In the quiet rhythms of a family home in Arkansas, small disappearances — a pair of shoes, shifted furniture, missing food — accumulated into a truth no one had anticipated: a homeless man had been living in the basement for days. When Preston Landis emerged from a storage closet on April 29, the encounter forced a Harding University professor's family to reckon not only with the violation of their private space, but with the deeper vulnerability of a man who had nowhere else to go. The law answered with charges and bail; the family answered with something closer to compassion.
