“Rudy is safe. He is with his mother by choice,”Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said during a press conference, apparently referring to bizarre and unsubstantiated claims he was being held against his will by his own mom.
A Texas man named Rudy Farias made national headlines last week when he seemingly resurfaced after reportedly disappearing on a dog walk eight years ago. Cracks began to appear in that narrative almost immediately—and now police confirm that the 25-year-old was never actually missing: He’s been living with his mother, and both of them allegedly lied to investigators.
Farias was 17 when he was reported missing on March 6, 2015. Houston Police said on Thursday that their probe revealed he returned home the following day despite his mother’s ongoing claims that he had vanished. Police also challenged an allegation that Farias was sexually abused while he was “missing.” Finner said that Farias did not mention any abuse during his Wednesday interview with police, contradicting a claim made for the TV cameras by a controversial community leader Quanell X.
