A non-verbal man who vanished without a trace in 1999 has been found 25 years later after his sister spotted his photo in a news article.
The man, who has not been named, disappeared from Doyle, California, in 1999 and hadn’t been seen or heard from since, Lassen County Sheriff’s Office said on Monday.
The man, now in his mid-60s, is said to have disappeared of his own accord, reported ABC News.
Now, 25 years later, the man will soon be reunited with his family thanks to a USA Today article.
The article, published in May, detailed how a non-verbal man had been found on April 15 in the Florence-Graham area of south Los Angeles.
A woman saw the article and called police to say she believed the man in the photo was her brother who had gone missing decades earlier.
