A teen from California that had been reported missing for nearly three years, has been found alive more than 700 miles away at a Utah gas station.
SALT LAKE CITY -- Authorities in Summit County, Utah, had been hearing about a young man wandering the area with a shopping cart for several weeks.
Deputies offered the man to sit inside one of their vehicles to warm up and began researching who he was, the sheriff's office said."Through past interactions and the Saturday interaction, it was clear to deputies that the man communicated differently," the sheriff's office said, and also included an autism awareness hashtag on its Facebook post.
His mother told authorities Oswalt had a distinctive birthmark on his neck. Deputies found the mark on Oswalt, Wright said.
