After a long search, a teenager who went missing eight years ago has been found alive by US authori-ties in the state of Texas, reported CNN.
The American media outlet shared that Texas Center for the Missing confirmed Rudolph “Rudy” Farias IV, who was missing since March 6, 2015, has been found. “After 8 long years, Rudy has been located safe,” said a Sunday tweet from the Texas Center for the Missing.
“Please continue to keep his family in your prayers as Rudy recovers in the hospital.” Farias’ mother told CNN affiliate KTRK that authorities had received a 911 call of finding Rudy unresponsive outside a church, with cuts and bruises. She believes that her son was badly abused and beaten.
The mother said Farias is only speaking a few words at a time before going into a fetal position. She believes it will be a long journey before her son heals completely from the trauma he went through.—Agencies
