Gordon Lemons, 46, a Texarkana, Texas, man accused of multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, is a fugitive after allegedly faking his own death in May 2025. Court records show he failed to appear for hearings since April 2025 and was indicted in October 2024 for abusing a 12-year-old girl. A probable cause affidavit details how Lemons’ GPS ankle monitor lost signal on the Red River bridge in Garland, Arkansas, before his truck and motorcycle were tracked in Texarkana. His body was never found, and a warrant was issued for his failure to appear. Lemons’ sister reportedly removed his belongings from his residence days later. In July 2025, a witness confirmed Lemons was alive and attempting to flee to Mexico. Law enforcement later linked his motorcycle to Corpus Christi, Texas, and identified Thesia Griffin, 44, as a suspect in aiding his evasion. Griffin faces up to ten years in prison for hindering a known felon. Lemons remains at large and faces life imprisonment if convicted of aggravated sexual assault charges. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Bowie County law enforcement.
