After 5 1/2 days of searching, 40-year-old Doyle Lee Parsons was found around 12:35 p.m. this afternoon, alive and dehydrated.
Volunteer Jim Monroe found Parsons near a creek bed about three miles southeast from his ranch residence.
Parsons was disoriented and dehydrated, and was taken to Shannon in San Angelo.
There has been no sign of foul play so far.
The Nolan County Sheriff wants to express appreciation for all the agencies and volunteers looking out for him.
