He has been away from home since May 2nd? I wonder how he ate and where he slept?

Good news is he figured something out. Hopefully he met some nice folks who helped him.

Very happy to read about it. It seems that the community is tight and supportive. Everyone was aware, everyone was supportive, everyone cared.

Wow, I did not expect this outcome but I’m so happy! He looks fine, not dirty, not hurt. That’s great!

Excellent news. Thank God!
adding: although we hardly hear about the back story, I would love to know where he hung out all this time and he did look clean. IMO

Olean Police Capt. Robert Blovsky was relieved to have the search, which began May 2, end with Geise being spotted walking into the North Union Street Wendy’s restaurant around 10 p.m. Saturday. [snip] “By his own choice, he was staying in an abandoned house on Adams Street —... Geise slept in the darkened building. “He said he found some blankets.” As to why Geise left home without notice, police declined to give specifics leading to the decision. “It concerns issues in the family,” Blovsky said, declining to comment further besides noting it did not include criminal abuse. [snip] Geise would walk to Forness Park to search garbage cans for food, Blovsky said, putting up the hood of his sweatshirt and actively avoiding being seen or identified. But by Saturday, Geise had enough. “He was getting lonely — he was living off scraps in the garbage.”
