Kansas authorities need help identifying young man found near rest stop

GREENWOOD COUNTY, Kan. (KAKE) -

Authorities in southeast Kansas need the public's help in identifying a young man with special needs who was found near a rest stop.

Greenwood County Sheriff Heath Samuels said a rest stop custodian called 911 at around 6 a.m. Thursday after finding the young man near the Beaumont stop on Highway 400. He's about 6 feet tall, weighs 220 pounds, has brown hair and blue eyes. The sheriff said he may be autistic.

I am so mad this young man has not been identified yet. I pray he is identified soon and LE ensures he is safe wherever he goes.

Several situations like this recently -- a young man found in Las Vegas communicating with a tablet, the young man possibly from Kansas 'hitchhiking' in Oklahoma with a backpack of toys, now this one!

When I initially saw a Facebook post about this young man today, I thought it was the same one with the toys in the back pack, was that man ever identified?

Being found at a rest stop in such a rural area makes me think this young man was abandoned there by a family member or caretaker

As per Sheriff's FB page he has been identified by teacher and it also has been verified now by Sheriff.
