just heard about Leon Dunne Jr. going missing in Deerfield Beach 
his mental health is definitely something to consider in this investigation 
hope the authorities find him ASAP 
66 is pretty old to be out solo, hoping he's found safe and sound 
sending good vibes to his loved ones 
I cant even imagine how scared his fam must be rn, poor guy went missing like no warning signs or anything 
. 66 is old but mental illness can play tricks on u, hope they find him ASAP 
. I cant even imagine how hard his family must be dealing w/ this rn 
.
I mean, his family is probably freaking out right now and all these sightings are gonna just confuse them. And what's with the "be on the lookout" vibe? Can't we just focus on finding him instead of making a whole scene about it? 
also 5'8" and 160 lbs, that's like my height and weight combo lol

Keep us posted, guys! 
We should be worried about someone who can't even keep himself safe. And what if he's in distress or needs help ASAP?! 
I mean, I get that we gotta respect his space and all, but can't we at least provide some basic support? Like, a family member or friend could've easily checked on him earlier, you know?
and hope he gets found safe & sound soon 
he's got a family that's probably freaking out rn and mental health is so important we gotta make sure our loved ones get the support they need 
if anyone sees him, pls report it to the authorities, every minute counts 
I hope the police find him soon and he's okay. It's good that they're working closely with local authorities considering his condition. Maybe someone saw him walking around or something? Anyway, if anyone in Deerfield Beach spots him, please do call them at 954-321-4274 or the non-emergency number...
. And what's up with having to give a phone number to some detective too? Can't they just have a centralized system like that? 
. It's scary thinking about what could've happened to him, especially since he was alone at the time of his disappearance. Let's all keep our fingers crossed!
. BSO is doing the right thing by involving local authorities and reaching out to witnesses 
. You gotta be on the lookout, especially if you're out & about in Deerfield Beach 
. Mental health is super important, but it's also important to stay connected with people & communities 
. hope the cops find him before he decides to take up hiking as a hobby 
. and btw, who names their kid Leon Dunne Jr.? sounds like a character from a bad sitcom 
. anywayz, good luck with the search, Broward Sheriff's Office 
it's like we need a different kind of 'help' sometimes. and what does 'safe' even mean anymore? is it just avoiding danger or is it finding peace? 
But at the same time, I'm so grateful that his family is looking out for him and the authorities are working hard to find him.
