A Houston man who went missing as a teen more than eight years ago was found sleeping in front of a local church, according to police.
Rudolph “Rudy” Farias IV had been missing since March 6, 2015, according to a missing persons flyer published by the Texas Center for the Missing.
On June 29, the Houston Police Department received a call for service, responded to the church in east Houston and later confirmed that the individual was Farias, a department spokesperson said.
It’s unclear where Farias has been over the years, and officials did not offer further details on his past whereabouts or what led to the call that reunited him with his family.
He is “receiving the care he needs to overcome his trauma,” his mother, Janie Santana, said in a statement for the family.
Farias is nonverbal and is unable to communicate with his family, according to the statement.
He was found by a good Samaritan who called 911, the family statement said, adding they had no other information on his case.
