The family is unsure where he is but believes he might be somewhere between Lincoln and Omaha.

“We don’t know if he’s in hiding because he’s scared or we don’t know if he’s in hiding ‘cause he doesn’t want to go back to the group home and he wants to be home,” Tronson said.

Tronson also expressed frustration that Martin was able to walk away from the facility in the first place. 10/11 reached out to Integrated Behavioral Health Services for comment but they declined due to privacy reasons.
