I came back. That's when I got that video. The water was up higher than I've ever seen it,” she said.Fort Worth report finds over a quarter of homes are owned by commercial interests. What does it mean for buyers?
Days later, the creek is again quiet. Friends are helping Simpson continue the search downstream where she fears rushing water carried her partner of eight years.The family describes Kelley as 5'6" and approximately 170 lbs. He has brown hair, a grey beard and tattoos on both his finger and wrist."We'll just keep looking until we find him,” said Simpson.White Rock Lake
