A man reported missing from Houston more than eight years ago as a teenager is alive and safe in north Texas. The Texas Center for the Missing announced on Saturday that Rudy Farias the Fourth, who is now 25, is recovering in a hospital. Police said a man who would later identified as Farias was found sleeping near a church in southeast Houston. Farias was 17 when he disappeared in March 2015 while walking his dogs. The dogs came home without him. Farias' family says Rudy had been depressed over the death of his brother.
