[h=1]Missing Sylmar Teens Phone Located Through App Near Area of Mount Wilson Fire, Sister Says[/h]
http://ktla.com/2017/10/18/missing-...p-near-area-of-mount-wilson-fire-sister-says/Police are asking for the public's help as they search for a missing 18-year-old man from Sylmar whose phone was located with the help of an app near Mount Wilson area on Tuesday, the same day a brush fire charred dozens of acres in the area.
Matthew Huerta was last spotted around 11:30 p.m. Monday in the 13400 block of Bradley Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Elaine Morelos, Huerta's sister, told KTLA her younger brother had left the family's home around 4:30 a.m. or 5 a.m. Tuesday -- presumably to go jogging, as he usually does around that time.
Huerta never returned, however, prompting concern from the tight-knit family, and they immediately began trying to locate him.
They found a letter indicating the teen was thinking of hurting himself, and that he was experiencing depression and mental health issues, according to Morelos.
With the help of the Find My Friends app, Huerta's friends were able to trace his cellphone to the Mount Wilson area, near where the fire broke out on Tuesday, she said.
