I’m just going off what his mother said, that his skin tone was much darker he was hardly recognizable. Along with the weight loss of course.
This is where I’m going mentally. He lost his father shortly before he disappeared. Maybe something triggered him on his walk. They say he was suffering from depression, PTSD, and something else. An article named it but my brain can’t remember. So, he has a mental breakdown after the loss of his father. My guess is he has been living on the streets this whole time confused. He’s been seen around family members houses bc he recognized something about them. I feel like the family knew he was out there but were always one step behind. What I am confused about is whether he was found beaten and unresponsive as I have not seen that. I’ve seen he was asleep in front of a church and looked in rough shape so someone called police to check on him. JMO
That doesn't make sense. According to family, he had been missing for 3 years in 2018. They discover him at a relative's home - meaning they should be quite relieved to find him and talk with him. Instead of staying with him, they do something else and when they look again, he's no longer in the yard.
Houston teen who went missing in 2015 is found alive in city
Rudy Farias was found lying on the ground in front of a church, with his whereabouts for the past eight years still unknownwww.theguardian.com
Cannon said Farias’s family did report to police investigators that they had seen him in September 2018, staying behind the home of a relative.
Police investigators followed up on the 2018 sighting and went to the relative’s home. But “they could not observe him. They could not locate him,” Cannon said.
Wrong skin tone, wrong weight, wrong name, but it's him!
I am thinking that too. He lost his father and brother before he went missing. I suspect the grief likely caused him to have some psychotic break.
When I was a kid, my cousins moved from WA to Guam. They lived there about 10 years and when they moved back, they were literally unrecognizable. The one cousin that was a year older than me had deep crowsfeet wrinkles, and looked around 40 years old, lol (he was 17). He also had super dark skin, and he's as Scottish as the day is long.
I also wonder if he could have had a head injury that caused some degree of amnesia. Iirc, his head was bloody ?
Well, that's not exactly what the article said.
Me too. My sister was about 13 when her illness began to manifest, although looking back, we do believe the schizophrenia was always present. Even now at age 40, she is severely ill , on the streets, and rarely comes home anymore, and when she does, she doesn't remember us very well, and usually thinks we are imposters.
Like you said, he was found in the same city he went missing in and three years after his disappearance, he was also spotted in the same city. I’m sure his relatives must of kept looking for him after they spotted him but didn’t find him. Pasadena is not like downtown or midtown houston that has a grid design. During the winter freeze of 2021, Hurricane Harvey and the extremely hot summer days, where did he find shelter?
Agree, unless he is mentally challenged Perhaps?
Except for his haircut for some reason.
