Heather Shaw says
The clothing description is incorrect. He was last seen on 9-9-12 around Bush rd area wearing a grey tshirt blue basketball shorts and slippers
Kenyarda, Ross says
Also he is approximatly 5’9 not 5’4.
Barbara Walter's Sideburns says
He is actually ~146lbs instead of ~145, and was wearing flip-flops instead of slippers.
Amanda Olivera says
Ok this description is all wrong He was last seen on 9-9-12 around 6pm at my house on Bush Rd in abingdon, he is about 5’9 around 160lbs. and was wearing a grey Vneck Tshirt and navy blue basketball shorts. come on get it right…
Old Skool says
So is it considered missing if a 22 year old leaves voluntarily? I don’t see the issue here.
Bobbie Koble says
YES it is still considered missing. I pray you never have to not know what happens to you loved ones. If you couldn’t find a parent are they not missing just because they’re an adult.
Kharn says
Is he mentally ill? Involved in any illicit matters? Or are we just looking for a 22 year old that hasn’t shown up for two weeks?
Try Parris Island, maybe he joined the Marines.
techno viking says
Actually, I heard he was wearing crocs, and 147lbs.
techno viking says
I heard 5’8″ too
HEY MAN says
HEY MAN 200 LBS, 5’7″ AND WEARING HALF FLIP FLOPS HALF NIKES IS WHAT I READ
Kenyarda, Ross says
Wow so insensitive, if it were your family how would you like if people keep writing stupid comments? He’s missing, no he isn’t ill, and was not involved in any illegal activity. This is my cousin and I would appreciate it if you guys don’t post negative comments, or attempt at making jokes with your stupid humor that no one understands or care about. Thank you!
just me says
Well I know this young man from seeing him around, and Kendra I do not know you but honey my prayers go out to your family, and I hope and pray That he is ok. Don’t pay people any minion here honey, their ignorance shows because they are lonely and insensitive… may God biting your family peace in this time…
Kenyarda, Ross says
Thank you!
KO says
Anyone who knows Laron (littles) the way my family, his family, and his friends do would know that he does not usually do this. He would never unexpectedly leave his daughter and girlfriend at her house without saying something. If he knew he would be leaving for a while he would have brought his clothes, phone charger and house keys. The only things missing were himself and what was in his pocket. His phone and wallet. Point of comment: have more respect than posting sarcastic comments. If you dont have anything helpfull or nice to say then dont even bother. You make youreself seem unintelligent and rude.
Kenyarda, Ross says
Thanks KO!
HEY MAN says

HEY MAN says
HEY WHEN DID THE CIRCUS COME TO TOWN
ALEX R says
Great post, Ashley. It helps us all to understand what too much of that stuff does for your brain. And the results of failure to get an education. Peddle it somewhere else momma, no here is buying it and you are not helping anyone.
joe schlom says
All that harsh language, and name calling and you’re the one to call someone rude, and ignorant?
Little John says
I thought those were rap lyrics at first. Then I realized it was just an uneducated angry person. Next time try some clean expletives, eg “Motherfather.”
And the East Side Boys says
I hope Ashley isn’t a reflection of recent Harford County Schools. “Honk if you support education”
HCPSTeacher10 says
Another example of how much Harford County loves to hate it’s teachers-blame Ashley’s diatribe on Harford County Public Schools.
You assume that Ashley’s language and writing is a product of a classroom?! That a teacher would find that acceptable?! I doubt there’s a classroom in the entire state where that would be acceptable to a teacher, but that kind of language and hostility is something many teachers battle in their classroom with in regard to some students that use it to engage in a power struggle for control of the classroom.
Ashley is a product of his/her parents (or most likely the streets where that type of persona is considered “cool”) … not the classroom.
It’s a two part process. A teacher can try to educate, but the student also has to be willing to learn.
HEY MAN says
HEY MAN THAT POSTER DIDN’T ASSUME NOTHING THEY JUST HOPED IT WASNT A PRODUCT OF SCHOOLS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD STEP OFF YOUR AELF RIGHTEOUS HIFH HORSE AND READ BETTER LOL
HEY MAN MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET A NEW JOB IF IT SUCLS THAT BAD
ALEX R says
Nah, we don’t totally blame the schools. The parents had to work real, real hard as well to get the result we are seeing. And we did say FAILURE to get an education. We know it was available to her and that, for the most part, the failure was hers.
Real oomc says
People who have no life or nothing better to do if that is someones son father brother friend exc. Nobody knows if they will loose or someone close to them goes missing my prayers are with the family and friends this cant be easy to deal with so many people Don have respect for life.
Real oomc says
And people got nerve to be making jokes smh
barbara walter's rusty sideburns says
SO DID WE FIND OUR MAN OR WHAT?
WHAT WAS HE DOING.
BLAME SCHOOLS.
Greg says
Seriously people? This is someone we care about who is genuinely missing and everyone just wants him to come back safely, but here you go trolling a missing persons article or raising arguments about the quality of education. Perhaps you should be questioning your parents ability to instill morals and values in their children. Those of us who actually care are here because we’re worried. The rest of you need to find something productive to do or keep your ignorance to yourself.
barbara walter's rusty sideburns says
I am extremely concerned about this man. As a father, husband, and friend, I can understand the deepest amount of pain and trauma that goes hand-in-hand with missing persons. It sucks.
Heather Shaw says
I won’t comment on how this article went stray. This is still a father, grandso, cousin, friend and love one that is missing. Laron I love you and I need you to home home safe to your daughter and family. We are praying for you.
Kimberly Bullock says
