A 19-year-old who disappeared from his family’s home in California nearly three years ago has been found in Utah, bringing astonishment and relief to his parents who feared they would never see him again.
That led them to an outstanding warrant from February in Nevada.
The officers set to work shifting through paperwork, looking for reports of missing and endangered children. About 16 pages in, they found a 2019 missing person report from Clearlake, California. Though it had a slightly different name spelling from the Nevada warrant, the photos matched and they called his family.
“Everyone in the room was in tears. They went above and beyond, put hours of work," he said. “They could have dismissed it, but they didn’t and that made all the difference in the world.”
