I was wondering about schizophrenia too
I can’t figure this one out either. I just found out about this one last week. After going down the rabbit hole this weekend. Not only had he lost his brother to a motorcycle accident and apparently he and his mom showed up to the accident right before his brother died, but his father had also recently committed suicide. Him and three other officers were scamming the department of overtime and an IA investigation was starting. His father shot himself in his patrol car. He posted that he didn’t know his father. But as a young person, there was probably hope to eventually mend that bridge. That was taken away with his fathers death. This could have pushed him mentally over the edge. But I’m the other had, he seemed to love his mother too much to have just taken off.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A Houston family got miraculous news over the weekend, eight years after a 17-year-old went missing in northwest Houston. Now, the mystery surrounding his re-appearance is making national headlines.
Now-25-year-old Rudy Farias is recovering in the hospital.
In an update on Monday, Houston police said there was a reported sighting of the missing man by his family back in 2018, years after he was first went missing.
On Sunday night, ABC13 spoke to Farias' mother on the phone, who shared pictures of him in a hospital bed and said someone called 911 after finding him outside a church, unresponsive in southeast Houston on Thursday.
ABC13 spoke to the mom of the now-25-year-old man, who shared pictures of him in a hospital bed after she said someone found him outside a church unresponsive.
The mother added he was found with cuts and bruises all over his body and blood in his hair and believes he was badly abused and beaten.
Farias' mother said his brother was killed in a motorcycle crash in 2011. Farias reportedly wore a necklace from his brother ever since he passed, and he was still wearing it when he was found over the weekend.
She said Farias, who hasn't said much since he was found, keeps holding onto the necklace.
Farias was 17 years old when he was walking his two dogs near Tidwell and Park Drive on March 6, 2015. His family reported him missing after his dogs were recovered, but Farias was not found.
In 2015, authorities reported Farias was diagnosed with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. Texas EquuSearch began asking the public for help finding him, noting that he was possibly disoriented and hadn't been taking his medication.
Authorities said they temporarily suspended the search for the then-17-year-old on March 10, 2015, while they worked to gather more information. Two days later, on March 12, the hunt continued and ended the next day.
On March 13, 2015, authorities thanked searchers for their commitment while looking for Farias in rain-soaked fields.
Two years after Farias went missing, his mother told ABC13 she was worried for her own safety and thought there was something suspicious about her son's disappearance.
According to HPD, officers got a call from Farias' family in September 2018 after he was spotted living behind a family's home. When officials arrived at the location, they didn't find the missing man.
Nearly five years later, on Sunday, July 2, 2023, authorities confirmed that Farias was located and safe, though questions remain about where he had been for all of those years.
Houston police confirmed that Farias was found at the church located on 76th and Avenue K on Thursday. A caller told authorities that someone was sleeping outside the church front doors. HPD says that Farias had an item on him with a family member's identification which is how they were able to contact his family.
The Houston Fire Department also responded to that initial call. They told ABC13 that police and Farias' mother were on the scene when they got there. Officials said Farias declined to be taken to the hospital, and was instead signed into the care of his mother.
Farias' mother on Sunday said they have tried talking to him, but he will only say a few words and go into a fetal position. She said it would be a long healing journey but is thankful her son has been found alive.
It's unclear if investigators have had a chance to interview him.
HPD said it is not actively involved in the investigation, though the Texas Center for the Missing is. ABC13 reached out to them for more information about the case.

I thought that’s what it said too. But after reading it a few times, it says someone saw him in A family’s backyard. Not a family MEMBERS backyard
He wasn't located at that time so maybe it wasn't a sighting but a (false) suspicion. It wouldn't be the first family of a missing person to point fingers within. Tensions are high. (Clarification upthread, reported sighting in A backyard. That makes more sense.)
His return gives hope for so many that may be lost! I have questions as well. One question I have is who lived in the home when he disappeared? Found so close to home, it appears he may have been hiding in plain sight.
Rudy refused to go to the hospital and he went home with his mother. I thought that he was unresponsive. I'm confused.Man found alive 8 years after going missing was spotted by family in 2018, Houston police say
