Keeping in mind this info about him wearing his deceased brother's necklace when found... that came directly from his mother. So, unless LE give me a reason to, I'm not really taking her comments as factual right now.I'm going to believe the neighbors at this time. In addition, knowing that Rudy was still wearing the necklace of his brother (this has been on my mind) speaks volumes. Do you go missing for 8 years and are still able to wear a necklace you were originally wearing in 2015? Not impossible - but not realistic.
Moreover, what about the billboard and any tips to the tipline over the years... calls, tips ignored and not checked into? I don't get it, overall.

Neighbors question whether Houston man found alive after 8 years was ever missing
Neighbors of a Houston man who was found alive after vanishing as a teen eight years ago have questioned whether the 25-year-old had ever really been missing.nypost.com

Farias was still wearing the necklace of his brother — who died in a 2011 motorcycle accident — and was nonverbal, she said.
Darned right the case needs a "fresh look". It's Wednesday....Rudy was "found" over the weekend. Thank heavens Tim Miller is involved. With the publicity and details coming out (eg the neighbours), there's no telling whether Rudy is even in more danger, and that his mother may do something drastic.The case of Rudy Farias, the teenager found over the weekend after going missing in 2015, is getting a fresh look from Houston Police. Chief Troy Finner told our TV partner Channel Two they have a lot of questions.
“I just think that we need to get in and get some answers right now,” said Finner who then added, “We’ll get down to the bottom of it.”
Tim Miller of EquuSearch is also trying to find answers, admitting that he has spoken with HPD investigators routinely since Farias was discovered outside of the church last week. Miller said in the last 24 hours, HPD has told him, “They want to go visit Rudy. They want to go talk with family and they want to put things together, but nobody has what you got.”
What Miller is referencing is a video we obtained after workers at a business near where Farias was found expressed concerns. They said the man in the video never visited their establishment. They also said that the man came in only hours before Farias was discovered. He also was incoherent, had no money and left after someone purchased a meal for him, according to the workers. A few hours later, Farias, who is unable to talk, according to his family, was discovered across the street by HPD and HFD.
“The mystery man in that video needs to be tracked down and checked out immediately,” said Miller, who believes investigators should identify whether or not it is Rudy.

The 25 year old was found over the weekend after going missing in 2015.ktrh.iheart.com
Rudy's family excitedly confirmed the news in a statement posted to Facebook, writing: "It's him!!! It's our Rudy, he's been found and he's alive and in the hospital right now."
They said he was "unrecognisable" as they claimed he'd "been through hell and abused" but in a strange twist in the case, they revealed he now thought he was a different person.
"He thinks his name is Julio Torres and he's 14 now," they said.
Teen found alive after vanishing 8 years ago 'was living with mum whole time'
Rudy Farias vanished in 2015 when he was 17 years old but neighbours of his mum were stunned to find out he'd been found alive last week as they claim he was never really missingwww.dailystar.co.uk
First responders were called last Thursday night for a person on the steps of a church. They identified him as Rudy based on something he had with him that enabled them to contact a family member. Police only confirmed it publicly when they were asked over the weekend. No one other than his mother/aunt have seen Rudy since Thursday, and their information on him and his condition are unconfirmed.
The one linked in this article Houston police to meet with Rudy Farias' family as rumors swirl over his alleged 8-year disappearance has already been deleted. Hmm. Guess she doesn't need the "help with medical bills for my baby boy" afterall?
My mistake...Thursday. 6 days ago. That's even worse.
Maybe she's the one who kept him alive, invisible, away from a criminal element? Sort of like a parent who violates a custody order and goes underground, just without the resources. Just how heavy was that trial? For which side was he slated to testify? Maybe his mom was afraid of losing another person...
Agreed! The fact that police didn't issue a press release about a missing person being recovered speaks volumes. This missing person, a child when he was reported missing, is the son of a deceased Houston Police officer and the stepson of a deceased Harris County deputy. Generally, a case like that remains front and center for law enforcement.
Ironically, this is one of the very few cases recently where the media isn't actually using inflammatory language (the links I've seen, anyway), but instead, it's the actual story coming from actual witnesses who have interacted with this young man.Reached by phone Wednesday Farias' aunt, his mother's sister, also declined to answer questions, maintaining relatives were choosing not to give interviews because "the media" had been twisting everything about the case.
A family member had called authorities in 2018 to report that Farias had been staying behind their residence, according to Shay Awosiyan, a Houston
Emergency responders again were contacted Thursday, after getting a call saying that Farias had been sleeping in front of a church near Avenue K and 76th Street, Awosiyan said. Officers responded to the location and found Farias.
The extent of Farias’ injuries and medical condition was not immediately clear.
Chief Troy Finner, in a statement made to Houston television station Click2Houston, referred to the case as “very, very active,” but said he didn’t have many updates to provide
Fund purportedly set up by Farias’ mother, Janie, contended: “At the end of the day I am a mother and I have the right to grieve without questioning.”

Agree 100%
Thank you so much for this mention of Tim Miller. Agree with your comments. It's getting to be too often that in general the question of the day is what is wrong with people nowadays? Appears not looking ahead and how their actions will affect others?
