Xavior Harrelson reward fund surpasses $22,000; benefit concert planned

The concert is planned for Tuesday, June 29. Proceeds will go to the reward fund for information about the missing boy.

MONTEZUMA, Iowa — If you know where Xavior Harrelson may be, contact the Poweshiek County Sheriff's Office at 641-623-5679

A benefit concert will be held Tuesday, June 29 for missing 11-year-old Montezuma boy Xavior Harrelson.

Proceeds from the event, which will include a silent auction, food and drinks will go to the reward fund for information about Harrelson. 

That fund has now reached $22,425.

"We want to bring Xavior home," said event organizer Joy Manatt VanLandschoot. "Somebody out there knows where he is or what happened. This community and Xavior's family needs answers."

The concert is from 7-9 p.m. at the Poweshiek County Fairgrounds in Grinnell.

The community is encouraged to come see Iowa musicians Adam Whitehead and Hunter Mason, donate to the cause and wear orange, Harrelson's favorite color.

The 11-year-old has now been missing for more than three weeks.

The Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office said the reward, which started at $15,000, is funded by pledges from local businesses and concerned citizens.

Harrelson went missing "on or about May 27” in Montezuma, a small town where he lived in a trailer park with his mother. The sheriff’s office said the money would be paid out for “information which leads to resolution of this case.”

Those wishing to donate more money to the reward fund can do so by contacting the Montezuma State Bank at 641-623-5766.
